Hoarder House Kitchen Transformation

It has taken way too long, but I am finally bringing you the official ‘after photos’ for our Hoarder House kitchen! As a refresher, here are all the posts talking about our kitchen reno:

• Picking out Kitchen Cabinets
• Kitchen Layout
• November Happennings
• Video Update
• Kitchen Hardware
• Kitchen Sources

And of course, an after always needs a good before… So here are the before photos of our kitchen:

Without a doubt this was the grossest kitchen I have ever experienced in my life. This was the first demo project after we bought the house. We tore the kitchen out before our estate sales even started.

The dishwasher was stuffed full of unused cleaning supplies, the sink was rusted out after years without softened water. There were dead mice abundant, and too many vintage stoves.

But, the placement in the house is just perfect, slightly tucked away yet still very much in the center. With abundant lighting and tall ceilings. This kitchen was gross, but the potential was undeniable. And, I am proud to say that we have breathed new life into it….

A huge thanks to Rilea Petersen who took these amazing photos! Check out her work on instagram.

Look how happy I am to be cooking in a finished kitchen!! Ha. But seriously, it had been a long time since I have had a complete kitchen. We were in renovation mode so long on our last kitchen that we hardly got to enjoy it before we sold the house.

It’s hard to know what to talk about because there are so many little details I love about this kitchen. I will do a breakdown post soon to discuss each element in the kitchen, but for now I just had to get these pictures up.

I love seeing before and after posts, they are so encouraging when you are in the trenches of renovation. We are just completing the demo phase of our first flip house, so it’s exciting to think that the transformation there will be just as dramatic and satisfying.
