PROJECT UPDATE

Hard to believe it's Friday....again.  I've been busy selling but when I look around I still see so much STUFF [see last post if you missed it!].

What's funny is that I get excited when I get 10.00 for something but geez.....I probably paid 100.00 for it....hahaha.

Anyway.....blah blah.

I have the final pictures of the project I have been working on for a while.  They are moving in this weekend....and I know they are excited.

I will start with the kitchen...

All lighting is from Circa Lighting.

Color of the cabinets is SW Mindful Gray and the walls are BM China White

Hardware is from Top Knobs.

Floors are 1/2 Jacobean and Dark Walnut

Countertops and backsplash is Caesarstone Calacatta Nuvo

Faucet is Rohl in polished nickel

Looking for runners.....

Right off the kitchen is a grilling porch....

Thru the kitchen is the DR and this bar area....

Antique mirror in the cabinets....and these Circa Lighting sconces are my new fav!  So Classic...

Cabinets and countertops are same as kitchen.

Do you remember the doors.....

They were refinished and hung!

Cabinets and hardware [Top Knobs] in the laundry room.

This is a desk area in her closet!

The master bath....

I had never heard of "sugar marble" but it's very pretty!

I love how they trimmed out the top of the mirrors to match the top of the cabinet on the right in the master.  Never underestimate the power of architectural details.....

The powder room gets measured for wallpaper this Sat.....

Of course the mirror came shattered....ugh

But another one is on the way!

Thoughts?  Favorite things about this project?

Needless to say it has been a busy week....and I have 2 more renovations going on....whew!

So here is some news....the Friar Tuck project sold!  Yup....and I don't get to decorate it which I am sad about.  They already have a "famous designer" that they work with.....

But here is some news....they are replacing the large Serena and Lily globes! There are 3 of them [one over the island].

Oh well.....

I hope y'all have a great weekend...I would enjoy it a lot more if THERE WASN'T A PANDEMIC.

Just saying.

BEACH RENTAL UPDATE

Sorry I missed Friday's post!  We got to the beach on Thursday and I think I just shut down for 24 hours:)

I couldn't  believe how different the kitchen looked!  I knew I hated it before.....but after the renovation I was amazed at how much bigger it appeared.

Remember.....I had to do this on a  strict budget!  

Doing this project long distance was hard for me but my contractor was amazing....I really lucked out.  Y'all remember how stressed I was over selecting SW Pure White.....well I am here to say all is well.

I don't have exact pictures of the before but I grabbed some from the rental website [as all of them look exactly the same].

After....minimal staging here cause I'm on vacation haha.

I'll say it again....paint is a huge game changer.....

Here is the before

If you look carefully you can see how the island is bar height which I am not a fan of at all!!!

Again not my unit but my exact kitchen!

Before....taking out the granite and backsplash!

After the counter was cut down.

I picked a subway tile just because it is classic and will stand the test of time....

Granite going in!

I also added some shiplap around the island as it was drywall before and got pretty beat up.

Barstools are from Four Hands that I had ordered for someone else but they didn't work.....turns out  they look great with the granite!

The granite is Alaskan White which after research is sometimes called Colonial White.  I had to use granite because it is the most durable for a rental and much cheaper than quartz.

I used my favorite Grohe faucet.....

I didn't change the hardware holes but I did go to chrome to brighten things up.....

We had to replace the wall oven and the cooktop so I used Kitchenaid.

I ordered EVERYTHING from Build.com except the backsplash: [Lowes] granite: SS Granite

Close up of the granite and backsplash.

Damn I'm still amazed when I look at it and I see kitchen reno's all the time!

Here is one more thing that finally got changed out after 11 years.....can you believe I waited that long?

This light fixture was in EVERY unit....

I picked up the one below [which was a floor model at the mart] for a couple hundred dollars!  Of course I smugly went to ship it and UPS wanted over 500.00.

Crikey.  Thankfully we managed to fit it in the car with the 3 barstools, all of the luggage and Cami!!

Y'all this was started on Nov 27th and we got here Dec 28th.  Can you believe it.  I mean there are a few things left to do but Chris worked day and night!  If you live in the Destin area here is his info.

 It is a balmy 32 degrees here yet there are people in the pool. Are you kidding me?

Hope y'all had a great New Years Eve.  So excited for 2018!
