Moving to the White Side…Kitchen Reno

So, I’ve been itching to lighten up my kitchen ever since we moved into our home.  There was nothing wrong with it.  It was done beautifully, and Mr. B was against the change up from the start with the classic, “why do you have to change something that already looks great?!”  And he was right… But then I had to remind him who he was married to, and that I can’t sit still, and that I always have to find new projects and change things up! 😬 

Here’s a little glimpse at the before:   
Honestly, there is not much wrong with this space. Knotty alder, black distressed cabinets, granite… It really is lovely… But… I’m ready to move to the white side.  I know it’ll open up the space and bring in the light.  So, the change is coming!
