Revamp your kitchen with stylish decor, modern fixtures, and unique hardware to create a beautiful and functional space that reflects your taste.

*updated June 2024 | Kitchen renovation completed Jan 2023 but we’ve slowly been finishing it off.

It’s been a year and a half since we completed the 1500 sq ft addition to our home. As grateful as we are to be back in the house, we have spent thousands working on it and are still thousands away from fully finishing it. Why is everything so expensive? Argh!

We’re doing as much as we can ourselves and thrifting where possible. But things like hiring drywall finishers and installing our gas line (plus permits) adds up quick! Here’s a kitchen update plus sources.

Transform your kitchen with stunning decor ideas, from stylish backsplashes and modern fixtures to unique hardware, creating a beautiful and functional space that reflects your taste.

I love how it’s coming together but am stuck on a few things and would love to hear your feedback. I love a white kitchen but I’m all about color (especially pink!) so I’m dying to add more character.

I’m thinking I may add a colorful tile behind the range then flank the sides with a vertical shiplap. Splurge on a nice tile then install affordable shiplap ourselves. I love cozy cottages and really want our home to feel worn and lived in. I thin I’d continue the shiplap behind the kitchen sink and do that whole wall too. Whatcha think?

Personalize your kitchen with stylish white cabinets, gold hardware, and cozy touches for a beautiful and functional space.

I think I’ll paint the island as well. Either a pretty sage green, coastal blue color or perhaps try the wood paint. Which one do you think would warm up the space?

Thanks for letting me chat through it. Here’s where we’re at today! LMK what I missed 🙂

It takes time to make a house feel like a home. Don’t rush it, enjoy the process. Thrifting is a great way to find treasures to keep forever or even to fill a need temporarily until you can afford your dream decor.

Personalize your kitchen by choosing stunning decor, stylish backsplashes, and modern fixtures for a beautiful and practical space.

KITCHEN CABINETS

We love our Lily Ann cabinets!

I’m still not done with the final look as I want to customize the hood and add trim to the top or take it all the way to the ceiling but they’re good quality and affordable.

BRASS KITCHEN CABINET HARDWARE

I added mixed brass hardware to the cabinets and am so happy with how they came together.

KITCHEN APPLIANCES

I’m so happy we went with white appliances. I’ve always loved white and feel like it’s classic.

We may end up wrapping the fridge in a matte white since my husband owns a film company but the gold handles on all the appliances are so stunning. I absolutely love them.
