Three Renovations: Kitchen, Pantry and Stairway! Welcome to the 90th Metamorphosis Monday!

I love it when readers of BNOTP share pics of recent renovations, because I get to share them with you! :) Brenda, a reader of BNOTP lives in this adorable house with a wrap-around front porch. It may look small from these pics...but it has 6 bedrooms!



When Brenda and her hubby moved into their home, they knew it would need some serious updating. They had just retired and were up for the challenge. Today, I'm sharing Brenda's kitchen and pantry renovation along with a big change she made to her front staircase.


Here's a Before pic of one part of Brenda's kitchen....



And, here's the after: Wow! Yes, the stove is in the same place. The cabinets above were removed and a pot rack was hung in their place. Really opened up this area, didn't it.



Another Before pic...



And the After...
Brenda has two small dishwashers as opposed to one large one, enabling her to run a small load when needed. Perfect solution for empty nesters or couples where it may take a while to fill up a whole dishwasher. Love this idea!



Love the blue and white color scheme Brenda chose for her kitchen...such a classic combination.



In this remodel, Brenda had her cabinets refaced...



They had some additional cabinetry built, as well.



Some of the cabinets were redesigned with drawers inside.



Pretty neat how they look like regular cabinets on the outside.


See the open doorway...that used to be Brenda's pantry.



After: Brenda's husband built lots of additional storage inside. Notice the other changes made to this side of the kitchen...



The cute door was ordered from The Home Depot.





A peek inside...



Stairway Renovation:
Brenda's home had a closed in staircase originally...very typical for the period her home was built.



They completely re-did it removing the old staircase and putting in a new one, opening it up on both sides. Isn't it lovely decorated for Christmas?!


Brenda, thanks so much for sharing your beautiful kitchen, pantry and stairway metamorphosis with us today! I know it will prove helpful for folks who are contemplating similar renovations.
