A Labor of Love

Welcome to our 110 yr old new/home, here is how it all went down. We bought the house. Agreed that we would furnish it with existing furniture and do the minimum to fix it up but…who were we kidding?  Immediately, the kitchen had to be addressed and so, in less than a month, we designed it, ordered it and, within a weekend, installed it.

The kitchen before…

and the kitchen after, KraftMaid cherry cabinets in Peppercorn with glass inserts…

Liebherr refrigerator; loved it for the height and modern clean look but have since learned to hate it…

Bertazzoni Master Series gas stove and stainless Zephyr hood…

The sink side – Before

And after with Bosch dishwasher and KWC sink all in stainless steel…

Although I really wanted white Carrera countertops, I was convinced by many (including my husband) that my obsession with keeping everything spotless wouldn’t be a good match for the very porous material and so we settled on this Kashmir White granite.

I Love how it all came together but mostly, I love that aside from installing the granite, we did it all ourselves.  Would love to hear what you think?!
