Overall, a no.  That end area is just out there.  Looks like the sink is under the next window in the before, maybe still is?  They also removed all the cabinets on the left.  Some kind of pantry would be good.

I like it...I like subway backsplash too because it's timeless. We are replacing our flooring downstairs, got rid of the 21 year old Pergo. I am installing the luxury vinyl plank because my house is lived in like you woudn't believe so I need durability. So the installer brought the flooring and will start next week...the color is not like the sample and I'm shaking my head about it. I wanted a more creamy tan and it's more light grey...I'm not a fan of the grey but at this point, I will just have to make it work. I will work around it and will probably paint to compliment them and will more than likely learn to love them.

The After is so much better.  The white a big improvement over the blue and yellow.  Whole wall of storage and new counters added to the back wall.  Nice counter height island.  Removal of dated open shelving.

The after is, of course, more tidy and makes better use of the space but is, to me, hardly impressive.

I dislike gray walls, but this shade is one I could live with, as it appears to be a gray/beige color and light enough to not make the room look depressing.  I think they did a really nice job.

I don't care for either one.  The first is too cluttered which is just a matter of organization and cleaning up.  I would not have the shelve, drawer part that juts out and that would provide more room.  Of course color change would help and nice curtains.

 

The second kitchen, while neat and organized is drab and blah in my opinion, maybe a color change would help.

#2 works for me! It would be hard to stay in the cluttery kitchen for long

The before was awful... the after is awesome 😉

I don't envy you going thru this, been there not that long ago. But, it will be so worth it. Hope you enjoy your new kitchen when it is finally done.

Well, of course, the after looks better!  But in the before, it would have looked so much better if they would have just cleaned up all the junk setting around!  The remodel is more modern and fresh, but the old one is quaint and cute and as I said, would be just fine, if only it were cleaned up! Myself, I like retro looking things.
