When we bought this house in 2005, the kitchen was dark and felt a little like a cave. It was big and everything worked so we put it on the to-do list but it came after remodeling the bathrooms and bedrooms.
You can see in the before-before pictures that the cabinets were really dark. This was after the doors were taken off. The refrigerator didn't fit in the kitchen so anytime we wanted anything we had to go to the entry (which is probably even stranger but it worked for us).
We exhausted ourselves and our resources before we got to the kitchen during our first round of remodeling back in 2005 so we opted to paint it to spruce it up a bit.
It worked!
This is the kitchen today. This is the south wall complete with my 2 burner cooktop and 35 year old oven. So retro, yes?
This is the west wall. We recently had a Solatube installed, giving us some much needed natural light.
This is the north wall. It is very cluttered with food on the left (the existing pantry is not particularly functional) and desk/school/life stuff on the right.
Here we go! This is our first indoor remodeling project since we moved back in 2008. I'm a little nervous but I know it will be amazing in the end. Right?

Great flashback pictures!! You'll do a great job with it, just as you do anything you set out to accomplish.
