I LOVE the new look. I think a big problem with people who think the before is "charming" is THEY aren't the ones that have to cook and use the space. Not to be rude, but the before looks rather grody (not just because it's lived in, as "lived in" does NOT equal grody), and kitchens should be clean. You can see the stains in the finishes, that have probably been there for years and no one can get them out. I think it's a great idea to keep the more permanent elements (like appliances/tile/cabinetry) neutral, as it leaves the homeowners the freedom of choosing which colours they want to use and when! My two cents, anyways...

Congrats to the homeowners who I'm sure LOVE the change!

I can't wait for an outdoor channel! I just did a blog post about our garden plans, but my crappy cell phone pics would only suit to enrage normal AT dwellers. Can't wait to see what others share!

I'd also highly recommend the Ultimate Scratching Post by Smart Cat. I have three Maine Coons, and they absolutely LOVE their post. The only time I've seen it really wobble is when my biggest (~20lbs) actually hangs his entire body off it, after slamming into it at a dead run from the stairs. Hasn't tipped over yet! I will actually be buying another one they love it SO much.

Really? People have an issue with the title? Clearly the writer was including it as a little quip toward the space. Get over yourselves.

I can't wait to see this transformation!

I like how everyone is defending the "artist" being Fairey, and not the original photographer, who is actually the one who owns the copyright on his hard work. WTG, AT readers. You keep at the crusade.

I love all the paint colours, and the coffee table is beautiful!

worth = worthy

I'd love more information about the art and the pillows. The pillow at the end of the tour cracked me up. "Seriously, don't f**k my mom." The Miramax pillows are also killer.

Whoa, those patterns are just way too crazy.

In regards to Gianna's comment, I'd avoid using Porpoise unless you really like purple undertones. I just painted my entire office this colour and it is a huge let down. Beautiful on paint chips, beautiful on the site, very purple on the walls.

I agree with the rest of the commenters, white mat/towels. If you're a renter, are you allowed to paint? If not I'd consider adding some art that wouldn't be affected by the moisture. And some nice glass containers to hold essentials.
