Before…there was a wall, but I had Heber take it out, it was between the cabinets and the dining table.

After…looking into the dining room.

The process…super fun. At least I had Camille there to help get the first coat on.

After

Glass tile backsplash

So last weekend…my running partner, Camille came with me up to the cabin to help me start painting the kitchen cabinets. They turned out great!!! Of course they look way better in person. I think I need to have my photographer sisters come up and do my pictures justice. We went up in the middle of a snow storm with her two little kids…good times. Pulling them up in the sled with all the paint supplies and overnight gear and food up hill after we ran 8 miles earlier in the day was pure comedy!! Oh did I mention it’s a 1/2 mile from the parking lot up to the cabin.

I still need to grout the backsplash, but all in all you get the idea of what I am going for. We switched out the counter top to butcher block from IKEA. The backsplash is glass tile. I got it off buytile.com and it was free shipping with $150 purchase. I looked forever trying to find glass tile with turquoise and earthtones. This one didn’t have any white in it and I really wanted the white appliances to look like they belonged so I bought a sheet of white tiles and popped some out every so often and put in a white tile. We still need to install the sink…but hey with the water not on yet there’s no hurry right?

Now this weekend we are going to start refinishing the bathroom floor. We planned on tiling it… and bought all the supplies and hauled them all up there in the sled and started ripping up the sub floor and found the hardwood continued underneath. So Heber hauled all the tile back down to the car and I got to return everything and saved $200.

I have 23 yards of white linen that I am selling for $9/yd. Let me know if you are interested in all or part. My company messed up my order and sent me way too much. Anyhow it is the same white linen that I used on the couch and chair a few posts down. It is beautiful and is a nice heavy weight that works great for slipcovers and duvets.

Before, a chair inherited from my client’s grandma. Sturdy and great lines.

after…done in a black/white gingham cotton. We chose to let the legs show and not do a skirt. I just finished off the bottom with a row of piping.

I was able to let the wood arm show by leaving an opening. I piped around the opening to make it look more finished and to keep the underneath fabric from peaking out.
