My kitchen reno that I thought would last for 3-4 weeks is now in its fifth month. The cabinets went in quickly but I had an issue with my counter which held things up for ages. Then barfy children and life in general got in the way of everything else. Our beautiful backsplash was finally installed last week.
The backsplash has added a new step to the reno though. The colours do not match the existing wall colour, which is Behr’s Salty Tear.
So I am going to change it to my favourite Benjamin Moore blue, Harbor Haze.
I still have to choose light fixtures. I am leaning towards this lovely one from Union Lighting. So simple and stylish. I’ll take two please.
I also have to buy the fabric for window treatments and for a huge DIY memo board over the desk area. I have already selected the two fabrics, but I will save them for another post. In my wildest fantasies, I would also replace the stove, dishwasher and floors. But those will just have to wait.
I think a kitchen needs to be styled like any other room and love shopping for the perfect accessories. Art is no exception. I wanted a piece of art for my counter so I came up with this simple piece:
I need to change the mat in the larger frame and I want the small photo to be a picture of both of my boys eating something messy, but you get the idea!
I can’t wait until the final details come together so I can share my new beautiful kitchen with you!
