She's right. Those cabinets and paint had to go. So did the popcorn ceiling and the flooring but it's beautiful now. 😍

Melissa explains that the kitchen cabinets and four layers of flooring were outdated and she wanted something fresh and beautiful for her and her family.

It took her four months, but she finally managed to create the space she had dreamed of.

She made no compromises on design.

She started by taking down all of the cabinets hanging on the walls, removing the drawers, and even the counter and the sink.

This gave her the opportunity to have plenty of space to work.

She’s redesigning her kitchen from scratch.

What was extra special about this DIY project is that she even removed a door to prevent the kitchen from being used as a walkway.

After removing the door, she had to create a wall where one had never been.

Although she admits it was quite intimidating, after some research, she found out how she could pull off that project on her own.

Once the door was gone, she had extra wall space for shelves and anything she really needed.

Next, she repurposed the cabinets.

She turned some of them into a banquette bench.

This created a cozy corner for having meals or a coffee while creating extra storage space without anyone being any the wiser.

She had a vision for the remaining cabinets.

She rearranged and painted them so that they could fit perfectly into the design that she had in mind.

Next was the flooring.

Initially, she had removed layers of the old flooring to make sure the doors would still open and close without a problem.

She installed the laminated, waterproof planks, and this change made all the difference in the room.

She did everything herself.

She also arranged the floating shelves and made a nice hutch from what used to be a living room bookcase, and all these changes made the kitchen look unique.

She painted the walls, had the range hood installed by an electrician, and then moved on to the fridge.

This wasn’t an easy task either. She used an old fridge, which she remodeled completely on the outside, and is hoping it’ll work until she finds another fridge.

The end result is astonishing.

The kitchen is open, modern, and elegant all while being practical at the same time.

See Melissa take this kitchen from loud to lovely in the video below!
