I’m so comfortable 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 area and whereas I really feel uncomfortable going large and daring, I used to be simply wanting a change – so large and daring I went. I acquired 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 effective – however we had been excited to offer the area somewhat 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 acquired this mirror, and added a inexperienced hand towel to the gold towel holder I acquired as effectively.
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 form of jogs my memory of blue stone. I selected it as a result of Buckles doesn’t do effectively 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 every little thing 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 extra space for storage and likewise 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 gasoline, 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 stated we needs to be good to go. I used it right this moment and it really works completely, however fortunately it’s underneath guarantee, if something goes unsuitable sooner or later.
I acquired somewhat loopy and did a gold sink and brushed brass faucet – I actually like mixing metals, so I believe it seems to be good! The counter tops are quartz and the backsplash is marble.
I acquired 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 pleased with the way it got here out – however the one factor I’ve discovered is that when 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 somewhat updating as effectively, so when you’re into dwelling stuff, keep tuned for that.
