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.

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.

All the details are below (or at least as much as I could remember) but if I missed anything or you just have random question, do not hesitate to ask.

it's glorious! that light fixture just takes the cake for me.
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful! I can imagine you're super ready for summer. :) Stay warm the next few days...
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteGood point. I have to see if I can flip it.
DeleteThat looks amazing! What a transformation
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! I would have never thought of the refrigerator suggestion, but that would make things easier on you. Stay safe in the snow storm!
ReplyDeleteBE-U-TI-FUL! The backsplash is especially striking. The kitchen is sleek and comfortable. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLove how this turned out. It feels perfect for a beach house and I love that the jellyfish art found a home!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThe whole place looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done and such a far cry from what was originally there. Well done Mrs. L.
ReplyDeleteI remember your terrific jellyfish pictures. This one really is a perfect fit in its starring role here. Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic transformation! I especially love how clean and open it feels. The hex backsplash is gorgeous and the light fixture is such a unique, memorable piece.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LOVE LOVE how your kitchen turned out. In our next house I'm planning to splurge on marble too! :)
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! Those countertops - swoon!
