I’m so pleased to share that our kitchen and powder room reno is lastly full! The challenge 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 house and whereas I really feel uncomfortable going huge and daring, I used to be simply wanting a change – so huge and daring I went. I received 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 have been excited to provide the house just a little replace. We did new flooring, cupboards and counter tops, new range with conversion to electrical, new sink and tap, and new rest room 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, nevertheless it’s rising on me. I received this mirror, and added a inexperienced hand towel to the gold towel holder I received 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 nevertheless it type 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 downside 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 the whole lot white – and I’m actually glad I ended up with this. We additionally did cupboards as much as the ceiling, which supplies 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 change 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 intently, and changed each piece that wanted changing and mentioned we ought to be good to go. I used it at the moment and it really works completely, however fortunately it’s underneath guarantee, if something goes fallacious sooner or later.
I received just a little 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 received these handles, which I beloved as a result of it picked up each the gold and the gray – they usually have a little bit of texture to them that I felt appeared cool.
I’m so proud of the way it got here out – however the one factor I’ve discovered is that after you end one challenge, 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 just a little updating as properly, so for those who’re into dwelling stuff, keep tuned for that.
