Kitchen Remodel...Before

Welcome to the official "before" post! We are well underway with the kitchen remodel now, and I will post some current shots tomorrow. But, you can chew on the absolute yuckiness of these images for a bit.

Note the weird angled island, fabulous blue 4x4 bathroom tile on the counters and backsplash, and of course that bungee cord you can barely make out wrapped around the oven handle was for securely closing the oven while cooking. (only a few times did it snap off and slingshot across the room, thankfully not injuring anyone)

Above is the screened porch that will now have windows and be a lovely breakfast area!!



Above is the butler's pantry/laundry. What can I say...ugly!

Recent Project

Here are some photos of a recent project. It was a whole house remodel, and my talented husband was the architect.






Update...Just to clarify, this was a project for a client, not our own home. Our own kitchen is underway as we speak!

Sneak Peek

This is a little peek at a family room that I have finished up. It was part of an addition that is open to a new kitchen. The entire house was remodeled as well, and there is more to share. I am hoping to have professional photos taken sometime soon, and of course these pics are completely unstyled, and before pillows and details etc...

Nautral High...

I love this....natural linen, grasscloth, gorgeous wood floors, shaggy rug and tons of light!

The Ultimate Garden...

This is pretty close to what I picture happening in my yard.

A nice place to enjoy a summer evening...

Every garden needs a good ivy covered arbor...

But in my next life, I think I'll take a succulent garden like this...

And an entry like this.

Yes, Please...

I'll take any of these.

Would love to get some work done at this table.

I love this one, but...
I think I would swap the flower photo with something more abstract and colorful. I like a little dose of color with my serene, monochromatic interiors.

Bathroom Renovation!

We are finally replacing bathroom fixtures! We currently have pedestal sinks in both bathrooms. Both have chipped and peeling finishes, as well as rusted drains. I guess this is what happens after 98 years! For about 6 months now, the kids' sink has been totally non-functioning, which means all 4 of us have been using our little sink.


Above is the kids' bathroom. They will get a cabinet with undermount sink, and alabama white counter. We are keeping all of the alabama white marble you see on the walls and floor, which is original. We are also going to redo the medicine cabinets which are angled and not very functional.
This is the kids' bathtub which we don't use since it's chipping and peeling, and the tub filler is actually at the bottom of the tub so the water level rises up above it (way against code!). We are replacing with another tub that is very similar, on a pedestal, but with a beautiful new faucet and hand spray.

Master bath shower...adding a glass door, no more annoying and ugly curtain!

Taking out this sink and adding a double vanity where the tub sits. I will probably add a small piece of furniture where the pedestal was.


The tub which is disappearing, and the location of the new vanity, which will also have undermount sinks and alabama white marble.

Stay tuned for some in progress, and "after" pictures.
