My first inclination was to title this post Kitchen Krushes…because I love a good alliteration…but the Journalism/English major in me just couldn’t do it! (I can, obviously, tolerate a run-on sentence!) Kitchen renovations have been a hot topic around here, and Blogland, and I wanted to share some of my favorite makeovers of late.
Following along with these renovations was so motivating when we were tackling our own. Overhauling a Kitchen can be scary, and I found reassurance in watching these girls create their own dream space. And what’s even cooler, is I know each of these girls personally…may have even shared a bed with a few! #heynow
You may recognize a few…but you’ll definitely want to click over to to see each of the jaw-dropping Before & Afters!

And of course I’m pretty smitten with our own Kitchen Renovation! There were lots of questions left on both the Kitchen Reveal and Kitchen Breakdown posts, so be sure to check back in those comments for all the answers.
I never grow tired of seeing glorious Kitchens. What room is your favorite kind of eye-candy?
Those are all reallllllllllllly good…but yours is still my fav!!!!
I am drooooling over here. All so lovely and dreamy.
This is all sorts of goodness. We are in the midst of a kitchen renovation right now ourselves. If we could just get countertops and running water in the kitchen I would be a happy camper.
Yes, running water does come in handy! xo
Those are all crush-worthy; I especially love the unique lighting fixtures! And thank you for keeping the "C" in crush! Run-on sentences and … (in my case) are one thing, but the wrong letter in names and titles hurts this English major's heart.
Right?! I wrote the title Kitchen Krushes, and it just kept nagging at me…it must have been one of my old professors whispering in my ear! 😉
We just started a mini kitchen Reno but I keep adding to my must have lust. This post is feeding my addiction.
So exciting, Crystal…can't wait to see what magic you weave!! xo
These are beautiful! Clearly there's a white cabinet trend going on. I'm about to tackle my own kitchen and would love to paint our cabinets white, but after just leaving a home with white cabinets and a house of boys, I found myself always having to wipe smudges and spills and fingerprints off of cabinets – so annoying! Do others have this problem or is there a secret no-mark white paint out there that keeps cabinets clean despite grubby hands?
I feel you on this! I think unless you have dark cabinets, you'll always see grubby prints…but even then, you'll see filmy ones. We are avid hand-washers before even coming in the Kitchen, so that helps…and I'm a huge fan of the Mr. Clean sponges…those get all the fingerprints!
Thanks for your reply! And glad to hear I'm not the only one suffering from this! Between living in the woods, having chickens and pigs, and having a farmer for husband, this might be a never ending battle 🙂
Thank you Cassie!! It's such an honor to be included with all those beautiful kitchens and my fave bloggers as well!
You guys did an amazing job…I'm smitten with your entire house!!
Love all of these kitchens!! I love a nice big bright open kitchen area, since it's one of our favorite places to be, but ours is so small and cramped.

I actually really dislike all of them. I'm noticing everything thats popular lately I can't stand. The Chronicles of Home is probably my favorite and the one with the white tile/dark grout (why?!?!?!) is my least fave.
thank you for including me, my dear!!!!! <3 you!
I have major kitchen envy now! Those gorgeous marble islands are killing me–add this to my "dream house" list 🙂
Thanks so much for including my kitchen! I just saw Chris loves Julia's kitchen reveal and it's pretty awesome too. Did you see it?
Cassie, Thanks for all these great kitchens. I Love that curtain in cuckoo for Design's Kitchen. They were all fabulous. I love kitchens but I also love living rooms. You can really tell someone's style by their living room.

Gah, what is it about a kitchen that draws you right in? These are all incredible!
Well if this hasn't motivated me to finally finish up my kitchen I don't know what will! Stools being delivered next week, rug shortly after that, and maaaaybe the new range soon (can you call and talk to my husband, please?) and then I can finally get some proper "after" pictures. Thanks so much for including my "middle" photo with all this beautiful inspiration 🙂 xoxo
Cassie, you're just the sweetest! Thanks for the shoutout! xx
I love all these kitchens, you have really set out the fundamental concepts of good kitchen style.
Thanks for these outstanding pictures . These are really beautiful. thanks for sharing with us
I’d love to know the name of the flowery looking tile in the two tone kitchen….
They are all so PRETTY!
