The View Mid-Way Through & Thoughts re: Open Shelving

May 13, 2015 by Allison Hudson

I couldn’t resist a little Before & After indulgence as our updated kitchen begins to take shape! Because we are past all demo, and are at the turning point before starting to really fill back in, this feels like the appropriate place for a mid-way update. I also wanted to share a peek before the walls and ceiling are closed back up to show how open (or floating) shelves come to be. As you can see above, the cabinet to […]

May 2, 2015 by Allison Hudson

Finally because, when we first looked at the home, we had mixed feelings towards the kitchen, I (thought I) loved it as it was, Paul liked some elements but knew it needed work.
