my new favorite makeover

Genius Idea: Raise floating box cabinets to the ceiling with a trim of molding, and insert a shelf for everyday items.  This whole kitchen gives me hope as we go house-hunting this weekend to attack the scary, old kitchens we will find.

{Before, with claustrophobia-inducing cabinets}

{Loving the new wall cutout}

{Love the wood floors and cabinet paint choices}

{Essentials within reach}

{Microwave above the refrigerator!}
