LOOK WHAT'S COOKIN'

Well here's the latest new home update.

Boring builder kitchen transformed to an open concept (think NYC loft) inspired kitchen!

There's still plenty to do but this is the first reveal.

In the beginning...

In the process...

Before shelves...

We still needed more storage and I wanted to keep the concept open.

I always tend to add a *little* of the unexpected in my interior designs.

I fell in love with this orange stove!

It was one of my inspirations for this kitchen design... and no, it's not little :)

 Just beautiful craftsmanship.

I just love the uniqueness of the orange color.

Are you bold enough to put a bright orange stove in your kitchen?

The new drop-down, stand-alone hood was a major feature that had to be added to this kitchen.

The new hood and stove go perfectly together.

 Now the needed accessories.

 I chose these metal and wood stools for their industrial look.

I wanted the white to pop from the island's gray color.

 I really liked the natural element that the wood brings to the stools. 

It adds a softness to the industrial feel.

Adding another small pop of color to the walls brings in needed balance.

We had this amazing painting from a long-time artist friend.

It goes to show that you can incorporate items that you already have when you redesign your spaces.

Adding this new George Nelson inspired clock added a bit of a vintage look.

The stainless steel works with the appliances and you can't go wrong adding a retro piece to your home.

As you can see with the paint swatches still on the cabinets that we have much to do.

The next step is to paint the cabinets, add hardware, and find the perfect pendant lights.

The future plan is to also replace the existing countertops with quartz.

I hope you like the transformation as much as I do.

I know that a modern interior may not be everyones taste, but don't be afraid to think outside of the box.

Stay tuned for more upgrades coming soon.

Home renovations can take time and money.

If it's time to renovate or redecorate your home, remember that you can do it a bit at a time.

There are no rules that say you must do all the renovations at once.

If you have the funds and the time to do that, then by all means.  I just want you to know that there are always options. Sometimes you have to do it a step at a time and the results will still be fabulous!

Thank you for joining me on my journey!

Warmly, Mindy
