Welcome to Amber’s kitchen. She writes, “Here’s my labor of love. My husband and I gutted our 1990′s kitchen with vinyl tiles, and laminate counters. He planned the layout and I chose the design.” The results are impressive. Here’s how it looked before:
Hard to believe it’s the same room, isn’t it? Here it is now:
Gorgeous! And I see no traces of the 1990s left, that’s for sure. Thanks, Amber!

one word – “BEAUTIFUL” . I’m green with envy.
This Kitchen is beautiful – I only wish there were some before pictures too!
Yes I agree with Kate! A before picture will add more woaws to this project!
Anyways, beautiful kitchen! congratulations!
ditto – it’s gorgeous but now I’m so curious to see what it was before the reno!
I would also love to see a before-more to get a feel for what the old floor plan looked like.
If she wants to send me before photos, I’ll post them!
That kitchen is exquisite! I think I need to be invited over for coffee to get a better feel for just how amazing it is
In the first picture, under the cabinets on the left, it looks like a little glass block window-what is that? There are too many gorgeous details to mention and not one trace of 90′s left for sure! Amazing!
Rosie, if you get invited, can I tag along? Please?
Wow! Absolutely amazing. Love that sink!
Very nice. I hope you enjoy it for many, many years!
Stunning!
Wow, beautiful kitchen!
I have only one word that will suffice for this kitchen:
WOW.
I would LOVE to know what color the cabinets are. I love they aren’t as bright “white” as the trim. I also love the little window in the back splash in photo 1.
Wow, this is beautiful! I’d love to move right in and start cooking.
A gorgeous kitchen!
Looking from the fabulous kitchen to the deck is still the 90′s. Scale of the interior furnishings is great & a nice mix. Why the clunky scale on the deck & rooms-to-go ‘look’?
Boards need to be stained for interior/exterior to flow into a vanishing threshold.
Perhaps that’s next. Would be another great before/after. They are a team of talent.

*PLONK*…..stunning…..amazing…..drop dead gorgeous.
Beautiful! I like the dark wood floor and island, they give warmth to balance all the gorgeous white. I also like that it is so open to the other areas.
Love the cabinetry!! The uppers, the glass, the furniture-style bases… I wish I had chosen that for my kitchen!
Wow!! I LOVE this kitchen!! I’m just curious to see the before pics

For all of you who asked, Amber just sent me a couple of before photos and I posted them. The transformation is pretty amazing, isn’t it?
I saw this kitchen on Cote De Texas. You should Amber her to share pictures of the rest of the house. It is gorgeous!
I’d love to see it!
wow – im in awe of this!! so great!
One word… Stunning! Love the farmhouse sink and the glass cabinetry. Everything is well planned and thought out.
Wow! Well that confirms that I need to paint my oak cabinets white ASAP!

I read Joni’s blog but missed that post. Thanks, Carey!
THANKS, CAREY….
WOW. WOW. WOW.
My dream kitchen. Going into the ol’ ‘permanent home’ inspiration file this one….
GORGEOUS!!!! I’m so impressed that they did this themselves! It’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! (Love those little windows above the countertop to the left of the stove.)
Night and day! What a difference! Love it.

What a great transformation! Gives me hope.
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful remodel. Great job!
What a gorgeous transformation. There’s nothing I dislike about Amber’s kitchen.
I love what the family has done to their whole house. They took every room into consideration and I love that. I think their house would be worth sharing on your blog.
Gorgeous, and great job! One question, can you find out who makes the double pendant above the island? Would love to put that in our new house! Thanks!!
It is a CLEMSON DOUBLE PENDANT light fixture made by Restoration Hardware. You can view it here: http://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod1157792
Thanks, Kim!!
Yes, thank you!!
So very beautiful! A truly amazing transformation!
Can I add one more Wow! ?? That is the most fabulous renovation ever. Everything about it is just perfect. Congratulations to Amber and her husband on a job well done.
It’s gorgeous!
GORGEOUS!
What a gorgeous and appealing difference!
That is one gorgeous kitchen! White is always my favorite color for this room!
Master, miracle, marvelous makeover!
Holy cow this is the most wow make over I’ve seen. Makes me want to rip everything put and start over. Gorgeous!!
Beautiful transformation! Yes, hard to believe it’s the same room.
This is one of my favorite kitchens ever,love everything about it! Lucky family to have this inviting space to enjoy everyday. This is so enjoyable, sharing the heart of the home.
That is one extreme makeover! Gorgeous.
We are gutting our and I will certainly use this as a source of inspiration.
Would you mind asking Amber if she has 10 foot ceilings please? I like the glass cabinets topped with solid, but not sure if it’ll work in my post-War home.
Thank you for considering!
Absolutely beautiful! I am in love with the posts in the barstool area.
Amber’s kitchen is beyond gorgeous!!!! It is truly STUNNING!
Such a fantastic transformation. Great layout and amazing choices for appliances, hardware, cabinets, window treatments, etc…. all in all, just a fabulous kitchen!!!
Absolutely stunning. One can see this is a kitchen for someone who cooks, aka a real kitchen. Those big drawers are the best addition to any kitchen. This is a really great before and after!
Love it
Fantastic kitchen-love everything! Can you tell me any information on the cabinet knobs and pulls? Thanks!
Can’t believe that’s the same kitchen. Simply stunning.
OMG, I LOVE THIS KITCHEN!!!!
I LOVE THIS KITCHEN!!!! I am thinking about remodeling my kitchen, so I have literally looked at hundreds of photos – but this one stopped me in my tracks!! There is just something about this space which I became immediately attracted to. I love everything about it – especially the fact that even though it is all white – it has a very warm and cozy feel to it. This is an amazing and extremely well thought out renovation – my absolute favorite so far!!!
AMAZING!! Incredible job
I have been drooling over this kitchen! Oh how I wish our remodel turns out with this same feeling. Great inspiration!
