We are at such a cool place in our historic kitchen remodel! Paint has transformed the space and the last few items have been ordered! The transformation is at an inspiring place and although hiccups have happened, we are seeing the end in sight!
Week 5 has us seeing major additions, counting down the days until we have water again and taking note of all of the million little things that still need to be done. Whew! These challenges are not for the faint of heart and yet, here we are and we have base cabinets in the kitchen on the window run, getting templated for countertops tomorrow!
So, about this STUNNING tile by The Tile Shop is the foundation that this space needed. Your eyes immediately gravitate to it and the rest will be simple and sophisticated with some charm mixed in. Check it out here!
Wallpaper sponsored by Milton & King is in our niche that once housed the oven. I had to do a major degreaser first to ensure that the paper stuck but once I did, the paper went up fairly quickly and I LOVE the look!
And then....
That's right! This ALSO happened and now it is feeling one more step closer to a real kitchen! This fireclay fluted apron front sink sponsored by Vintage Tub & Bath is simply AMAZING, heavy and smooth. It is a work of art!!
