So we've been working on the kitchen. The house is circa 1925 and was owned by a photographer. I can't take any credit for seeing the beauty in its purchased state, considering I'm a newer addition than the cat, but I have seen an impressive transformation. When I came into the picture, even in the 'friends' regard, there were awkwardly placed walls and ugly carpet. I was called upon, with some flattery by my brother, to help design the kitchen. Fast forward a few months and I was helping pick everything from the wall colors to the lighting fixtures- so that it would feel more like 'my home.'
He appreciates my input and likes my ideas. He isn't afraid to say 'no,' but he's also tries everything once- and is learning to trust.
Original cabinets, refinished & distressed- no thanks to Martha's paint
Chocolate Truffle under Heavy Cream
Cappuccino Walls
Oil Rubbed Bronze pulls
Crown molding & full-size-bed peninsula courtesy of my brother
in HD Laminate in Deepstar Flint- the hardest choice yet...
Refinished original floors that came out amazing
Cast Iron Sink (with Pebblz mat) & Oil Rubbed Faucet
Now to order the back splash...something like this...
pick up two more bar stools...
and install the base board...
So maybe it isn't such a short list...
