Kitchen Inspiration Board

I knew right away when I saw this kitchen that I was going to keep the cabinet color.  It is similar to a Behr paint color called "green sleeves".


I also knew that the kitchen was a little like Julia Child's kitchen in Massachusetts.  I used pictures of her kitchen to make this inspiration board while we were waiting to take possession of the house and planning how to spend our money on the remodel.


So far we have

1. Removed the wallpaper and paint walls/trim
2. Added the island and office nook cabinets
3. Added granite countertops
4. Switched out the lighting
5. Jon put in the tile backsplash
6. Refinished the parquet floors
7. Put in new gas cooktop, oven, dishwasher, and microwave
8. Jon plumbed the new sink, faucet, and garbage disposal together
9. Installed new lighting
10. Installed a hidden sliding garbage/recycle system in a cabinet

We still need to
1. Paint the island and office nook cabinets
2. Fix some of the plug covers to hide rough tile edges
3. Ask the appliance store eight more times to add the missing oven vent cover and broken lights
4. Get a chair for the built-in desk
5. Add window treatment and other accessories to make things pop
