✨KITCHEN TRANSFORMATION MAGIC: FROM THE 1990’S TO ABSOLUTELY WOW and NOW✨

Every once in a while, a space taps you on the shoulder and whispers,
“Hey… I’m doing my best, but I’m stuck in the 1990’s. Help a girl out?”

This kitchen was exactly that space—hard-working, loyal, and overdue for a makeover that didn’t involve teal laminate and fluorescent box lighting. The bones were solid, but the chi? Flat. Compressed. Snoozing.

So we rolled up our sleeves, dusted off the Feng Shui compass, and sprinkled in a whole lot of COLOR, intention, and “let’s make this place fabulous.”

And… ohhhh my heavens. Wait until you see the after.

BEFORE: OUR SWEET (BUT TIRED) 1990’S KITCHEN:

Think:

Honey oak EVERYTHING
Teal Formica countertops (you know the ones…)
Fluorescent light panel sucking the life out of the room
A lack of sparkle, flow, or energetic lift

Nothing was “wrong”—it was simply stuck in a past chapter.
The elements weren’t balanced. The chi couldn’t circulate.
And the overall vibe leaned a little more “school cafeteria nostalgia” than “modern, magnetic, high-vibe home.”

AFTER: COLOR! LIGHT! JOY! A BRAND-NEW ELEMENTAL BALANCE!

Let’s talk about the transformation—because WOW, is she a show-stopper.

~Lighting

Out went the giant fluorescent box light.
In came a modern, soft-glow ceiling fixture that lifts the entire room.
Light = Fire Element → Fire = Energy activation, enthusiasm, movement.
HECK YES.

~Paint + COLOR (the BIG chi shifter!)

We went bold.

We went playful.

We went absolutely unapologetic.

Olive green cabinetry (Wood element: growth, vitality, nourishment)
Crisp turquoise ceiling (Water element: flow, intuition, expansion)
Glowing orange tile backsplash (Fire element: motivation + joy)

These colors don’t just look gorgeous—they balance the elements, creating a space that feels clear and refined.

This kitchen is now a chi-generating MACHINE.

~New Countertops + Sink

The fresh quartz counters = Earth element: stability, grounding, support. The new sink adds clean metal energy—clarity, precision, purification.

Together, the materials create a calm, durable foundation so the bolder colors can shine without overwhelming.

~Overall Feng Shui Impact

The space now feels bigger and brighter (yes, color can do that!)
The chi flows smoothly around the room
The energy is uplifted, balanced, and absolutely buzzing
It's now a kitchen that NOURISHES—not just a place where someone reheats soup

And the best part?

Our client is OVER-THE-MOON, jumping-up-and-down excited.

She walks in and smiles.
She feels different in her space—and THAT is the whole point.

This is what Feng Shui + design magic can do.
