My Kitchen Refresh with Wow 1 Day Painting Lexington
I have been scheming on giving my kitchen a little refresh over the last year and with the new year kicking off, I was itching for a new house project! I enjoyed working with Wow 1 Day Painting Lexington so much last year and was thrilled to work with them again on this project. Since last working with them, they have added a slew of new services including trimwork, carpentry, drywall repair, framing, flooring, and more!
ORC Pantry Makeover- Week 8: Final Reveal of my Dream Vintage Cottage Pantry Makeover
The big reveal is finally here and I still can’t believe that we pulled this off in time! This space encompasses ME possibly more than any other room I’ve ever designed. In the midst of a challenging personal week, when I could’ve easily thrown in the towel, I threw all my emotion and energy into this space, and I think you can see that in every corner and detail. Not to mention, for the second time I failed to realize we were leaving on vacation in the middle of the final reveal week, cutting my time short (also did this with my playroom makeover on my first round in 2020!). Despite all that, we have a finished space that I am so proud of!
ORC Pantry Makeover- Week 7: Tablecloth Cabinet, Wallpapering Marathon, and Panic!
The final week of this year’s One Room Challenge is here and panic is starting to set in! I feel like I am more behind than I have ever been before, and it will truly be an impressive feat if I get this space completely done! This week has consisted of SO much work- painting, sanding, caulking, wallpapering, building, and more! Let’s talk about the tablecloth cabinet we’re building on one of the front walls!
ORC Pantry Makeover- Week 6: Fabric Selections
This week it’s all about the fabrics! I have been narrowing down options for the cabinet curtains and window cafe curtains. Shown below are some combinations I’ve put together with the wallpaper we are using in the space. The wallpaper and cabinet curtain will be on the same wall, but window curtains a little further away for reference. I originally was thinking of doing the same fabric for both but then found so many great options, I decided to mix it up!
ORC Pantry Makeover- Week 5: The Great Cabinet Color Debate!
It’s Week 5 and time to finally settle on a cabinet color! I have been going back and forth with this decision from the beginning but cabinets are going in next week and must be painted so I have to make the final call! My original inspo for this space had both dark and moody paint colors as well as these bright and fun, green and yellow colors. I ultimately settled on the brighter color scheme since I have so much vintage and retro dishware to display and I feel like it will flow better with my collections overall. Also it just makes me so happy to look at and I think that’s important!
ORC Pantry Makeover- Week 4: Sink Updates, Rearranging, + More!
I can’t believe we are officially halfway there in this year’s One Room Challenge! I am definitely feeling more behind than usual (which is saying A LOT) and it’s going to be a serious race to the finish line this year! Even though I do feel like I’m crawling along, we did accomplish a lot this week! The space is a MESS right now but for good reason- read along below for all the updates!
ORC Pantry Makeover- Week 3: My Perfect Facebook Marketplace Find + Cabinet Layout
This week I finalized and ordered all the cabinets for the back wall of the pantry which will house the bulk of the storage for the space. I was able to get ALL the cabinets (uppers and lowers) for over 12 ft of space for under $1,700! This was a big win for me if you know how expensive cabinets can be and I was still able to get exactly what I wanted. This was mostly made possible by another lucky Facebook marketplace find of these amazing antique glass front cabinets! I was able to get 4 for $175 each and they just happen to be the exact size I need to go all the way to the ceiling on the top half of the wall. They have the most beautiful paned glass fronts and even little drawers at the bottom of each! I couldn’t believe they fit the exact size I needed not only height-wise, but also are a standard width so I could get lower cabinets to match. These will all be stripped and refinished/repainted and new hardware added.
One Room Challenge 2023- Week 2: Wallpapers, Sinks, + More I’m Loving for the Pantry
This week I have been narrowing down selections for our pantry space and trying to build a general color scheme. As usual, I started with wallpaper to get inspired by the colors and prints! Not even sure exactly where we’ll be using this- whether on the walls, backsplash, or back of shelves, but definitely going to add some wallpaper accents somewhere! Check out some of my favorite picks so far below!
