Not a kitchen, but cool...

Want to see a few pics of a re-do the G/F and I did for my brother and sister-in-law? Figured I throw these up while I'm putting the finishing touches on our new kitchen! .

This was a totally unused corner of an outdated family room (forest green with gold stuff as accents). At one time it was a wet bar that was removed by previous owners. Pipes remained sticking out of the wall when they were done...lol... A little drywall, some cool colors, Ikea paraphernalia and it's good to go.

We actually updated the entire room, but I thought most would really only care about the Ikea corner...haha

Here' s the before and after...

That's great! Fabulous colors and simple, useful design. I love it when people post these little vignettes - it gives inspiration to those who aren't currently working on a huge project.

Love the floating shelves, the two-tone paint treatment and the frosted glass! What are those base cabinets, EFFEKTIV?

Great job!

That is cool! Thanks for posting it. What a difference some paint and a few shelves can make! It's an inspiration.

Love the color pallette and the way you emphasized the horizontal lines thru the shelves and wall paint. Good job!
