Hi, Elise here and I am so excited to share my kitchen before and after with you today!
In December 2018, my family bought a new house in our same neighborhood in San Diego. My daughter had started kindergarten a few months before and as soon as she began settling into her new school, my husband and I realized we wanted to live in this area for a long time. We started looking for houses that were on a quieter street and had a little more space.
We were in the house for about 100 days during the remodel, which felt fairly fast all things considered and are so happy with how the space has transformed! Thank you for letting me share with you. I have linked the sources below.

Such a beautiful kitchen! I have a thing for kitchen islands – Elise’s has done such a good job with hers! 🙂

Very similar to YoungHouseLove’s kitchen!
Loving the light fixtures but couldn’t find a source—where are they from?
Where are those chairs from????
Same! Love the chairs! Would love the source

Beautiful! I so love parquet floors…we had them in the entry in my childhood home and I was so dismayed when my parents tore it out to put in boring tile. They are lovely!
Stunning! I love the flooring and having nothing on the countertops gives it such a clean look! Putting plugs in cabinets where you want to have plugged-in things is genius!
Beautiful kitchen. Can you share the source for the floating shelves?
It’s so beautiful and I think of you every time I see a home with parquet now! xx
I am a “nothing on the countertops” person too, so I love the hidden microwave and coffee maker. I also love that you didn’t do much shelving on the top and kept it simple.
So beautiful! Love the kitchen, Elise and ABM! What a good combo!!!
Where are the gorgeous light fixtures above the island from?
Gorgeous kitchen transformation, wow. I’m slowly redoing mine – currently saving up to replace the countertops, and bookmarking this post as inspiration!
I’m curious about how you painted the cabinets. Did you sand them first or just paint on top of the existing color? Thanks in advance!
It’s so beautiful, Elise! You always have such a vision.

Beautiful! I noticed you have no range hood – how does that work for you? I hate the look of them and rarely use mine.
oh my god those pendant lights are absolutely amazing – I’m saving those for future house remodels!
Great choice of floor, love it!
Hi, what color grout did you use for the Cloe tile?
