 Kitchen Details Tour and Giveaways!

Kitchen details www.somuchbetterwithage.com

 Welcome to my kitchen! I hope you’ve been enjoying this amazing tour of 24 bloggers’ kitchens!!

We recently showcased our homes for you and now it’s all about the kitchen details! So let’s get started.

Kitchen details www.somuchbetterwithage.com

Let’s start with a before shot of my kitchen {everyone loves a before and after!}. Our kitchen wasn’t actually in that bad of shape. We kept the cupboards and painted them white. We also kept the granite countertop.

Kitchen details www.somuchbetterwithage.com

Amazing what some white paint and new hardware can do!! I also added glass inserts.

Kitchen details www.somuchbetterwithage.com

 Yep, this was weird. A weird little wall. That’s the only way I can describe it. I still don’t know what it was for. That weird wall and the upper cabinets had to go! Oh yeah, don’t forget the 80s sunshine ceiling!

Kitchen details www.somuchbetterwithage.com

 We had a custom hood vent made and added some gorgeous lighting.

Kitchen tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

I had these upper cabinets replaced with glass fronts.

 I love how light and airy it makes the kitchen feel. Because of the style of the cabinet door, it was easy to cut out the middle part and take it to a glass shop to have these ridged glass inserts made.

The backs of the glass were glazed/glued in.

 I decided on little penny tile for the backsplash which I still love after four years.

Paint and hardware make SUCH a big difference!

I added drawer roll-out organizers to every bottom cupboard. My favorite feature!

Our kitchen and eating area is so open to our family room.

 It’s great for making dinner and watching the kids play in the family room.

Oh, did you notice that? If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you might have noticed I redid my kitchen island and I’m in love!

My kitchen is small but I’m so happy I have this big bay window.

Kitchen tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

All the light fixtures are from Restoration Hardware. You can read about my new chandy here.

Kitchen tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

We had beadboard and corbels added under our bar area instead of that weird wall!

Kitchen tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

 We added black granite to the bar as we weren’t able to match up the original granite.

Honestly, it’s not my fave to have mismatched granite but it’s always nice to have touches of black in every room.

 In this shot you can see my ‘famous’ turn-a-closet-into-mini-butler-pantry. Okay, not so famous but in my world it is.

Kitchen tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

You can see on the right side of this photo that we had a kitchen office installed.

They did a good job in matching the cupboard doors with the glass and added the same black granite.

kitchen-office-2

 We added the same black granite to the mini butler pantry.

And lastly, I love these 69 cent tea towels from Ikea. I have so many of them that they don’t fit in the kitchen drawers so they sit pretty in this wire basket.

Well, I hope you enjoyed my kitchen tour! Make sure you visit all the other wonderful kitchens!!

    Jamie, What a wonderful transformation. Lots of hard work has paid off for you. You made so many smart choices with the changes you made. I too had the over hang cabinet that came down, makes a huge difference, it is like our kitchens can take a deep breath. Thank you for sharing this part of your world with us,

    WOW!

    Boy oh BOY did I ever enjoy your kitchen tour, details and awesome Before and Afters – you have made a huge difference. You know it is funny, too, because your original was so nice………….but then seeing what you did took it so far into a new level, just WOW. Love every single decision. And I love mismatched granite – did it on purpose in my kitchen, actually.

    I have been so inspired with All Things Kitchen this week that I actually featured mine for the first time.

    It is a work in progress and needs updating, but that’s the fun of design – all in good time, huh?

    Have a wonderful weekend. ~Michele

    WOWZA. Your kitchen is gorgeous. I love the updates you made to the kitchen. The new knobs, in addition to painting the cabinets white, really look great. Were you able to hide the holes because you painted them (so you could fill the holes and paint over)? Every detail is crisp and bright and absolutely lovely.

    Hi!
    I just came here from Catch as Catch Can @MRL month long link up…
    I have been toying with the idea of painting my kitchen a linen white (right now it is partly YELLOW)
    AFTER reading your post and seeing your wonderful kitchen re-do; I really like the white!
    I’ve had a yellow kitchen for years, about 3 different shades whenever I’ve repainted.
    I think it’s time for white!
    great post. Love how your kitchen turned out.

    Hi, I love the way your breakfast bar ledge area turned out. I want to do something similar to my kitchen, so I have a few questions.
    First, how wide is the ledge and how wide is the overhang.
    Second, where did you get the brackets from, are they metal or wood and did you paint them.
    Third, how did you choose on the black granite and what exact color is it?

    I am going to have the same problem as you with the mismatched granite because we can’t find a match to what we have, so we are thinking with going with black as well.

    We were also thinking of changing our island to make it larger and in black as well to sort of blend in the kitchen bar.
    I am not sure how this will look, but I think your kitchen turned out fabulous!

      October 20, 2013 at 10:14 pm

      Hi Maryanne,
      Sorry it’s taken me so long to get back to you. Okay, I’m pretty sure our black granite is called Angola black. It’s polished, not honed, to try to match up to the existing granite that came with the house because that existing granite is polished. {Honed means not polished and it looks flat.} Polished is easier to clean but you do see fingerprints more.
      The ledge on the bar area is 15″ wide, 42 1/4″high, 8 ft long. In comparison, my regular counter height is 37″ high.
      I had someone make the brackets, he also added the granite, made the kitchen office and the built-in shelving in our living room. The granite is on top of some plywood {I looked underneath} and the brackets are made of wood. There’s a flat piece that measures 16″high and the bracket itself is actually 1 1/2″ wide. If you’d like me to take a close up photo, it might be easier to email it to you. My email is: [email protected]
      I think that black granite will pretty much go with any granite even white. I think the finish of the granite is most important as I mentioned above so it looks like there is some consistency, but then that’s just my opinion 😉
      Thanks for your comment!!
      Hugs,
      Jamie

    I love your beautiful kitchen. I have a few questions about your range. I’m guessing the range was there when you bought the house. Could you tell me the make of your kitchen range? How do you like it? It looks like a 30″ wide with five burners. Is there enough space to actually use all five at one time? Would you get a different one if money was not a consideration.

    Reply
    • Jamie says

      April 24, 2014 at 9:38 pm

      Hi Cindy,
      Yes, the range came with the house. It’s a DCS by Fisher & Paykel. It’s 30″ wide with 5 burners and yes you can use them all at the same time. Honestly, I only use the 4. If I use a large frying pan on a corner burner, then you can’t really use the middle burner. If you were to use 5 small or medium sized pots then you could use all 5 of them.
      It’s an amazing range! It’s incredibly powerful. I cook everything on low. I would say the only con is the oven isn’t very large because the gas cooktop is really large but other than that I have loved it.
      Hugs,
      Jamie

      The table and chairs we put in the space didn’t allow room for stools in the new space but we never missed them. We sold that house a few years ago 😉
      Hugs, Jamie

Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in common! They are all painted in the same paint color - White Dove OC-17 by @benjaminmoore. 💚 White is one of the hardest colors to pick for your home. It can pick up different surrounding colors which is why you can’t just Google a paint color and paint it on your walls. 💚 For my home, Simply White has worked the best. And White Dove is very similar. Swipe to see  some of these gorgeous rooms. 💚➡️ Check my blog post for tips on the best way to pick any paint colors for your home. Link is in stories and in highlights.

Making your own pillow covers is easier than you t Making your own pillow covers is easier than you think! I love changing out my throw cushions on my couch and just being able to store pillow covers is far easier than the whole pillow. 💚 I can only sew straight lines so if I can sew these, you can! It’s an envelope pillow pattern so no zippers or buttons involved. Swipe to see the back of the pillow (chair photo) ➡️ Check stories for the direct blog link and I’ll save it in highlights in my profile.

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you have lots of seasonal / holiday / decor items in your home? ➡️ Check out my blog posts on how to organize these items in IG stories. .

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .

I’m a sentimental purger! 😂 I feel most happy when everything has its place and I’ve kept a few meaningful things, but not too many. Just the right amount. It’s a very fine balance, isn’t it? Do you have a hard time with letting go of sentimental items? I have lots of tips of in my blog post ➡️ Check stories for the link and I’ll keep it in my organization highlight in my profile.
