Wonderful! It’s looking so beautiful. You must be so excited!

I can’t wait to see the backsplash, tell them to hurry up. :D

An old post office look is not necessarily a bad thing! Those counters are going to be the bomb!

Love the wood tops!

The perimeter counters/ work surfaces are Deckton porcelain in very light gray/ beige. The brick backsplash grout is the same color as the cabinets.

I would love a post office-y kitchen DLM 😁

And yes—I’m beyond excited!

SO exciting for you....remind me of your cabinet color again?

It’s coming along! Love the walnut!

Its gorgeous and its not even done! Love all your choices. I bet it smells good too. I love the new smell of anything wood.

It's going to be gorgeous!!

This is so exciting! I love the walnut counters. I love walnut anything. Beautiful choices!

It’s looking great-love the walnut countertops.

The cabinet color is Benjamin Moore Senora Gray, Lizzie, but the name is misleading as it is a very warm color, almost a latte hue.

Thank you all! I was SO nervous about designing this all myself. Kitchen surfaces and fitted units are not something you want to get wrong. 😳

The spigot for our instant hot water finally arrived today and will go in tomorrow. We’ve been waiting for it since the first week of September with delay after delay. There are very few mfgs of polished nickel specialty spouts so we had no choice but to wait.

I’m also excited that my two new closet shelves will be available to pick up from CC next week. I have so much fall/winter stuff that has to be folded and flat that I took down a hanging rod and will have two new large shelves for all the knitwear. Come summer I will store those clothes and shelves and restore the rod for hanging.

The big reno projects have me thinking about the small ones that have a disproportionately large impact on daily life. When we moved the lantern (over the table) in the living room I had them take out wall controls for the house wide speaker system. We don’t use it because we have Sonos in every room and that’s one less visual distraction on the wall.

Oooh! So excited for you! It is going to be beautiful.

That's so exciting and beautiful.

It will be just gorgeous!

Looks great. Your floors are what I'd like to change ours to if I can get DH on board. He saw some unstained and wanted that. We were looking for upstairs bedrooms, and that would be fine up there, but not with the floors we have downstairs, so everything stalled.

Love it! The walnut and cabinet color are perfect roommates. :-) You've done a great job designing this.

The big reno projects have me thinking about the small ones that have a disproportionately large impact on daily life. This, this, this. I've made a few changes lately in anticipation of a kitchen remodel, including installing outlets in a small pantry. I won't need them just yet, but the pantry is getting an overhaul now.

Getting closer!

So pretty! Love the color and wood countertops!

Love the range hood!

I’m swooning!

Thank you! I am thrilled so far, and super excited about the backsplash tomorrow!
