One Room Challenge Fall 2018: The BIG REVEAL

I did it. We did it. Everyone did it. It truly took a village to get this One Room Challenge finished.  

We did get the interior done with a little punch list as to be expected but, the exterior is still ongoing.

I am over the moon to finally have a working kitchen again.

My children are looking forward to a home cooked meal for the first time in a very long time.

I am going to even attempt Thanksgiving at our house. Cooking lessons needed.

Without further ado, I present our new kitchen.

Outdoor Fixtures:

They are by Craftmade. I chose the The Wolford Sconce  because I love the combination of black and brass with the seeded glass. They are perfectly transitional. You can find them HERE. These are not installed but I will share as soon as they are!

Reminder: here are the before images of the kitchen, breakfast room, laundry room and porch that are the area I renovated. The porch was actually removed for the addition.  Our outdoor plan and landscaping has gotten way behind. The entry looks straight down the hall through to the current kitchen.

    Cat

    You astonish me. Simply wonderful, but ‘simply’ is diametrically opposed to what you have done, to your style, to your range. I came to your site several ORCs ago, and am consistently delighted with your restrained maximalism, your use of color, your sheer bravery, and the results you achieve. Enjoy the holiday you so richly deserve!

  • November 9, 2018

    Gorgeous! Congratulations on being able to cook. This is a stunning transformation that flows from each reach room into the next. I love all of the spaces and imagine laundry will be more pleasant in this beautiful room. Great job.

  • November 10, 2018

    From the barstools to the lighting…I love everything. The Hudson Valley chandelier reminds me of Christian Louboutin spikey heels. Incredible!

  • November 10, 2018

    This is amazing! But then you can do no wrong! Everything turned out stunning!
