After being without a kitchen for a couple of weeks during this whole renovation process at my family home, my parents are glad to finally see some progress!
But thankfully it was fairly easy to put back in place. Just missing the actual fire part….
I love this tile. The pattern is so subtle and yet interesting at the same time. And it really has spruced the place up. The only one who seems to be missing the linoleum is Whiskey – he used to get so much more traction when he was chasing Shadow and now his little legs go all over the place. But he’ll just have to get used to it.
For the past sixteen years almost everything in our house (and our cottage) has been painted some variation of this yellow colour – or as our mother corrects us all the time – “Butternut Cream”. (With the exception of my dad’s office which he painted this bold “Ox Blood Red”…he’s colourblind so it was the colour that “stood out to [him] the most”. Lets just say that it is VERY red). Its time for a change, so to go with the new flooring they choose Benjamin Moore’s “Kangaroo” (left) for the kitchen and “Natural Linen” (right) for the nook. This picture doesn’t really do justice to how beautiful these colours are. Sorry, I was having colour balance issues.
Be sure to check back next week when the kitchen starts to come back together (Having a sink and stove again! yay!) and the paint goes up on the walls. Plus a few little last minute surprises.
An you can read Part One and Part Two to catch the progress that’s been made so far 🙂
