We bought our first house (definitely a diamond in the rough to say the least) and I have been little by little working my way through it with DIY projects. I would have never even thought of trying without your blog to guide me and to also let me know it's ok when you mess up! Thanks again!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01619338608765453449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-60868017069975997942017-04-19T19:38:50.282-04:002017-04-19T19:38:50.282-04:00I told myself I wouldn't comment on one of you...I told myself I wouldn't comment on one of your posts until I could find the words to articulate how amazing I think you are, how keen I find your eye, and how inspired I am by your authenticity. <br /><br />I find myself in need of commenting though because I am re-doing my kitchen and need to know the cabinet hardware you chose. I love it and would love to use it in my own kitchen.

I realized your house looks very familiar and come to find out we were selling near each other last year! I hope you had a better experience than we did and I don't want to ever sale again LOL I am just glad we got off that busy road it gets crazier every time we drive that way! You get so lucky with thrift store finds when I go they don't have anything I need to go shopping with you HA! Anyways I love your style and how your new house is coming along :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828777864089823424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-55706453576732428082017-04-05T08:14:52.910-04:002017-04-05T08:14:52.910-04:00Your Kitchen is absolutely stunning !

We have been working on ours for about 3 months in the new house and let me tell you it can get very stressful at times with two little ones and Hubby doing all the work himself . I found your blog on pinterest while looking at paint colors and realized I have seen your home somewhere before ! Come to find out we were selling our homes about the same time last year near each other small world!

We are in the middle of a kitchen reno right now and I've already made a bunch of mistakes in ordering and missed a bunch of little things.. My new kitchen is being built 3000 miles away and I am so the type who needs to micro-manage, but now when things go wrong I at least get to spread my arms and say "Well see? I wasn't here!"<br /><br />As far as the pendant lights I can't wait to see what you choose! I went with simple glass shells/brass fittings and Edison bulbs to hold us over while I scourer the vintage shops. <br />Thanks for sharing and welcome back!

I was so glad to see that you were posting again, love to follow you and I'm a Tennessean implant too. One thing and don't know if you are interested or not but my Dad owns a cabinet/granite shop and we did the same thing and that is you can add a microwave kit to your micro cabinet that makes it seem built in as well just like the fridge, just some food for thought. Beautiful job and look forward to your new posts again.

Love the open feeling the shallow depth fridge brings to a small kitchen! Did a kitchen remodel recently, similar to yours, except went with black quartz counters and a medium brown floor. Very happy and think I will be able to live with it for years without having it feel dated.
