Coastal Kitchen Makeover - The Complete Before + After

We are about to get a huge snowstorm here so what better time to start dreaming of the beach? Perfect timing to share the coastal kitchen before and afters! I know, I know - this is the slowest quick renovation in the history of time but I think it was worth it.  So much brighter, beachy (without being too over the top thematic) and functional. This coastal kitchen makeover made this kitchen much brighter, beachy (without being too over the top thematic) and functional. You have already seen most of the work in prior posts which you can access at the end of this post, but it was time to do a complete post with sources.

As you might remember, we wanted to keep the renovation tab down so we decided to keep all the plumbing exactly as is. The only real structural change to the room was tearing down half the closet and opening up the space on the left. Essentially we made a galley kitchen into a L-shape – giving us more counter space, a more open feel to the room and allowing the light from the kitchen window to spill into the rest of the apartment. After that it was just finishing work. We went with stock cabinetry and affordable tile flooring to offset the splurge of the marble countertop. The room is so much more open and clean looking now – I really love how it all turned out.

It does need a few more accessories (perhaps a bigger shell or wood bowl under the jellyfish print?) and some artwork in the seating area (maybe a new whale chalkboard or some old window art?).  I haven't found just the right thing but I'll stumble upon something eventually.

  3. I would make one change - I would move the refrigerator door handle to the other side (if possible) so it would open into the work area instead of the eat-in area. This is a beautiful kitchen!

  8. I purchased a light from Pier 1 that reminds me of yours (but not as grand) I think that's why I was drawn to it. I also love the corbels. Such great ideas from reasonable sources allowing for splurges. Thanks for the inspiration.

  14. I am looking for affordable cabinets in 27" width and the cabinets you used come in that option. Are you happy with the quality? I want to do something similar - white cabinets with Carrera marble. Your kitchen looks great!
