Kitchen Reveal
Our kitchen is finally done! We've been in the house just under six months and most of the renovations were done within the first three weeks. But, like almost anything in life...the last 5% of the project took the most time.
In this case that was the tile back splash and painting the trim.
When we moved in, all the original trim in the house had been painted white...except for in the kitchen. I'm so grateful that this was the only room with trim that needed to be painted...because it just about did me in.
But...18 or so coats later (at least that's how it feels to me); it's done!
We chose grey cabinets and a light granite counter top. The walls were originally sky blue, so we painted those a neutral color as well.
Originally this area was kind of set up like a desk with cabinets above. We kept the same footprint but brought the counter top up to a normal height. The glass doors on the cabinets truly complete the butler's pantry look (in my opinion). We also did deep drawers underneath...best decision ever!
This is the bar area, which is across from the butler's pantry.
We wanted to add some copper tile because we did copper hardware on the drawers and cabinets. Turns out copper tile is expensive so we just did it on the one side. On the other side of the kitchen we did beveled white subway tile. I love the combination of the two together.
And of course we did a copper farmhouse sink. We had this sink in our other house and loved it so much. I definitely think it brings everything together.
I'm so glad to finally be done in here! Time to think about what the next (hopefully much smaller) project will be...
