To paint a before picture, my old kitchen was pretty hideous. It wasn’t original, but was upgraded in the early ’90s by a flipper and had the ubiquitous black granite counters, brown wood cabinets, and ugly builder-grade tile. Add to that some interesting lighting choices made by the previous owner. In short, it needed help. Sadly, a larger renovation was not in the cards. I knew I couldn’t live with the kitchen the way it was, though, so it was time to get creative.
