Before and After: Shabby Chic to Modern Vintage Kitchen Makeover

Usually when you have a before and after post like this, the before pictures are of dull and uninspiring spaces. But here we have a kitchen that has a lot of charm and character even in the before stages. A kitchen that a lot of people would yearn for.

PASSPORT: Before and After Minnesota Farmhouse Cabin Renovation and Makeover Tour

Here are some ways this one-dimensional cabin was turned into a farmhouse style cottage wonderland:

The pine tongue and groove walls and ceilings were sprayed with Benjamin Moore’s Simply White in satin
Thick ceiling beams were added, to create a more cottage feel and add depth to the flat ceilings
There was a complete overhaul of the kitchen with new marble countertops, a farmhouse sink, and a DIY marble subway tile backsplash

The entire project took two years – Proverbs 31 Girl.

PASSPORT: Book Lovers Loft in Japan. Home Tour.

It is hard to believe that the before and after photos are of the same space. How did they get the extra height?

Features of this space include:

The industrial style, with bare raw concrete walls
The floor to ceiling book shelves that acts as a divider, separating the living space and the bedroom
And the ever extending bar slash kitchen countertop. Which doubles as a communal gathering area.
