Our kitchen…so close!
I owe you a kitchen remodel update. I also owe you a bathroom remodel update, but let’s stick with the kitchen remodel for now. Deal? Thus far, we’ve chatted about our marble countertops, our cabinet installation, and our hardwood floors. And let’s not forget about where we started. Now, let’s talk tile. We went with counter to ceiling white subway tile with delorean gray grout. It’s a lot of tile, but it’s clean and subtle enough that it doesn’t take over the room. The island will do most of the talking in this kitchen, so once that’s in (it’s only halfway installed in the photos), I’m hoping it will steal the show. All in all, the kitchen is a functioning space, and you can see the outline of where we’re going. Perhaps it actually looks like a kitchen?! I was dealing with some mad sun in these photos, so they aren’t the best, but again, hopefully you can get an idea of how things are shaping up…
What’s still to come? Let’s see if I can remember all that’s still in store…
1.) Installation of cabinet faces/hardware
2.) Installation of open shelving
3.) Paint wood windows
4.) Trim
5.) Final coat on wood floors
6.) Installation of island – only half is in place in the photos
7.) Installation of butcher block island top
8.) Decor, decor, decor!
Oh yes, and the unpacking of dozens of kitchen boxes is in store too. Ugh. Makes me tired just thinking about it. Sometimes I hesitate sharing these photos as there’s still much to do to make it look like an actual kitchen, but hopefully you can see the potential in this room:).
it looks great so far! love the subway tile with gray grout, that’s also what we used in our kitchen. and your light fixtures are amazing
This looks so good! I love progress shots! I wish we had the space to do countertop to ceiling tile.
Oh it’s just coming together so perfectly. All your light fixtures are gorgeous, especially your dining fixture in front of the brick. You guys are moving right along
Where did you buy the light fixture hanging over your dining room table?
I am slightly obsessed with your lighting choices. They are fantastic!
It’s already STUNNING! You’re totally building my dream kitchen haha
I’m so glad u took the dining room light!! I loved it!! Kitchen is gonna look awesome!! Love the brick on fireplace
hi Angie! Yes, I made sure that was written into the contract…had to take that light with me:)!
Loving it!! Can’t wait to see more updates and of the bathroom too.
Gotta say I’m jealous! I’m loving your choices and can’t wait to see more!!
Ya’ll are making great progress!!! I absolutely LOVE the circular lights above the island!!!
Oh it’s looking soooooooo good!!! I just love the overall layout of this kitchen.
LOVE your lighting choices! The place looks like it is coming along great!
Love it! Are you guys doing this work yourselves? I want to do the white subway tile with darker grout as well, just seeing how difficult it is!
Hi Pamela! Sadly, we are not doing the work ourselves this time, as we want to get this project done as fast as possible:).
Love the subway tile! That is what I have in my bathroom
LOVING the subway tile. I’m actually in love with the whole thing. Can’t wait for more!
Oh my goodness! Those pendant lights have been on my wishlist for YEARS. Where did you get them?? I pinned them a long time ago after seeing them in Made By Girl’s kitchen, and I always said they’d be in my kitchen one day!
Hi Kim! They are from Visual Comfort and I bought them through a local store. It was love at first sight for me, too!
This looks amazing! You have done so much in such a short amount of time. Things are really coming together. You’ll have a functional kitchen in no time!!
I think this is going to look awesome when its completed, love those lights!!
Love love love! Everything is coming along wonderfully! Are you painting the window trim black?
Thank you, Ashley! Yes we are painting it black…how did you know:)?!
OMG!! This looks so amazing! It’s shaping up to be such an amazing space and I just love all the tile. So gorgeous!
This is looking amazing! Can you come decorate my entire house someday!?
LOVE it! I am a huge fan of subway tile & also having it go all the way to the ceiling. It makes a simple, clean and modern impact. Looks like an entertaining kitchen to me…
The remodel looks amazing! My hubby and I are jealous of the sq. footage you have for the kitchen. We are re-doing ours right now but only have 10×10 ft! Yours is so inspiring. Love the marble. xo kk
Well done! May I ask who supplied your cabinets?
Yes! Joe Occhipinti from Dovetail Custom Woodworks – http://www.dovetailcustomwoodworks.com/. He’s great:)!
How gorgeous! Are you painting the wood windows throughout? The warm wood looks so great with the brick, and painted windows get so sticky!
I hate mine, and wish they were still just wood. You could always stain/ebonize the wood rather than paint to get a similar effect but avoid the build-up and stickiness…all the designers are doing it.
