I have taken you through the design process behind my office and bathroom, now it’s time to begin sharing our kitchen! As I have mentioned previously, our home has mid-century bones and was built 20 – 30 years after the other homes on our street. As a result, our home already has a fairly modern floor plan compared to those around it. That means that we lucked out and have a large eat-in kitchen as opposed to the small, separate kitchen and dining room layouts common in Kansas City homes built-in the 1920’s – 1930’s.
We are also fortunate that our kitchen was completely renovated in 2007. While that does mean that some aspects are a bit outdated 11 years later, it also means that our cabinetry, countertops, and appliances are still in perfectly decent shape and that a renovation is in no way necessary (score!). For that reason, today’s mid-century bohemian kitchen inspiration is focused on budget-friendly, cosmetic fixes rather than a major overhaul. It is amazing how a couple of cans of paint and a few simple additions and accessories can give a space a completely new life!
As you look through today’s inspiration, keep in mind that we are not refinishing our cabinets or doing any major work to the space as of now, so the fun cabinetry included in this post is not yet part of our design. Much like with our bathroom, we are waiting to see if we ultimately want to stay in this house before committing to a full kitchen remodel. I am pulling inspiration from these spaces solely as a means to accessorize and style.
What are your favorite budget-friendly ways to give a space new life? Do you see any elements in my mid-century bohemian kitchen inspiration that you would bring into your own home?
A note: I have been sharing glimpses of our home on a fairly routine basis since we moved into our new house in June. I am going to take a few months off from these posts so I can focus on all of the exciting holiday content I have planned. I will be back to share our master bedroom in January or February!
