#projectfhdkitchen update + kitchen vision
Wednesday, June 15, 2016 by {darlene}

I am excited to be updating you on my kitchen project!

I have been really silent about it because that is very much a part of my creative process. If I get too much input, I have learned, I start to lose track of what I really LOVE and start to settle for things I just “like.” So…. I have not asked for many opinions, and I think it has been paying off.

I am happy to share a few of my latest decisions!!

Some of my choices (kinda clockwise):

1. matte black subway tile on the main kitchen wall and another accent wall

2. (not pictured) painted white brick will be on some of the other walls, and I am excited about that textural element

3. We picked our marble and I am so in LOVE! The piece is a Calacatta Altissimo, and this is probably my biggest splurge in the entire kitchen. And YES, I know about the risks of marble, so don’t tell me. MWAH!

Here is another pic of our slabs over on Instagrammy.

4. Feast on my future floors. YAY! I have loved these floors for a LONG time and I am just gonna go ahead and GO FOR IT! We are reusing our current oak floors in the parlor and dining room, and replacing our slate (I won’t miss you: dear, cold, hard floors that hurt my back!) kitchen floors with oak. Then we will be giving all of the oak floors this pretty treatment!

5. My hood! This is what my range hood is going to look like, except instead of black, it will be white – to pop out against my black subway tile.

6. I am 80% sure I am going with French Gray from Farrow and Ball for our cabinets. I am also considering Cromarty and Lamp Room Gray.

7. It will be different, but the main wall of my kitchen will have this awesome, contrast-y feel.

8. Love the white and black and brass and wood feel!  That is my main palate.

9. Definitely doing a built in banquette with channeled seat cushions. Hooray!

*******

Since our kitchen is COMPLETELY EMPTY right now, I cannot wait to see this come to fruition. We are about 2 months out of seeing that happen (yes. You read that right. I will be KITCHENLESS for 2 months!!)

That is the latest on our evolving project!! I will also continue to share updates on my Instagram feed. See you there as well! HUGS!

  • I am in LOVE with your hood! And the rest is not too shabby, either. So glad this is happening for you, darling!

  • It looks very YOU! I can’t wait to see the finished product!
    I wish I lived nearby; I’d have you over while you’re kitchenless. We could eat and watch the two year olds play!
    Do keep us posted on the progress!

    Darlene, this kitchen is going to be fabulous! I do the same thing when I work on personal projects in regards to being quieter and focusing on what I truly want and it always pays off in the end. This kitchen is so you, and I love it.

  • Darlene,
    I’m So excited for you. You’ve waited a long time for a new kitchen and I really love your choices. I’ll bet you were really excited just having the wall removed! We just had new granite counter tops installed that resemble marble and also new subway tile. Even that was a mess but well worth it. I hope you show lots of pics! Keep posting!

  • I LOVE it all! So happy for you! We just renovated our new-to-us farmhouse. I was able to salvage the original 100-year-old wood floors under the kitchen tile and paint them black and white checkerboard. Like you, It’s something I’ve absolutely loved and wanted to do for years! You won’t regret it. If you haven’t already decided on products to use my Benjamin Moore store-owner recommended their Super Spec Urethane Alkyd Gloss Enamel. So far so good 🙂 Here’s the link to our FB page for the reno that has pics of the floor if you’re interested: https://www.facebook.com/middlebrookroadrenovations/

    Hang in there! 2 months will be over before you know it!

  • Your kitchen will be stunning! I think your idea of radio silence in order to stay true to self is smart. My personal style is not very trendy or “in” right now, but I can appreciate the current aesthetic (industrial/rustic/farmhouse), which sometimes leads me astray from my personal taste. Can’t wait to see the outcome!

  • So gorgeous! I am excited for you too! Those finishes are timeless-loving the matte black tiles and I have soft spot in my heart for black and white check floors.
