Kitchen Update with Gold Accents

It is finally done! At least phase one is. Our kitchen update has been something I’ve been sort of planning in my mind for a while.

At some point down the road, I have a list of additional changes I may choose to make, but for now, I’m loving the space again.

*This post contains affiliate links. Disclosure here.

Below is the look before the kitchen update was completed.

And here is our completed kitchen update!

I started with new pendants and I love them! They stand out so much more than the ones I replaced.

I also changed my barstools. I’ve wanted to change them for a while. When I saw these, I knew they were the ones! They’re lucite with an antique gold finish on the frame. The gold color could not be more perfect with my other updates. They are by one of my favorite brands, Gabby. I just can’t stay away from their beautiful, transitional pieces!

The next find, this stunner!

To say I’m obsessed would be an understatement! It is a new kitchen faucet designed by Newport Brass as is the matching soap dispenser. The day it was installed, everything came together. I’m just so thrilled with the amazing quality.

The final update was our backsplash. It is brick and was applied during the construction of our home. I simply chose to paint it white for a cleaner, brighter look.

I will share the details of the process soon, but here is a closeup.

Just these four changes made such a big difference!

I have done several full-room makeovers lately, so it was wonderful to be able to change four things and have a fresh new look. As I mentioned above, additional changes may follow, but for now, this update is just what our kitchen needed.

If you have a room that needs an update, but the timing isn’t right for a full makeover, I hope you will try making small changes. As illustrated here with my kitchen update, you may be surprised at how easy it is to give your home a fresh new look!

Update: Phase 2 will be revealed soon and will include freshly painted cabinets, hardware, and more!! The project details and progress have me very excited!

    Gorgeous!! I adore gold tones and love the changes you made. Would you mind sharing which finish is your faucet… aged brass or antique brass?

      Hi Alison,
      I am sorry I am just now seeing your question. The finish on my faucet is antique brass.

    Can I ask why you chose not to put hardware on your cabinets? They don’t seem like the kind that could easily open without knobs and pulls. I’ve been seeing more and more WHITE cabinets with no hardware on them on makeover shows and I cringe at the thought of all the dirty fingerprints ending up on the nice white cabinets.

      Hello and thanks for your question. Hardware was not included from our builder when we purchased the home. Rather than pay extra for the hardware that our builder offered as an upgrade, we elected to add it later. We never actually got around to adding it, but our cabinets are very easy to open and I haven’t had an issue with fingerprint smudges. For the next phase of our kitchen makeover, we may decide to add hardware.

    Jen, I can’t get over this transformation!!!!! It was gorgeous before but the painted brick makes all the difference in the world (the exterior of our new home will be white painted brick and I can’t wait)!!! I love the Gabby barstools as well, along with the new faucet and lighting! Bravo to another beautiful reveal, my friend!! xoxo

    Beautiful! I enjoy reading your posts and always find inspiration for our home. My style is a bit more vintage – like your original look – but I love the warmth and sparkle that a few gold touches bring into the space. Those bar stools are fab!

      Thank you Robin! I still love the look of beautiful vintage pieces, but I had decorated them for so many years, it was time for change. I’m so glad you still find inspiration here! Thank you for reading. xoxo

    Love it! I went straight to the website and snagged that gold tray. I neeeed those barstools, but at a lower price point, the hunt begins.

    I’m thinking of making very same changes to freshen up my white cabinets. But I see you don’t have handles on your cabinets. Is that true? If so, do you recommend I replace my silver with gold ones or would that be overkill?

      Hi Jena! Sorry I am just seeing your comment! I didn’t have knob or pulls, but since this update, we have added them. I adore brass/gold ones and they are certainly current. Some of the new ones I selected are brass and some are lucite with brass accents. Hope this helps!

      Hi Lindsey! The cabinets were an option through our builder. They were not job-built, so I don’t have a color. Sorry!

    Hi! I’m building a house and have looked at what seems to be thousands of pendants/chandeliers for the island and over the kitchen table. The gold redo looks awesome, but I really loved the pendants you had prior to the makeover. Do you have any idea where they were purchased? They look sort of french country – oval/three rings with one light bulb in the center. Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!
    Dawn

      Hi Dawn! They have been discontinued. We still have the ones we took down from our kitchen. I’m not sure if you are interested, but they are going to be listed for sale soon. You can email [email protected] for more information. Hope this helps!
