My Favorite Room.....Remondelando la casa

Hi there all of you Savvy Southern Style readers! My name is Cristina and I blog over at Remodelando la casa. I'm so thrilled to be a part of Kim's "My Favorite Room" series.

After the initial excitement when Kim invited me, my first thought was...

Of course the kitchen 

But then, I kept on thinking on how this room has been seen "everywhere", and how it would be better to bring my bedroom instead of the kitchen.

Ha, I know, that's not my favorite room, yet!

So, the kitchen came, the room I spend most of the time with my family. This is how it looks now, after many DIY projects and lots of elbow grease.

Here is a view from the kitchen to the adjacent family room, that's one reasons why this big room is the place to hang out, it is also the place to do homework, play a game or watch t.v. while cooking something.

It is also the room that started me as a blogger, when I was inspired to change the dated 90's look. I promised myself to do it the best possibly way I could, doing it on a budget, and documenting all the steps that were done.

After a few months, that same kitchen was transformed (paint, backsplash, range hood, lighting, trim work, etc.), all that hard work was more than worth it!  This is how it looked after the big makeover.

It has stayed the same for almost two years, but lately I've done some changes, like bringing "new" chairs to the breakfast area, the ones before where a bit too bulky for the space and blocked the view.

In the mornings when I just reach the main floor, this is the view that still puts a smile on my face :) The window shade was also updated, it was such an easy project that I'm already thinking on changing it again for the Holidays.

The basic colors in the kitchen makes it easy to decorate for the seasons.

Some branches from the yard or plain bottles brighten up those little nooks.

One more change came by simple taking off a door and installing a plate rack.

Simple changes that give interest and openness to this small kitchen.

The shelves at the end of the island have become my perfect spot to displayed those thrifty and not so thrifty treasures.

I would love to have you over at Remodelando la Casa. You can check all the projects that were done and the many more that continue to be completed, not only in the kitchen but all around our home.

Our homes keep changing, evolving
