Back To Square One

Lately, I have been revisiting kitchens

my favorite kitchen has been nixed due to the cost prohibitive marble floor.

Somewhat bummed…

my Banker and I have decided that we will not proceed with a kitchen remodel until we fall in love again…

{with a kitchen! that is.}

Some of my Plan B ideas include…

A lighter, Belgium-Swedish-French worn floor like this one…

But again, I am having a difficult time finding the finish and stain I  love.

Light aged & painted cabinets possibly in Benjamin Moore’s Classic Gray?

It appears very neutral with very little gray in my dimly lit kitchen.

(but you know me and paint, scary!)

I love this mosaic tile backsplash especially with vintage finish cabinets but is not one of my plans because…

 

Marble countertops are a definite.

So is a celebration when it’s done.

On my list are cabinets to the ceiling, some open shelving & some glass.

My current cabinets do not go to the ceiling which I think makes my kitchen even smaller.

A farmhouse sink.

 

Gold accents.

 

A neat hood.

A table and chairs instead of an island is something I would like to do but not sure I can sacrifice the storage an island provides.

It will be interesting to see what part of Plan B comes to fruition.
