Well, after a long journey through another home renovation, I’m extremely happy to say my kitchen overhaul is officially OVER! And boy am I happy with the outcome.
When I started out, I wanted to take my small, dated, but sunshiny-bright kitchen and make it look fresh, clean and modern. I also wanted it to fit in with the age of my home (75 years old!) and for it to not look too weird when I added in a few of my 60s-style retro pieces. It’s just how I hoped it would be. Gotta love when a plan comes together.
Take a look at the “before” pics.
In case you’re wondering, my designer was Olenka Antymniuk and my contractor was Aime Talbot of Custom Edge Construction. Aime and his team are wonderful to work with and their attention to detail was top notch. Aime never gave me that look (you know, the one that says “You’ve got to be @#*!ing kidding me?!”) Big thanks to them!
Plan and great taste came together and produced a masterfully crafted beauty. It’s amazing!
Thanks, CI! Couldn’t have been completed without your help! 🙂
It is so nice! What is the name/brand of the paint colour you used?
It’s Blue Grass by Benjamin Moore. Great colour. Looks good in all light.
Love love it!!! I just blogged about my reno…seems we have similar tastes 😉
lovely kitchen, I love the dining table and the seats!!
Thanks so much for the lovely compliment, Vickie! 🙂
I love what you’ve done with this space! I am planning a kitchen reno myself and someone recommended Olenka as a designer. I would love to hear what you have to say about working with her.
Olenka was great! We had very similar ideas for the kitchen, which made us work really well together. She also did the interior design for my mom’s house and it looks amazing and it is a completely different style than mine. My mom adored her.
Plus she always wore fabulous shoes! 🙂
Oh, and thanks so much for the lovely compliments! I’m in love with my new kitchen.
Do you have contact info for Olenka? Either email or phone #?
Hi Pen, you can email o.olenka@shaw.ca.
Hello Kirsten! Very nice look!!!!
Planing reno my kitchen. Did Olenka charge a lot for her service?
Thank you!
Hi Sarah, sorry for late reply. I didn’t get a large charge from Olenka, but my kitchen redo was quite simple, so she only did a few hours with me.
