A homeowner wanted to update her kitchen. First she knocks a hole through the cabinets, but then she does THIS! - This transformation is UNBELIEVABLE! I was tired of the outdated look of my soffits, after scouring the web for ideas I came up with these.

Yesterday I shared the French country breakfast room and a peek at the fancy crown molding that was added at the ceiling which of course goes all the way around the kitchen, too. We had no idea how that was going to look until the carpenters started installing it. Let me just say, wow, what a difference that made! Today I'm sharing my new kitchen that is ready for Christmas.

When it came to our kitchen renovation, we had no idea what was behind our soffits. I debated whether or not I should remove them or somehow just work with…

Before AFTER When we first moved into our home we had the builders add a drywall soffit above all the cabinetry with plans that we would one day add crown and other trim work to it. While we had the dining room finish work done we had them complete the kitchen soffit as well. More Before's It is 3 pieces of trim - crown, a baseboard hung upside down, and pin mold at the bottom of the soffit. We had them trim out the windows as well. DONE!!! By the Way - The new white leather barstools from…

I know you’re gonna love this one. ;-)

So when we moved into our home I was less than satisfied with our playroom door. It was lacking in detail and character so I was excited to have an easy fix with this new product "overlays." Have you heard of them? Before After So they are lightweight, decorative fretwork panels that come in several sizes and patterns. I first saw them on Pinterest.
