The Kitchen at 5th Place - Makeover Photos!

Energetic and inspired....that's the way I feel these days! Hubby and I indulged and took a week off. Actually, we had planned to take 2 weeks, but by the end of week 1, I was so refreshed that inspiration lay everywhere! So, we put the energy and inspiration to good use and went to work on 5th Place!

Hubby didn't complain too much, although I did hear muttering yesterday that sounded like, "just how many projects can we cram into a day off?"  No doubt he must love me because I know that I wear him out at times!

I'm very pleased with what we've accomplished over the past week....so many "after" shots to share that I don't even know where to start! We built a sidewalk, an office / guest bedroom, finished the master bedroom, the living room, and the kitchen details! It's been a very full week indeed!

These are all photos of the completed kitchen at 5th Place that are long overdue.  See my previous post for the first leg of this project.

Check out the transformation!

I'm tickled yellow with Spring bursting out everywhere!

These tulip bulbs just astounded me.  We used them at the Shoppe during the past First Monday show and they couldn't have been more than a couple of inches tall.  I placed them in the kitchen window and they have gone crazy!  Don't you love their new home?  These chalkboard bins work perfectly ....aren't they fun?

Cafe de 5.  This handpainted project took an afternoon to complete and added a personal touch that is packed with personality.  I love the way it revved up the tiny kitchen!

I wasn't crazy about the view of the master bedroom door so I painted it with chalkboard paint.  Now, it not only gives a bit of depth to the corner, it's adds fun functionality too! 

This corner definitely needed some extra light and hubby was sweet enough to hang a couple mercury pendant lights ...love love love it!

This fabulous oversized clock is the perfect pop of energy for this corner and the antique metal table (a Roundtop find from our road trip last year) was exactly what the small area needed. 

One of my favorite things at the Shoppe right now are these silverware molds....they are fabulous and were a perfect compliment for this little nook.

I've been collecting vintage Sherbert / Sundae dishes for years but love them far more dancing on the bottle drying rack instead of sleeping on a shelf. 

The island was a find from Marcie and Mayron of Unique Unique Designs.

So was this great ironstone platter.

I love these vintage inspired faux foil wrapped bunnies...they are one of my favorite Easter arrivals at the Shoppe. 

Can't get enough of Tulips and aged Ironstone!

The container for the beautiful Iberis is a wicker cake stand flipped upside down.  I heard about these flowering plants on Martha Stewart's show a long while back....they are supposed to be easy to grow.  I love the freshness they bring to the counter.

 

I love the crown dishes from the Shoppe....I think they are my favorites we've ever carried!

A burlap floor cloth was used for the window treatment. I can't decide if I like them better on windows or floors....which do you like better?

I can't possibly close without "formal" before and after photos.  Take a look...

You can read more about this kitchen makeover here.  Would you say we've brought this little kitchen a long way?  I'd love to hear your thoughts!

P.S I've got another room makeover post almost ready to go.....get ready for lots more photos!
