I’m super excited to share my white and grey kitchen makeover (with pops of color too) with you today!
It’s been a little over a year since we moved in, so I thought it was about time I posted an update and a little tour. You may remember seeing the house tour, but I’ll share a before pic in case you don’t remember what it looked like when we bought it. I’ll share a source list at the bottom too, if you’re wondering where I got things from or paint colors.
It seems like I just shared my last kitchen makeover from my old house. Time is flying!
Ready for the before?! This is a pic from when we toured the house. It definitely was not in bad shape, but lacking personality for sure.
Here’s the after! What a difference! I am so in LOVE with all the white! Luckily there was already white cabinets, but with the yellow paint behind it, it just made everything feel darker.
So let’s take a tour, shall we?! I’ll show you what we did!
Before we moved in we had our floors replaced, then we did everything else about 6 months later. We basically painted all the walls, added beadboard and trim around the island (let me know if you want a tutorial) and then had the countertops and tile put in. I really wanted to go with marble, but after doing some research decided quartz would be better with kids. It looks really similar and holds up WAY better. You can’t scratch these countertops. They are awesome! My son helped me put in all the new knobs and boy does that make a difference! I seriously love how it all came together.
Still so in love this kitchen art too. It makes me happy every time I walk in the kitchen. You can download the free printable here.
This cabinet (from ikea) also makes my heart pitter patter. I am seriously obsessed with vintage pyrex…so here’s where I store a few of my favorite dishes and cake stands.
I’ve been dreaming about a farmhome sink for awhile now, so I was so happy to put one of these in our home. We went with the whitehaven self-trimming farmhouse sink from Kohler because it 1. it is gorgeous and 2. it has the self-trimming feature. This allowed us to remove the top panel and then slide the sink right in. A few of the other ones we looked at, we would have had to buy a whole new cabinet. I seriously LOVE this sink! Worth every penny!
I sort of have a thing for cake stands and soaps. They just go together, don’t they?! I had these in my last kitchen, so thought I would have them here too.
Right before I started taking pictures of the kitchen, I thought it would be a good idea to take off these cabinet doors. I felt like it would open the space a little more and add some personality to the room. I’m so glad I did! I love the look! Such a cheap and easy way to transform a room.
I had to do some serious organizing in this cupboard. You do not want to see the before pic on this one. ha! I love that all my cookbooks are color coordinated now. Hopefully, I’ll keep them this organized now that the doors are off. ;)
We also removed the giant white square light and installed these awesome globe lights I found at Shades of Light! I also found the edison light bulbs to put inside and love the look. These lights are always the first thing people comment on when they walk in.
Here’s the kitchen table we built (tutorial here) with the fun new chandelier I found on sale at Pottery Barn. The table has held up so well! It definitely has some extra dings and scratches, but I think it gives it character.
I found that awesome gumball machine from a yard sale for $5! Crazy, right?! It is so fun! And I rarely keep gumballs in there… but it is a fun piece of decor. I also love that fun pie sign I found at World Market. My husband was joking with me that it wasn’t true. Let’s be honest… I probably only bake pies twice a year …BUT I am usually baking/cooking SOMETHING daily. ;)
This girl loves to help me bake!
I love these big clear jars and have several of them throughout my house!
And how adorable is this spoon holder? I may be a tiny bit obsessed with mason jars too. ;)
One of my favorite (and useful) pieces of decor is my cupcake liner jar. It adds such a fun pop of color to my kitchen.

This is the first time I’ve wrote a comment….ever! But I love everything you did! So beautiful! Great job!
Thank you so much Donna! :)
Love what you did! Could you tell me the width of your kitchen pretty please? Trying to see if we have room to do this layout in a 12×18 kitchen. Thanks!
Love your kitchen! I am in the middle of a kitchen reno and I have been looking for the perfect grey subway tile. I absolutely love the one you picked for your space! Do you have the name/manufacturer/color of it by any chance? Thank you! :)
Hi Lauren! I got my tile from a local tile shop. It was a gray glass tile, but I’m unsure of the other information. I’m sorry! :)
How did I miss this post. It’s gorgeous! I would love to have a kitchen like this. So bright and fresh! Great job.
Hi! I love everything about your kitchen! It is exactly what I would like to do! Could you please send me the tutorial for your beadboard and trim island? It looks amazing!
I was wondering if you could tell us the dimensions of this kitchen space. It looks very similar to how my husband and I have considered laying out our kitchen as we renovate and we are looking for inspiration photos!
Hi, I was wondering what brand and color that your dutch oven that sits on the stove is? You have a beautiful house!!
Absolutely beautiful kitchen! I would love to know the brand and color of your dutch oven sitting on the stove and the color of your Kitchen Aid Mixer. They are such pretty, happy colors! Thank you!!
WOW!!! I love it all Jam!!! You did a fantastic job!!! xoxo
I absolutely love your kitchen! I was wondering
what brand and color is your dutch oven that is on your stove and the color of the Kitchen Aid mixer is. They are so pretty! Thank you!
Your kitchen is absolutely beautiful!! I would live to know the brand and color of your dutch oven that is on the stove and the color of your Kitchen Aid mixer. Thank you!
Thank you so much Stacy! Of course…my dutch oven is Le Creuset in Caribbean and my kitchen aid is Aqua Sky. :)
What a gorgeous after!! It’s so much brighter and it even looks bigger! I love all the pops of color everywhere!
Thanks so much Selene! I am really happy with how it turned out! :)
Love! The grey and white is the perfect backdrop for all of the lovely pops of color throughout. Just beautiful! I HAVE to get those lights!
Thank you so much Jeanie! The lights are one of my favorite parts. :)
How can I see the tutorial on the headboard and trim that you did on the island?
Hi Jannessa! I’m sorry, I didn’t do a tutorial for the headboard and trim!
Wow! I have followed your blog for a long time now, but this is my first time commenting :) I LOVE your kitchen. I am really amazed by how much you transformed the space without changing your cabinets! I recently painted my outdated oak cabinets that were in good shape a light gray color and changed the hardware. I am so glad I did not rip the cabinets out–they turned out great! ADORE your back splash and your open cabinets–what a great idea to pop some doors off and leave them open!
Your comment made my day Tasha, thanks so much! I was really happy that we didn’t rip out our cabinets too! It’s amazing what painting and changing the hardware can do for a kitchen. :)
I love, love, love your kitchen ! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! Xo
Loooove it! Turned out fabulous!! Great job, girl!! XO
This is seriously my dream kitchen! I love everything about it!!!
