Speaking of dreams, I would lvoe to redo my kitchen and my floors... but logistically, I'm not sure we're quite there yet. I'm not really very useful when it comes to home renovations and my husband can only do so much on his own. But one day. One day my kitchen, and floors, will look like this.<br />xox,<br />CeeCeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822990898186192908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408906677306311135.post-8580939877564104522014-09-10T17:03:52.158-05:002014-09-10T17:03:52.158-05:00LOVE the light and airy feel of that kitchen -- an...LOVE the light and airy feel of that kitchen -- and the gorgeous cupboards--and the island with seating!!

He built the most beautiful cabinets and it makes me sad that he isn't here to make cabinets for my future kitchen. Luckily, I have some light fixtures that he made before he passed away that I will be incorporating into my future house. I did learn something from him though: choose a hard wood(like oak) because it will hold up a lot longer than other types of wood. I know cherry is pretty but its just not practical for a kitchen!<br /><br />-Lara @ Methodical Living<br />http://methodicalliving.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14670176380252966327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408906677306311135.post-64432467250380520632014-09-10T12:18:28.723-05:002014-09-10T12:18:28.723-05:00Avoiding the faulty measurement trap is such a gre...Avoiding the faulty measurement trap is such a great trip and one that I need to remember next time.

Hahaha, how wrong we were. I did now that each step would pretty much count as a day, but what I didn't think about was how long it would take to actually cut all of the wood to go around door frames and the built-ins.<br /><br />Our kitchen "remodel" wasn't quite that extensive, but one thing I'd recommend is thinking about the lighting in your room. A lot of people overlook that until the end, when it's a lot easier to put it in your plans up front.Paige @ Little Nostalgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978050087934003216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408906677306311135.post-67047215385222531622014-09-10T08:11:13.192-05:002014-09-10T08:11:13.192-05:00That is a great looking kitchen!

It must be wonderful to have that space to cook in :)<br />One thing I'm glad I thought of was getting extra sockets - so useful with the appliances I sometimes need to use at the same time!Dunihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14273071467750510363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408906677306311135.post-76658187981515929562014-09-10T07:30:32.569-05:002014-09-10T07:30:32.569-05:00Oh my goodness...look at all that space!

I wish my kitchen was all open like that!<br />One thing I would definitely do if we ever redid our kitchen is get the foil treatment on the cupboards. We did this in my studio and I LOVE it! I love white cabinets, but they can show dirt easily. The foil wipes off so easily and stays looking crisp and clean like white should.<br />And you're so right about projects taking more time than you originally plan. My whole studio was this way!Memories for Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677127617656258362noreply@blogger.com
