Kitchen Makeover: A True Transformation!
We all love a good makeover, right?! It's just so fascinating to see how something can go from ugly and dated to shiny and new, whether it be an entire home, room or piece of furniture. This kitchen makeover is one of the best transformations I've seen in a while. It was designed by Style at Home editor-in-chief, Erin McLaughlin. She took the cluttered, claustrophobic kitchen with patterned wallpaper, brown wood cabinets and dingy ivory accents, and breathed new life into it. Focusing on white as the main color, Erin incorporated soft shades of watery blues to add contrast and keep the space from feeling too stark. What do you think? It's hard to believe that the before and after photos are of the same space! Click here to view the entire kitchen and read up on exactly how she transformed it.

The wall color give some sense of purity and cleanliness in the kitchen while other colors like the blue one and that of the flowers give accent to the over all look of the kitchen. Im always checking your blog and it inspires me to always clean my room. Followed you here!

What are the blue doors - acrylic, zenolite, glass? Are they purchased ready made like that - what's the source? Or were they added to the doors after?
