It’s been over a year since we broke ground (rather, plaster wall) and began our kitchen renovation. On November 5th, 2017 we spent the day tearing down the wall that turned our kitchen into a cave in the center of our home. We thought we would have the essentials done in time for Christmas. How […]
The last of our kitchen shelves are installed! Yesterday I installed the last shelf and wasted no time filling them with everything I’ve been hoarding for this specific purpose. I moved the alarm control panel that used to be on this wall into our bedroom which is on the other side of the wall. Moving […]
We’ve made a lot of progress in our kitchen in the past several weeks. (As a reminder, here’s where we were when we started.) The last time I updated you, we were in the demolition phase and were refinishing the terrazzo floors. Once the floors were finished, we began the long process of building and installing […]
Today is a big turning point for our kitchen remodel. We’ll be taking out the remaining cabinets, finishing up the initial electrical work, and preparing our home for the terrazzo floor to be refinished. I’ll be saying goodbye to our functioning kitchen sink and quite possibly my sanity. But! It’s the step in the right […]
We’ve been making headway with our kitchen remodel and are quickly approaching the chaos that is sure to come with a large remodel project. Our cabinets have been delivered, the sink and faucet are on the way, and I’m losing plenty of sleep while contemplating all of the lighting options. While I am attempting to […]
We have officially begun our kitchen remodel by removing a useless wall last weekend. I can’t wait to share the big change with you but first I wanted to talk about lighting, which has proven to be a difficult design decision to settle on. source To get an idea of the space we’re lighting up, […]
Our kitchen renovation is still on stand-by until further notice due to The Great Slab Leak of 2016 and the broken foot that followed shortly thereafter but that won’t stop me from pinning inspiration and working out all of the details of our maybe-one-day kitchen in my head. Two friends of mine are hanging shelves in […]
We’ll be cooking a big Thanksgiving turkey tomorrow in our kitchen and will most likely be even more eager to begin renovations afterwards. I’ll be back another day with before photos and the majority of our plans however, today is a day for pretty pictures full of inspiration. We started out dreaming of white cabinets […]
Things have been busy at our home lately. Our days are filled with a lot of driving to and fro, running errands, picking up Elijah from school and Philip from work, cleaning, cooking, more cleaning, entertaining wee ones, and trying to squeeze in time to work on home projects. My mind wants to do more […]
When we last left off in the kitchen, I had just installed a rail above our stove. As you can see, it was lacking some pizzazz, specifically in the above the bar and below the cabinet region. Well you can officially call that dilemma a problemo no moro. That’s right, I just said what I said and […]
