Our New Kitchen

Our kitchen is finally finished! I can't tell you how pleased I am with how it turned out. Our contractor, Robert Shotlander, was so patient and went above and beyond to make sure the smallest detail was perfect.

The extension Robert built is perfect and we've eaten every meal there since it was installed. I found the stools at Tuesday Morning. They look identical to the ones I almost ordered for Wisteria, and they were half the price.

I love our new undermount sink and faucet. We were in desperate need of a new sink and faucet, and it's the little things that make all the difference.

 

Stone Interiors installed the marble countertops and they were so professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend using them!

What a before and after! I keep pinching myself when I realize this is our kitchen. Of course, we did it all on a budget. We kept our old appliances and didn't have any major changes to the cabinets, other than painting them and adding the extension. It was worth every penny since this is where we spend most of our time.

Oh, and I have to add...to see what our kitchen really looks like, you can come by any day of the week and see tons of toys on the floor—and bright colored sippy cups and baby food everywhere! All quickly stored away in the pantry for my silly little photo shoot!

Kitchen - Round 2

Our kitchen cabinets are painted and marble slab is picked out! Still waiting on the cabinet doors for the extension but all and all, a very productive week.

I went to Stone Interiors in Loxley, AL and picked out our marble slab for the countertops. It's called "white carrara venetian" and I liked it more than the regular carrara. It's not as gray as the other carrara (with some subtle warmer tones) and it's a little different from what you see all the time. Pictures never do it justice, but I'm telling you, I'm in love...

 

 The President of Stone Interiors, "G.K.," was so helpful and wonderful to work with.

 

We're moving along and hope to have it installed the following week. I CANNOT wait. Now I'm trying to figure out the kitchen stools. Who knew there were so many options!

My dad was in town last week and helped with Calder before he had to go back to work. Seriously, I don't know what I would have done without his help since at times, our house felt like a demolition.

and we had lunch with Lelia and Sarah yesterday. Our babies are growing up so fast. Isn't Lelia such a little beauty??

Headed to JuJu and Mack-Daddy's pool today. Calder gets to meet her second cousins (Henry and Kakhi) from Houston!
