If I was excited to share yesterday’s post with you, I am even more excited to share today’s! Just before the snow started to fall last year I told you all about our plans to give our dining room and living room a little refresh (you can read all about it here and here). For a long time, well…ever since moving into our home, this open concept space has just felt unfinished and not quite right.
We’ve tried different furniture placement and a few new accessories, but I always struggled with the overall look. I am a firm believe in taking your time while creating a livable home. You want your space to feel cohesive and collected, as if it was put together over time. You want it to consist of all of your favorite and most loved items – new and old. So as much as I wanted it to feel “done” I tried my best not too hurry the process.
But I think I finally have it. That’s not to say new pieces won’t come and go over the months and years, but it finally feels cozy and comfortable and just right for our family.
Today is a happy day! Today I am finally sharing with you our newly painted kitchen. It’s been a long time coming, and you might recall seeing a little sneak peek during our Christmas home tour.
You may remember me telling you a few months ago that we were ready for a change. When we moved into our home, every single room was painted Shaker Beige by Benjamin Moore. It’s a beautiful neutral, but we were craving a bit of variety. We started with the bedrooms. The nursery was painted Sweet Celadon by Benjamin Moore, you can see our gender neutral safari nursery here. Our bedroom (see our Romantic Farmhouse Bedroom here) was next, we chose a soft and soothing neutral called Balboa Mist, again by Benjamin Moore (truly, they are our favorite paint company).
It was finally time to tackle our main living space, that includes our kitchen, upstairs and downstairs hallway, living room and dining room. I wanted a more modern feel, something that was bright and airy, yet still warm and inviting.
