Check out these before and after pictures of my kitchen eating area that I updated into the perfect kitchen nook!
Today I’m going to show you before and after pictures of our kitchen eating area. I turned it into a cozy eating nook!
Warning: the photos you are about to see are very 80s.
I took these photos when I first toured the house.
BEFORE
There was a massive chandelier in here that just didn’t fit. Also the laminate flooring, the paint color, everything was wrong! The previous owners didn’t even have window coverings.
AFTER
I had made the ticking and toile curtains.
The table was a Craigslist find and the chairs are from Ikea.
The previous owners had a chair rail and wallpaper on the bottom half of the wall. We removed the wallpaper and added beadboard and bigger trim. We also added a new rustic farmhouse light fixture.
I made the chalkboard as well. Just a big old frame with a piece of MDF covered in chalkboard paint!
I love the rustic farmhouse feel in our new kitchen eating area!
UPDATE:
I have a new kitchen light fixture!
