Elsie's Kitchen: Progress Report

Hey, friends! I 'am here to share a tiny bit of a progress report on our kitchen nowadays. A couple of weeks ago I told the just before and some of our original plans. We ' re nonetheless deep and genuinely excited in the renovation, to see them come with each other.

1: "Progress" /> choices you can see in the image above. This epic shine light Lucent Light Shop on Etsy. It is s personally absolutely unbelievable and totally does the room (and it has a nice sister in the breakfast area subsequent door). I produced the choice early on to embrace mixed metals. There are some brass in the kitchen and some stainless steel as properly. And, so far, "You are usually collectively fairly excellent

two. Patterned subway tile I geeked about all these patterns for like two months ended choosing the straight fishbone I loved it correct away and have zero regrets. (which is usually my favorite quantity of the regret) had

three. Open shelves I think that you can live with and without having open shelves just before you, if it 'know.. s is for you or not . I ''ve heard a lot of people say that open shelves drove them crazy, what's funny for me simply because I was so opposite to my final kitchen we stopped all current cabinets and easy with white paint it updated, and some. time around the year two, I got quotes to the upper ones with open shelves that prohibit my husband, because we replace d currently reached the "maximum value" of the house (which implies further updates wouldn ' t . increase the worth for resale) Anyway, we have them in the studio kitchen and I loved her so much, I vowed that are in my next home ' d his epic open shelves. And I am so content with them. The styling is part of Next (: the enjoyable component aka) be.

4. New devices. This was an obvious decision for us, given that the devices Super old and some of them had been broken. We ' re is still utilized to our new oven and the dishwasher was hooked just yesterday, so it ' s far too early to report if I adore them. But I love how they off , and that 's not something

five. New cabinets The price difference makes sense only new, fundamental shaker style cabinets alternatively.. do cash to reconfigure what was already there I really like it so much I've by no means been in a property with new cabinets prior to and it lived... quite great s Can ' t wait to add this Hardware

6. Marble tile floors This was a challenging selection for us, we.! ' ve by no means carried out marble tiles ahead of, and we. re frankly a tiny afraid of the upkeep over the years, we' ve already sealed , twice and we '! ve, clean it every week with a special marble cleaner we Augh-do it appropriate, when / if I spilled red wine or spaghetti sauce, it will be tragic Please share any guidelines

What about the visuals go-whoa We actually actually enjoy the marble tiles It is,... s stunningly It goes from the kitchen to the winter garden and makes the space really feel so clean and bright

<. p> 7. quartz countertops. We deemed marble (heart eyes!), But at some point had to go with quartz, because it ' s so tough. It comes in a lot of various colors and patterns. We opted for Lyra that has Variety a marble look. I say somehow, simply because if you examine it really veiny marble (we have some of our bathrooms), it is s not as pronounced. It is s sort of a quite subtle marble look.

These were my best picks quartz. I like how the gray appears like a kind of cement. I also like the a single that knows totally steady (not shown). The a single we went with in the top left corner. We have them on the Stone World in Nashville. You can see in this post the final benefits much more.

There are several other details that you ' t seen, so I consider I ' ll save them for a future post

Here is s some inspiration!

Final winter / spring when we started home hunting, I began to gather inspiration for our new residence. Basically, I went to Pinterest hibernation. Haha

Collecting Inspiration can do two issues: 1. Inspire you endlessly, and 2. Mess! Since there are so several beautiful rooms, and as many Elections. Augh. It can be overwhelming.

Some of my inspiration starting points (best) 1. The Designs. The tiles that floor. Wow! 2. The Hunted Interior. Enjoy it backsplash tiles and light. three. ABM studio kitchen. I loved this area and wanted to repeat particular elements in my home. 4. The Hive Mag. Loved the relaxed atmosphere in this kitchen. Reminds me that the "really feel" is even more crucial than the 'look'.

This photo was taken yesterday, as Jeremy was painting the ceiling. As you can see, we have ' re nonetheless very much in a progress zone. The subsequent actions I need are adding hardware, filling and styling of the open shelves (including unpacking more boxes) to take, and then I have a couple of half-crazed DIY projects on my horizon, that make a colorful location our cuisine ! Oh, and carpets, I have two little carpets ASAP. I ll most likely wait Black Friday sales though. (Who to otherwise totally quit purchasing in late October / early November, simply because you know Black Friday is coming up?)

We have only just our plumbing snaked a couple of days ago and all via the home, flowing water, with a dishwasher, for the initial time. Baby steps, guys! These are thrilling instances right here.

Thanks for letting me share my kitchen to progress with you. I can not wait to share the completed area in the subsequent month or so. And me m pinch myself that I really cook meals and wash the dishes all in the very same space (only those who have been recently renovated, can access these simple pleasures most of us take for granted relate Haha.!) Back soon with more! xx Elsie
