I’m so joyful to share that our kitchen and powder room reno is lastly full! The undertaking took about six and a half weeks and whereas I can truthfully say I felt each hour of that six and a half weeks, it was price it.
Let’s begin with the powder room. It’s a small area and whereas I really feel uncomfortable going massive and daring, I used to be simply wanting a change – so massive and daring I went. I obtained this pink wallpaper and Dan put in it. It is extremely pink however I’m actually into it!
Above you’ll be able to see the earlier than and after video I made on Instagram. The realm was positive – however we had been excited to provide the area a bit of replace. We did new flooring, cupboards and counter tops, new range with conversion to electrical, new sink and tap, and new bathroom within the powder room.
We stored the pedestal sink we already had and swapped out the fixtures. Initially I didn’t love the black and wished I’d gone with gold or a lightweight bronze, however it’s rising on me. I obtained this mirror, and added a inexperienced hand towel to the gold towel holder I obtained as properly.
I really like that the blue island matches the blue of the eating room.
I really like the feel of the tile – it is porcelain and designed for interiors however it kind of jogs my memory of blue stone. I selected it as a result of Buckles doesn’t do properly on slick or polished tile (which is why you see an enormous runner within the earlier than video) – and he has no drawback with this in any respect!! I debated in regards to the blue island – whether or not to do a White Island and blue backside cabinetry, or every part white – and I’m actually glad I ended up with this. We additionally did cupboards as much as the ceiling, which provides us a lot more room for storage and in addition makes the room really feel larger and brighter to me.
For home equipment, I stored the identical fridge and dishwasher I already had, and we made the choice to modify from electrical to fuel, and I used to be capable of finding a 30” Wolf vary in inventory at a close-by equipment store. When it arrived, it appeared to have been dropped (!!!!) and was dented, however a Wolf rep got here out and inspected it carefully, and changed each piece that wanted changing and mentioned we ought to be good to go. I used it in the present day and it really works completely, however fortunately it’s underneath guarantee, if something goes mistaken sooner or later.
I obtained a bit of loopy and did a gold sink and brushed brass faucet – I actually like mixing metals, so I believe it seems good! The counter tops are quartz and the backsplash is marble.
I obtained these handles, which I liked as a result of it picked up each the gold and the gray – and so they have a little bit of texture to them that I felt seemed cool.
I’m so pleased with the way it got here out – however the one factor I’ve realized is that after you end one undertaking, you discover forty-five extra to do, so we’re already underneath contract to color our bed room and do some electrical work in there for a bit of updating as properly, so when you’re into house stuff, keep tuned for that.
