"I'm so tired of my dark, dingy kitchen!"
How many of you have said something similar about your kitchen? This was a problem that one of my e-design and interior decorating clients was recently facing. And, she wasn't wrong. But, we quickly turned her kitchen into the bright and airy area it was always meant to be!
Before
With the dark floors, dark cabinets and brown paint on the walls, this space felt super small and heavy.
Design
To brighten up this kitchen, I suggested a new coat of paint for the cabinets, new light fixtures, new countertops and hardware for the cabinets. I also thought it would be a fun feature to add a faux brick wallpaper to add a pop of an unexpected texture on one of the vaulted walls.
We also wanted a focal point in the kitchen. We found a really unique backsplash, or as I like to call it "the jewelry of the kitchen!"
The Results!
Bringing this design together was a team effort! While the countertops and backsplash were new, we saved a lot in our budget by repainting the cabinets. My clients decided not to tackle this themselves and instead hired a company to take care of the cabinets, repainting the ceiling, and hanging the featured brick wallpaper. They weren't totally happy with us when we told them where we wanted it...it was a challenge navigating over the stairs!
With my client being local, we were able to shop for a few things together but, we did find most of the items online. The lighting, cabinet hardware, and bar stools were from Wayfair and the window shade we found from Amazon. I also found a local company that had great, affordable decor that we shopped from -- local and affordable? Sold!
In the initial designs, I suggested two possible countertop options that could work in the new kitchen. We ended up going with the white countertops which turned out fabulous with the new bar stools and painted cabinets.
And can we take a moment to appreciate this great backsplash?
This kitchen turned out fabulous. Even in the pictures, you can see how much brighter and larger the kitchen looks. I'm so happy I could help this client take this kitchen from "dark and dingy" to "bright and airy!"

As a seasoned cleaner, I've learned that keeping a house clean is a lot like maintaining a well-oiled machine. The key is consistency. One trick I swear by is to always leave a room cleaner than you found it. This means taking a few moments to pick up any stray items, wipe down surfaces, and ensure everything is in its place before you leave. It’s the little things that add up and make a big difference over time. When it comes to those big cleaning jobs, like moving out, it's essential to call in the experts. End of tenancy cleaning is a task that can make or break getting your deposit back. Trust me, I've seen it all. For a…
