Simple Design Ideas Great transformation! Love the blue backsplash

Howells Architecture + Design, LLC Thanks! It was a fun project.

amandapadgett I love this remodel! The blue is bold but not annoying.

Honestly I am white-kitchen-weary but this white kitchen does not fall in the category of typical white. It has character and originality.

Howells Architecture + Design, LLC Thanks, Amanda. We're glad you like it.

jjdesignkloos outstanding!

eagledzines Fabulous!

Carolina Photo To Go LLC Amazing transformation! Great job.

Gabberts Design Studio Nice work!

Marilyn Wilkie Oh! This is the kitchen that my husband went ape over two days ago. He wants that tile!!! This is just an amazing before and after. The owners deserve something for putting up with the old kitchen. Kudos!

smitty1159 love the blue tile and cookbook shelve.

Reico Kitchen & Bath Love it! Great great choice on tiles!

Howells Architecture + Design, LLC Thanks so much, everyone.

gwnorth At first I thought your before picture was the after picture and I was thinking hunh??? lol. Love the white beadboard and the cobalt blue tiles.

Question - did you have to rip out part of the ceiling to add the wiring for the pendant lights over the counter?

Howells Architecture + Design, LLC Hi, yes indeed we ripped out the ceiling for the wiring. This was an extensive remodel.

naomic1 NICE.....I Love your new kitchen and the blue tile really pops ;) ;) ;)

City Cabinet Center, San Diego I love the way you were able to conceal the work space by raising the bar height. Also, removing the cabinets above the bar was a great idea for opening up the space.

hparks74 All I have to say is WOW!:)))

Howells Architecture + Design, LLC Thanks so much.

Paradise Restored Landscaping & Exterior Design Radical transformation is right! We all know kitchens like the before from our youth - however - the after is dazzling! Nice work Howells A&D!

Howells Architecture + Design, LLC Thanks! Yes, this kitchen is very much your typical old dilapidated kitchen, common to so many American homes. But every space has potential. Thanks again for the good words, everyone.
