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!

Holiday Home Tour 2021: Classic + Neutral Modern Christmas Kitchen

Kitchens deserve to be decked out for the holidays too! I love adding some holiday cheer to my kitchen through the greenery, wreaths, and a real Christmas tree. This space always ends up being the most simple and neutral of my Christmas spaces but still has plenty of cozy touches throughout! Below you’ll find pictures of items from this space you can shop as well as similar items too!

Fall Home Tour 2021: Cozy + Neutral Modern Farmhouse Kitchen

I love a cozy fall kitchen! Fall is the launch of the holiday season, and setting my kitchen up so that it’s a warm, inviting space really helps me set the tone for all the upcoming gatherings! I have a few new additions to the kitchen this year including a rug under the dining table, some lamps (LOVE a lamp in a kitchen- so unexpected but add so much coziness!), and some new framed prints throughout. I have linked all the items I used to decorate my space below as well as similar options for anything that is one-of-a-kind/vintage. Take a little tour of my autumn kitchen through the photos below!

Beautiful Home Organizing Challenge: How To Organize Your Kitchen

The next space up on our Beautiful Home Organizing Challenge is the kitchen! While we actually don’t have a ton of closed storage and traditional kitchen cabinets in our kitchen, we still have plenty of unique storage options that needed organizing! I’ll also take this week as an opportunity to show you all around our kitchen and how we make due with limited closed storage and make the most of open storage ideas.

Holiday Home Tour 2020: Kitchen and Dining Room

Next up on my Holiday Home Tour is our kitchen and dining room. There are SO many things I love about how this room turned out. The little black ribbon on the wreath about the fireplace was the inspiration that sparked the design for this room. I tucked real magnolia stems throughout both trees, and then tied on lots of different velvet ribbons in rich dark colors. Adding touches of real greenery to faux trees is one of my favorite design tricks! It helps fill out the trees and gives a richer, layered look.

Fall Home Tour 2020: Cozy Neutral Modern Farmhouse Kitchen

I’m wrapping up this year’s fall home tour with one of my favorite spaces in the house- our kitchen! Overall I keep this room pretty neutral but I am loving the addition of some pops of fall color throughout inspired by my new kitchen runner. I added a lot of faux and dried stems throughout as well as wreaths on the fireplace and window for simple pops of autumn texture and color. I also love accessorizing the open shelving in here too for each season. I’ve linked all my favorite pieces for you to shop below!

Holiday Home Tour 2019: Modern Farmhouse Christmas Kitchen

My kitchen is always one of my favorite areas to decorate for the holidays. This year I did a more neutral color scheme in here of all white, black, and pops of green. Our beautiful real tree and garland on the fireplace is courtesy of Hillenmeyer’s Christmas Shop and are definitely the highlights of the space. The quality of the greenery and our tree are above and beyond what I have gotten before at other stores and our tree still looks just as full and healthy as it did when we first got it! Not only is the quality top notch, but the experience you get at Hillenmeyer’s is just completely magical and so special! Every corner is photo worthy and they really put so much effort into making it a beautiful and inspiring space for all who visit. I can’t thank them enough for collaborating with me this year and making my Christmas decor a little more special.
