While thinking about what to post today, my kitchen renovation before and after came to my mind.  Since we’re soon moving to another country (Sao Paulo) I feel it would be great to show how I renovated our kitchen. The second picture below shows how our kitchen was before.  Very unattractive!  We teared down everything, from the cabinets to the walls, got rid of that double tray ceiling and redid the floor.  My vision was to create something charming instead of modern because this house was built around the 80’s when there was absolutely no reference whatsoever to any period architecture.  So I decided it would look like something between old and au courant.  I hope you enjoy my kitchen before and after Julie Paulino Design.

I love the subtle shimmery of the mosaic.  I added mirror on the back of the upper cabinets to create light reflection.
