Do you ever have those days where everything seems to be difficult and everything seems to not go your way? Well....that seems like my everyday anymore. Every time I plan anything....nothing seems to go as planned. My time just slips away and before you know it....it's 2am in the morning. Enough on that......as promised.... the start of the tour of the home that I remodeled. Enjoy!
I had some Beautiful bronze trim that ran along the hood in that space that would have tied the iron together, but my client's husband decided he wanted the hood to be simple. I kind of think it needs that bit of bronze.....
I did all of the finish on all of the cabinets icluding this gorgeous island. I used a stencil on the doors with a rubbed gold paint. And the island legs just speak for themselves. The legs are on the other end as well. I also higlighted them with the gold as well. The base on the island was a chocalate paint with a black glaze. Of course...I hand distressed all of the cabinetry. here is a little secret.....the gorgeous hardware is from Hobby Lobby for $2.99 and that not even the sale price. If I had got it on sale it would have been $1.50! I blackened it and added the rubbed gold as well.
Ok now this little cabinet was built to cover there phone/security system. Plus it acts as a catch all station where the can charge there phone, leave the keys.ect.ect. I left the iron open so they could here there system, but it cleverly masks the ugliness of it. Love it!
As you can see....quite a bit different. We moved the stove to this main wall so it would be the focal! I was also able to include a walk in pantry with the new design. This ends the tour for today! Off to more projects!!!!
OMG!!!!!!!! You are amazing. What a transformation. It looks like a totally expensive, different house. The homeowner must absolutely love being in her kitchen now. I totally want to do that gold stencil on my island now. And the hardware, wow!!!

I love this kitchen so much - you have no idea! Will you please tell me what paint colors you used and how you faux painted the walls? I've been searching for a terra cotta/rust color but I'm scared to pick the wrong one so I just keep staring at white walls... Thanks!

Gorgeous kitchen. I'm also interested in the wall colors for the kitchen. I've got cream cabinets and a black island. I'm a do-it-yourselfer, and have done a little faux painting in my house, but really love that splash of color. Any chance you would share the colors you used in there? I usually end up with about 5 sample colors before I get it right :) Thanks!
