Kitchen Renovation Replace: Flooring, Cupboards, Sink, {Hardware} and Extra!

As we speak I’ve a kitchen renovation replace for you! Issues have been transferring proper alongside over the previous two weeks! The addition can be coming alongside however extra of the eye just lately went to the inside initiatives. The following two weeks will probably be enjoyable to see because the addition will begin to take form, too! I promise to share extra in an upcoming publish.
The enjoyable factor about this mission thus far is there was a LOT of progress already! But there are nonetheless so many particulars and design components we’re wanting ahead to (resembling trim items, crown molding, glass doorways, bookcases, lighting and ceilings!). We’re very happy with how fantastically it’s coming collectively already, so we’re feeling superb about every resolution.
I’ll share extra specifics on our design resolution course of in future posts, however for now I needed to present you a peek at the place we’re at thus far and some hints as to what’s to come back!
WOOD FLOORS:
As soon as the inside areas have been gutted (kitchen, eating room and lounge/entry flooring) the brand new European White Oak flooring went it. It’s STUNNING! We’re thrilled with the informal beachy appear and feel the flooring dropped at our house. The very first thing we observed was the pleasing indoor out of doors connection we felt between the wooden tones inside and the natural fantastic thing about our environment.
DINING ROOM WINDOWS AND WINDOW SEAT:
The prevailing home windows from the again of our house have been relocated to the brand new eating room. Not solely did this modification usher in a lot extra mild, we additionally bought a brand new surprising water view! In my final replace I had stated the home windows have been for mild and no view can be opened up, however I WAS WRONG!
Whereas it’s not a sweeping view from that aspect additional again on our house, any view of the water and islands past makes me completely happy. Plus, this new view could be simply seen by way of the eating room home windows as you stroll across the kitchen, so it’s a fairly enjoyable shock!
It isn’t straightforward to point out the brand new view in a photograph or video, and we undoubtedly must trim a big bush that’s blocking in all probability half of it, however you possibly can sort of see it beneath! As soon as the bush is trimmed down a bit it’ll be extra obvious. I like to get a glimpse of water as I stroll by way of the home, easy joys for this sea-loving gal :).
Proper beneath the home windows our new eating bench (with drawers beneath) was put in. Not but in are the 2 bookcases, one will probably be on either side. I needed so as to add a number of spots with open storage/show for books or seasonal items. And naturally we will’t wait so as to add a comfortable bench cushion and have enjoyable with coloration, sample and seasonal pillows, too. I’m actually loving the association right here as every room seems like an extension of the others, but in addition has a way of its personal distinctive place within the house.
WHITE APRON FRONT SINK AND POLISHED NICKEL FAUCET:
The new sink was set into place so the counter individuals might come measure! I’m in love. I don’t know if I’m the one weirdo who does this however as quickly because the contractors go away day-after-day, I’m strolling round gazing at every thing, organising little vignettes as a result of I really like seeing all of the PRETTY issues collectively! I shared the main points about our faucet on this publish.
INSET CABINETS AND ISLAND:
I’m in love with the cupboards. They turned out simply as I dreamed they might! They only really feel so homey, mild and completely happy, and have lovely particulars (lots of which aren’t even in but!). We selected conventional cabinetry with a mixture of types and particulars like beadboard, inset drawers and doorways, slab and beaded shaker profiles.
The end is so easy and GORGEOUS, I’m actually pleased with them. There are extra cabinetry particulars to come back like some toes and trim items, brackets, glass doorways and a fairly dish show space, too.
We’re additionally thrilled with how the structure feels to be within the area. We didn’t have quite a lot of partitions to work with because it has wall to wall doorways/home windows on one aspect and the opening to the eating room on the opposite, however it’s coming collectively simply precisely as I needed it to. It simply feels so cozy and welcoming! We additionally made essentially the most of our storage and counter area, too, which was vital to us in a smaller house!
Our flooring are lined however I discovered a number of discarded scraps to put out together with different components that will probably be represented within the area. It’s enjoyable to dream about every new factor that will probably be added!
Talking of the cupboards and structure, I’m so glad we put the sink right here. The home windows you possibly can see throughout are simply pretty as is the sunshine that is available in. I really like you could look over and see the eating space, too. Lifting and widening the 2 openings between these rooms actually was a dramatic change that we’re loving, too. (By the best way, I shared our kitchen design ground plans on this publish if you wish to look again on the earlier than and plans.)
The Queen Bee Vary Wall:
Whereas the Queen herself has not but be set on her throne right here :), this little artwork represents her coloration palette. I’m excited for the pop of coloration! We’re nonetheless lacking one cupboard that goes on the suitable and the hood and another particulars right here, however I can already inform Beatrix will probably be so fairly and match proper in.
I shared extra about our range alternative (lovingly named Beatrix, ha!) on this publish.
This cupboard wall goes to be particular too, you possibly can solely see a part of it thus far :). You possibly can see the spot for the fridge to the suitable of this area, too.
HARDWARE AND LIGHTING:
The {hardware} arrived, too (together with our lights!). We adore it! I needed a timeless basic search for our kitchen, so we selected a mixture of conventional {hardware} with a heat vintage brass end that’s simply so lovely (in addition to glass knobs and a few touches of nickel).

I don’t have photographs of the lights but, however you possibly can see them HERE (and our entire kitchen design temper board right here).
We ordered these adorable coastal solar lights for out of doors, I simply love them! Subsequent I’ve to decide on exterior lights for our new again porch!
A lot extra to come back, however I hope you loved this peek at our renovation! I can’t wait to share extra concerning the addition, too.
