First pics..... :)

So here we are so far:)
Still need:
 Paint, counter tops, faucet, back splash, crown molding, hardware and a kitchen island:)
 
 
But how much do you love this table?? I bought this from Chris at Uber Chic Home.
He always has the coolest stuff that he finds in Europe and brings it back
here for all of us to enjoy:)
Aaaanyway, I'm calling this the gathering table. If you look close, you can see a tiny
piece of blue tape on the floor where the kitchen island will go over in front of the sink:)
I wanted a separate space where everyone could hang out but wouldn't be
in the way of the cookin! 
 
 
Speaking of cookin....!!! GASP!! It's here.
It's finally here:)
I've been thinking long and hard at what fabulousness I was going
to cook on her for the first time.
Boiled eggs.
I know. Totally LAME!!
I told that beautiful gal to just wait one more week and we're
gonna cook up a FEAST!!

 
My laundry room:) sans wood counter tops. They're a comin!
I'll tell you what, I have not quit doing laundry since Friday when
my machines got hooked up.
I want to live in here.....
 
 
Because here's the "living" room:( where flooring is still being ripped out and redone.
Look at my paint color on the wall back there by Jesus.
Sherwin Williams - Windsor Greige:)
It's my current fave, and I'll be using it pretty much everywhere:)


So there you have it. It looks chaotic and it is. But man! I'm counting my blessings
that we're this far!! :)

  7. I love, love, love it! Your taste is amazing and your husband's skills are amazing, too. I have a question for you. Your cabinet color looks creamy in the photos. Do you use the same paint color on your trim? Or can you have creamy cabinets and white trim? Yes, I am decorating challenged. :)

    1. Hi Tracy!
      Yes, I used the same color on my cabs as my trim.
      Benjamin Moore- Swiss Coffee. It's my go-to creamy white.
      Yes, you can mix all kinds of whites! I just stick to what works for me:)
      Ya know, the whole if it ain't broke thing.... :)

  9. Simply gorgeous!! I have a silly question...I see you have recessed lighting, what brand and color are your bulbs? My husband just installed a few in our house and I can't seem to find a bulb that doesn't give off a strange, orangish glow. It's like I'm living in a warehouse for Pete's sake. Thanks so much!

  19. WOW!!! Everything is beautiful (but I didn't expect anything less). The hood is beautiful... your hubby is very talented. I don't know how y'all stand everything in a mess... I freak out when I paint one room and things are scattered. haha!! But, know that it will all be worth it in the end.

    Also ~ ~ love your green purse ;)

  20. Absolutely love your new kitchen! And what's not to love about a great laundry room? Heaven knows how much time we spend in there.

    We painted the main living area on our first floor with Windsor Greige. In our home, it takes on a greenish look. Maybe it's my computer monitor, but the color looks more brownish. It is a great neutral color, but I was hoping for a more gray look. It also changes color from day to night.

  22. Hi Dorie,

    You have great taste lady. I am hoping to copy you on a kitchen reno. I contacted Dave at Denovo for a quote but he said he doesn't include hardware... Would you be willing to share your hardware source? Thanks in advance.
