Which we hope to finish in the next few weeks and then I’ll show off the family room, though you can see a sneaky peek of it here. The last thing to do is to build a mantel in the family room. We had to let our contractor go and so the last month has been Alan and I finishing all the crown molding and trim work ourselves. 😉Īll of the upper cabinets have under cabinet lighting and the glass uppers have LED strip tape lighting. I LOVE IT! It is whisper soft but I’m still watching him out of the corner of my eye. The bad boy dishwasher that caused all of our nightmares was replaced by a new Samsung Waterwall dishwasher. Previously we had only electric, but converted over to a gorgeous gas range by Samsung with matching microwave. This area once was an empty and wasted space but now serves our little coffee station. We ripped out all of the existing soffits and added upper glass cabinets and a new upper and lower cabinet in the corner. My mom’s home has deep drawers and they are so much easier to use and seem to store so much more. I chose almost all deep drawers for our base cabinets. island and tongue & groove peninsula color – Sherwin Williams Oyster Bay.white cabinets – Sherwin Williams (custom white color) but closest would be Extra White.family room walls – Sherwin Williams Sea Salt.kitchen walls- Sherwin Williams Comfort Gray.The paint colors in the kitchen are the following: It looks like marble but is so much stronger, non-porous and does not need any maintenance. This beautiful white quartz is called “Torquay”. The counter tops are Cambria Quartz (which we had before but in a different color). What girl does need a little bling in the kitchen? After all this flood drama… I think I deserve it. Gold accents are then brought into and throughout the family room also. They repeat the gold tone of the faucet, the warm weathered oak floors and the gold in the tile backsplash. Our overhead lighting was all redone and the 2 Gold Orb Pendants over the bar are by Ballard Designs. Our hardware was provided through our cabinet company and it’s called Elements Sedona Collection in Brushed Nickel. Our cabinets were all custom built from a local custom cabinet company. There are 3 different sizes of hardware I’m using in my kitchen and family room cabinets. This faucet is a game changer in the kitchen. When it is done correctly, mixing metals can give a room a more intersting, creative, and vibrant energy that people can’t quite put their finger on. Call me a bit of a traditional ruler breaker. My personal style is not a “matchy-match” kind of style. The reemergence of muted bronze and gold tones were just starting to pop up onto the style scene. I kid you not! I was a Delta Faucet Blogger back in 2013 and chose this gorgeous Trinsic Touch Faucet in Champagne Bronze.
This faucet has been sitting under my bed for the past 3 years. I wish the camera could capture the iridescence better. The color of the tile is a marbled swirl of seaglass blues, greens, and gold, topped with a subtle pearl iridescent glazed finish. The color is Agate Lucca Pearl 1×4 Brick. The coastal backsplash is tile from Lunada Bay Tile. We found the stools at several years ago, but I’m pretty sure they still carry them. I wanted new stools but they weren’t in the budget so we spray painted our old mahogany stools white to match the kitchen. Ta-da! The kitchen is exactly what I envisioned. Putting together all the products you love onto one board or even a Pinterest board is a great way to develop a cohesive design concept.
I created a coastal kitchen design idea board. It was time to make our kitchen the kitchen of my dreams. When you lose everything, then the blessing is that you can start with a clean slate. My blood pressure is still too high to write about dealing with home insurance and contractors, but as soon as I can get calm enough without cussing I’ll recap all the HARD lessons learned through this awful process. You can follow the whole “after the flood” and makover journey with the posts at the bottom of this page. I thought my husband would have a heart attack.
Cabinets, counters, hardwood, carpet, padding. Water half way into our familyroom and under all of our hardwood flooring in the kitchen and eating area. And because our hardwood went under the cabinets, the water restoration people had to rip out everything. Here’s a little reminder of where we were: in complete panic mode. I won’t lie, this has been one of the hardest years of our family’s lives, but the results are so amazing and I’m still in disbelief that this is our home! Get ready for a slew of photos my friends! It’s been 10 long months since our dishwasher decided to go rogue in the middle of the night and destroy nearly 1/2 of our first floor level. Today I’m revealing our Coastal Kitchen Makeover! ( FINALLY, I hear you say). Raise a glass with me! Today is the day! I’m so excited I could scream.
