How to Remodel a Conventional Kitchen into a Modern One

Walking the Talk with Ikea Kitchen Design & Installation
We designed & installed our own kitchen last November. The old one was 14 years old, and I needed an Ikea kitchen to use & show off. So here it is, with custom wall cabinet doors, a wine cubby, some floating shelves & some really happy owners.
Kitchen: Before
Cramped. Dead end. Dark. Raised panel tiredness. Not inviting. Small. Insanity provoking.
Kitchen: After
Open circulation. Well lit. Ample storage. Energy Star appliances. Green finishes. Easy to use, even with multiple people, dogs & cats. Great kitchen design for parties.
The Design: Before – After Modern Kitchen
I can say firsthand that living in & using this kitchen daily for 6 months now has been a pleasure, to say the least. It’s modern, usable, easy on the eyes, and the oven & dishwasher doors no longer hit each other.
If you’re ready for a modern kitchen, we’re ready for you.

Nice!
I especially like the small details – the dropped open shelving at the end of the range run, and that lovely soffit detail for the decorating space.
Must be a huge difference in working in that kitchen…
Thanks, Kelly! Yes – it’s a night & day difference.
Girl, wow!
Really great use of just about everything!
I found you from the comment on the Ikea post… Love Ikea cabinetry. Kudossssss…..
