DIY SMALL KITCHEN REMODEL on a Budget...and a Question!

Our small kitchen renovation is almost complete and the painted corner cabinets are done! This weekend I finished the job with the interiors. The thrifted valances are up, the old ironstone put away, and other than installing the blinds and my light fixture, our kitchen nook is finished. Come along and take a look at our cottage kitchen! Question...shall I replace our kitchen cabinets with new? Should we tear it out and start fresh in the kitchen?

The kitchen nook is so pretty! I love the colors you chose. Your dishes are beautiful. As for the kitchen, I would NOT put open shelving. I know it looks nice and it's popular right now, but you will regret it when you have to clean the dust and grime off them. And what if you find a dead bug? Yuk!!! You could replace some of the kitchen cabinet doors with glass instead and still be able to see and show off what you have.

You sure get a lot done in the time you spend in Secretary!! The kitchen nook looks very pretty and welcoming! I love the arches in your kitchen cabinet area. But I can see why you might want to replace and go with new. Is there any way to keep the arch over the sink and, maybe, shape/cut it so it's not so long-hanging over the window? It seems a bit heavy.. But the open-shelving on the other side would look great. Split decision from me, sorry.
