French Glam Kitchen progress and planning our Vintage farmhouse dining room!

When we first looked at this house, we immediately saw potential in this kitchen, with its workable layout and beautiful windows. As it cried out to me, "Make me over!", I knew it was something we could handle and not need to spend an arm and a leg, and my wheels started turning. I pictured light and airy, but still warm and inviting with cream cabinets and a floor that resembled drift wood, and some sort of glam glass tile back splash. Here we are 2 months later, plan played out, and loving it! My advice for kitchens, and any room really. Choose style buzzwords, pick 3 colors, and stick to it. Your space will evolve, but you want to always have strong buzzwords, and 3 colors, and try not to deviate.

 

 

Dining room Before

Peek at Dining room details as it comes together, and will hopefully be done soon.

For the dining room, we chose a soft grayish blue, which came out great! I wanted the vintage farmhouse feel to permeate this lovely space.

 We are also in the process of completely remodeling our tiny powder room off the kitchen. Here is a before photo:

Below is what it currently looks like, boy included. Carson is constantly in there scrubbing his hands like a cute little germaphobe. We loooove the modern clean look of white subway tile with black grout, so we went with it, replaced the toilet and vanity and continued the rustic wood tile from the kitchen into the powder room. Big difference - much more light airy, clean, and modern. More details to come!

 Stay tuned and thank you so much for visiting our family blog! God bless!

Just had to include a photo of Clara holding her 1st shopkins box, which she's been begging me to buy for her! I may have to create a post entirely dedicated to kid's toys and my rules of thumb when it comes to organizing kid's clutter and the inevitable accumulation of kid's toys. We're in a good habit of not buying toys unless it's for birthdays, holidays, or the occasional reward for amazing behavior.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by, and have an inspiring weekend! Hope you enjoyed our kitchen and dining room progress! God Bless!
