Welcome to the 40th Metamorphosis Monday!
A couple of weeks ago, you saw the pic below when I posted Bonnie’s beautiful fall tablescape for a Tablescape Thursday. Well, I couldn’t keep my eyes off her gorgeous kitchen just visible through those pretty arched doors. So, I asked Bonnie if she’d give us a tour of her kitchen…and…Yipee…she said, yes!
Of course, if you are a FAN of BNOTP on Facebook, you knew this already, right? You’ll find the Facebook Fan link posted on my sidebar. I am really enjoying having a Facebook page for BNOTP because it’s giving me a quick way to update you on any neat shopping finds (before they are sold out) or even news regarding MM or TT each week.
Thank-you, Bonnie for welcoming us into your beautiful home!
Here are some “Before” pics that Bonnie took through the windows when they were first looking at their home, prior to buying it.
Wait until you see the “After” waiting just through those doors!
Wow! Gorgeous! This is my idea of the perfect kitchen!
I adore a sunny, bright kitchen with white cabinetry…this is positively stunning! Do you see sweet Sophie?
What an adorable face! Notice her reading literature. Is that a playbill? Perhaps she is getting ready for an outing to the theater?
Sweet Max..
Another sweet furry face…Goldie, was abandoned by neighbors who moved away and Bonnie and her husband took him in. Lucky kitty! Bonnie says Goldie is a fierce hunter!
Love the huge bay window over the sink…
Aren’t the topiaries just perfect there?! ~~~SIGH~~~ Do you like the color Bonnie painted her kitchen? It’s Sherwin Williams #MC6661 in eggshell.
I am so drooling over that wonderful pumpkin tureen? Bonnie says it’s a Fitz and Floyd piece she found at Tuesday Morning.
What a beautiful tiled backsplash and granite! I love the neutral colors…stay neutral, and as you change your decorative pieces seasonally, it will always work beautifully. Plus, you’ll never tire of it. The range hood is fabulous! How about a little close up of that amazing stove?
The detailing on the hood and the corbels underneath are gorgeous! Bonnie, I am seriously coveting this kitchen! Love the fall wreath and harvest sign! The decorative piece above the stove and the ceramic pieces on the counter are from Horchow.
A view looking back into the dining room where we saw Bonnie’s beautiful fall tablescape…
Notice the fall display in the cabinet there across the room…let’s go take a closer look…
Great Halloween/Fall display!
Refrigerator, what refrigerator? Love that you don’t even notice it!
I asked Bonnie where she got her design idea for her kitchen. Bonnie said, “I just had it in my mind after looking at years of decorating magazines and books. We also had a wonderful cabinet maker to work with. I would sketch out what I wanted, he would build it, only better. The only change I would make if I had it to do over again, is that I would do mostly drawers.”
The pretty dragonfly chair is part of Bonnie’s breakfast area…we definitely NEED to see that area, too!
Here’s a “before” pic of Bonnie’s dining room area showing the carpet she “inherited” when she bought her home.
Now look at Bonnie’s beautiful dining room and breakfast area. Love all the fall color from the decorated chandeliers to the wonderful table linens. Can you just imagine Christmas time? Hint, hint!
Does this give you ideas for decorating your chandeliers?
A beautiful way to display your pitchers…what a great collection! Bonnie found most of her pitchers at TJ Maxx. I asked her about this fabulous shelf and mirror and she told me the shelf is made of tin ceiling tiles and was purchased from a craftsman on eBay…many years ago. The mirror is from Ballard Designs.
Bonnie, thank you so much for giving us a tour of your gorgeous kitchen…it is truly a dream kitchen in every way!
Bonnie shared pics of her “dish” room with me…and it is fabulous! I’ll be posting those for a future Tablescape Thursday…you will not want to miss that post! Everything is so beautifully organized…can’t wait to share it!
Looking forward to seeing your “Before and Afters” for this Metamorphosis Monday!

Now, THAT is a fun post, Susan! Loved seeing this. Lots of fun ideas, too, and I love chandeliers that are decorated with festive arrangements. Nice!
I'm joining you today with my cousin's house in MV. I took these a long time ago. I don't have the befores, but he did an amazing job. He was featured in a couple of magazines, and the befores are in at least one. I don't have a scanner so I couldn't add them. Hope that's okay.
Now, I feel the need to decorate for fall! We've now got cool weather FINALLY!
XO,
Sheila 🙂

Wow! What an incredible transformation. The cabinetry is just gorgeous, and I love all of her color choices. Thanks for the tour. I'm off to check out your facebook page, didn't know you had one! Kathy
What a beautiful kitchen!
Bonnie's house is so beautiful! Please thank her for the tour. Looking forward to seeing the "dish" room and would LOVE to see this house at Chrismtas {hint, hint ; )} I love the kitchen and I'm not normally a fan of white cabinets {for myself}, but I think the colors Bonnie brought in keep it warm.
Wow, that is so beautiful!!
Oh My Gosh! What a stunning kitchen!!!
Gorgeous kitchen, and dining room, and breakfast nook…. WOW!!!
I absolutely LOVE the window above the sink. If I ever have a chance to build my dream kitchen, it'll definitely have a big window that comes all the way down to the countertop.

Hi Susan, how are you doing? It has been ages since i have visited you, and all the great Met mondays, blogging days have been a little slow. I came just in time to see this gorgeous kitchen, exactly what i would like as a dream kitchen. Im happy that Bonnies dreams for her kitchen turned into reality, such a beautiful space to wake up to each morning.

That is one gorgeous kitchen! Thank you for sharing it with us!
That is just beautiful! Thanks for sharing that, Susan.
FABULOUS kitchen… great redo!!!
I have sinned because I am coveting too, and I am apparently not through coveting because if she has a "dish room", I will really be envious. That breakfast room chandelier is just too pretty! Thanks for sharing.
Oh WOW! Love that kitchen! How lucky she is! Hope you don't mind me linking in today Susan. It's not really a metamorphosis post – but I'm trying to switch up my blog a bit, so I figure it's a blog morph! LOL! Thanks! 🙂
I want a kitchen like that! All nice and white and full of decorations, MB
I'll take one kitchen like that.
This house is so gorgeous! And all those Autumn colours make it so cosy!!
Greet
I'm in awe. I love love love it.

Wow, Susan, Bonnie has one gorgeous kitchen! I have kitchen envy too, that is a seriously well thought out kitchen space.
enjoyed meeting you over the weekend!!
OMG, what a beautiful kitchen, I love it. I love the hood over the stove and well just everything!
I'm having palpitations…and a serious case of kitchen coveting. Absolutely GORGEOUS.
Hi all,
I've had a few requests for the paint color we used. It was the hardest thing I had to choose during the remodel. I finally found a color I loved when I toured the Ashland Springs Hotel in Ashland, OR – my contractor tracked down the recipe for the color, so I don't have a name. I'll see if I can find out and I'll post it here if I do.
Thanks to all for your kind comments! ~Bonnie
That is a kitchen to die for. Absolutely fabulous, and thank you Bonnie for sharing it with us.
Qué maravillosa transformación, la cocina quedó estupenda, muy buena decoración.
La alfombra preciosa.
Hugs
Charo
Loved Bonnie's kitchen. Her tureen made me sad because I found out when I unpacked my fall decor that mine was broken in storage. Now, she has spured me on to find a new one(I had told myself "No you don't need one you never used it other than to decorate with")
And I can't wiat to see her storage. Is there ever enough storage? No! Thanks for sharing.
what a fabulous kitchen. I want it. I love the colours. It must take a lot of effort to keep it looking so beautiful
I dream of having a kitchen like this some day!! It's perfect in every way. Thanks for hosting this lovely event!
Preciosa casa, la más bella del mundo, me gusta tanto los colores la decoración, te cuento que estoy sumandome a los 5 proyectos semnales y a lña metamorfosis de los contigo y por eso abri el nuevo blog, que es mi casa, con mis chicos, http://mihogardondesoyfeliz.blogspot.com y sigo con reciclando con chany tambien, te veo pronto un abrazo Chany.-

Oh this is so fun to see, have had to look at it more than once just to take it all in.
Stunning, what a fabulous transformation.
I would move in there!!
Linda Q
Woo hoo!!! My sweet husband tracked down the kitchen paint color! It's Sherwin Williams #MC6661 in eggshell.

Thanks so much for the granite info. my MIL is trying to decide on counters and after showing her your kitchen she made the decision. So great to visualize when you have such a fantastic inspiration. Thanks again and puhleeze create a blog so you can share your home and ideas with us!
*sigh* So inviting. Love the kitchen paint color.
This is so beautiful and bright, I’ve been planning my own kitchen reno for 5 years now and this is the closest thing I’ve seen to what I want, sink under a bay window, the classy country deco, the color scheme, and L shaped Island! It’s so nice to see it on paper and be able to show my contractor something similar. Thank you so much for sharing. Just gorgeous.
Thanks, Claire!
