You may remember reading that we’re in the process of a big kitchen renovation at our house. Like any big project, this one has had its ups and downs, but overall things are coming together and I’m getting excited to show you our progress. I’m far from being ready to post a big reaveal ful of “after” pictures, yet, but I have some crazy good kitchens for you to look at, while we’re in the thick of “during”.
The kitchens that I picked to feature today all have one thing in common: DIY. The homeowners who live and cook in these kitchens did either some or all of the work to take their kitchens from drab to fab. Some of them completed every task from demo to electrical installation, while others designed their new kitchen themselves and let a pro take over from there. Regardless, all of the kitchens below used DIY spirit and tons of creativity to produce gorgeous new spaces. Fair warning: make sure you give yourself plenty of time to click on the links below each of the pictured kitchens so you can see what they looked like before–because the only way to truly appreciate a good makeover is to see how far it came!
