Our Kitchen Reveal (Finally!!)

Our Kitchen Reveal (Finally!!)

If you’re new here & you’re curious about our renovation, start here.

I can’t even begin to describe how excited I am to be revealing our brand new kitchen in it’s entirety. I feel like I’ve talked ad nauseam about the ins and outs and behind the scenes of our kitchen renovation. So it feels next level lovely to be sharing the final photos at long last. I’ve been referring to it as a kitchen with character, and I’m loving every inch of it.

If you’ve been a reader for any length of time, you’re likely well aware of the back and forth we’ve gone through when it came to renovating our home. We weren’t sure we felt like undergoing a major renovation, financially, emotionally and metally (largely mentally), because we weren’t sure how much longer we’d live here. But I’m here to tell you that pulling the trigger was the best decision we’ve made. So if you’re on the fence, let this be your sign to go for it. I secretly wish we had just done it ages ago.

SHOP THE LOOK:

Though renovations aren’t exactly an enjoyable process at times, I’m coming up short when trying to put into words how it feels to be using our kitchen now that it’s complete. To be frank: this renovation has completely changed the energy of our home – perhaps even our lives. I actually didn’t realize how many small daily annoyances our old kitchen possessed until they were no longer an issue. It has been a process, there’s no question, but it has been worth every potential grey hair along the way.

This renovation has completely changed the energy
of our home – perhaps even our lives.

Our new kitchen has since become our favourite spot in our home. Aesthetically, there’s no question that the upgrade has been profound (the art, from this talented local artist, is currently stealing the show for me). But, functionally, life has gotten significantly better too. Proper lighting, level floors (remember this? ha), drawers that glide like a dream, appliances that work exactly as they’re supposed to… A kitchen sink that fits multiple pots and pans at a time (I’m convinced I could bathe in this thing I swear), dreamy hardware that feels luxe to the touch… A seamless backsplash that can be wiped down in a split second… Transforming this space from one that gets the job done, into one that feels like a haven is a result of all of these beautiful details.

I find myself cooking more frequently. The urge to bake has exploded exponentially. And the little nook has already been home to some of life’s best memories. Plus, I love that we haven’t gotten rid of the the 130 year old character that’s been innate to our home. It’s all been so great, and I’m excited to finally be able to share the results.

There you have it. Our kitchen with character, revealed. Thanks so much for following along, and for all of the love you’ve shared with me during the process. It hasn’t gone unnoticed and it means the world. I still have a few posts planned, but if you have any specific questions or comments let me know and I can made sure to address them.
