new kitchen sink
The measurements were taken for our new counters last week and they are currently being fabricated. I am just about bursting to see them installed. I know it’s going to make a big difference in the look of our kitchen and it’ll be exciting to see such a large piece of my design plan finally […]
dining room | new arrangement & plans
This squared-shaped dining room has been a little tricky to figure out, but I think I’m getting a little closer. The primitive blue hutch has felt wrong from the beginning, but it’s what I had and I needed time to live in the space and think about it before I bought anything new or made […]
