Extreme Kitchen Renovation

After 5 months of renovating our outdated, divided kitchen and dining area we are finally finished! The goal was to design a French Provincial eat-in style kitchen that we craved to spend time in. Our must-haves were to make the space feel larger, increase the storage & countertop space, optimize the natural sunlight and carry the same French Provincial style into this part of the house.

We could not be happier with how our kitchen design came together and you can watch exactly how we did it in my 10 Episode series on YouTube!
