Kitchen Update

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

New cabinets, counters and banquette in our island home. Kept the sturdy appliances and well-loved terracotta floors. We wanted a better layout, easy care finishes and a coastal look that works in winter too. I am loving the cabinets from IKEA.

I really like those light wood cabinets and they go great with the back splash!

Thanks! The back splash was the hardest choice. We thought white or cream would be too bland with the light cabinets. So we picked a watery blue clay tile - goes with the ocean view and the texture is rustic like the floor.

Goes perfect with that beautiful view!
