So excited to be back this fall and to participate in the wonderful ORC!!!
For those of you that do not know what that is, Linda from the blog Calling it home is hosts this event in April and October and has 20 design bloggers join her in revamping or renovating a space.
It give people like me a good opportunity to whip a room into shape!
As you all know I will be transforming our outdated 1979 kitchen and bringing it back to life.
A few quick things.
1. countertops stay.
we just replaced BOTH our HVAC so ughh my 12,000 countertops are keeping me cool in the summer and toasty in the winter.
2.this house is the money pit,
so it is HIGHLY possible something crazy will pop up.
this could get way fun!!!
3. I have been dying to do this since we moved in 14 months ago!!!!
Now... lets get started!!
The layout of the space is remaining so here we are.
how hilarious is it that my child is shaking her groove thing while I took this picture. HA
This is the view from the front door entering the house.
I know you are sad this is going!
(cabinets are not in the best of shape so I will begin now filling in the holes and chunking this hardware)
reminding myself of the end......
In late April I had enough of budge matte walls so we went ahead and selected our wall color. We used Farrell Calhoun paint and the color is Bayou Shade by valspar.
(this is probably the truest depiction of the color)
So here we sit!
Over the next 5 weeks we will conquer:
backsplash
paint all cabinets
add molding throughout the space
refinish the table
make cushions and drapery for the space
build a kitchen island
Create a custom vent hood
Here are a few inspiration pics I keep going back to.
