Personalized Ikea Kitchen Transformation

The winners of the 2014 Ikea Kitchen Makeover contest were inspired to apply due to their “ad hoc” kitchen, but they wanted to maintain their distinctive style. See the transformation in this House & Home video:

The renovated kitchen has new handstone countertops, new appliances and grey cabinetry. To allow the countertop to be extended around the perimeter of the kitchen, making room for a breakfast bar, the window was shortened and the back yard door was closed off. The living room window was converted into a sliding door to the back yard.

Beautiful mural wallpaper with a vintage vibe was applied on one wall along with a display shelf. A chalkboard area created with chalkboard paint and a black tape border was placed beside the refrigerator for the homeowner’s two-year old son.
