{Home Tour} Kitchen

Good morning, friends! It came to my attention last week that it's been quite some time since I've shared photos of our home. The last time I shared photos was in this post and can I just say, our house has changed quite a bit since then. So over the next couple of weeks I thought it would be fun to share some of the changes we've made over the last couple of years. So without further ado, today I'd like to share our kitchen with you. 
When we first moved in, this space had wallpaper and ugly brick colored tile (refer to old home tour). Two years ago, while on vacation, my wonderful parents came over and ripped down the wallpaper for us. Thanks Mom and Dad!  Afterwards, we had the walls painted Baltimore Orieles by Valspar and had a family friend come in and add crown molding to the top of the kitchen. This past spring, we hired my cousin to come in and replace that ugly brick colored tile with these gorgeous handscraped hardwoods. The end result has my heart fluttering. 

 

For now, this room is finished. At some point, we have plans to replace the light fixture in the kitchen with a lantern style chandelier in a bronze finish. I've also been debating whether or not to have our cabinets painted white but with the black appliances, I just can't decide. Thoughts ladies?
