Hello Reader,

Boo! Picking up this before & after series, with one of my all time favorite transformation projects! In my last home (my first one post-divorce), I was facing a little kitchen and an even smaller budget...

But I somehow turned it into a space I loved! For me, painting the cabinets black was everything. Total game changer.

Of course, the signature shelves stole the show but the black cabinets completely took the space to the next level.

Check out the before & after photos, read the full project article, and scroll down for all the kitchen sources!

BEFORE:

This space was cute, but I wanted more contrast, light, and modern vibes.

I go through all the changes in my article, but painting these orangey oak cabinets was top of the list!

AFTER

While there were more aspects in this spaces I wish I could've done, the neutral black cabinets made my heart happy. ๐Ÿ–ค

Click above for all the details and more photos. Below, you'll find a quick link to sources.


I'd love to hear your thoughts on this before & after series!

Making Spaces allisajacobs.com Hello Reader, When it comes to the days of home decor, gone are the days of matchy matchy. This is me waving so long, farewell, adieu. Few things make me happier than this. It's about darn time to embrace layering, authenticity, and depth. Ok, sounds great but what about when it comes to hardware finishes? Can you really mix these? Yes, yes, and yes. Bathroom Hardware: This is a bathroom space I completely remodeled down to the studs. I layered black along with...
