Spring Cure Kitchen Show & Tell
Apartment Therapy apparently had the same idea of Spring = Home Improvement at the same time as I did. They are starting their Spring Cure this week. Last time I tried “curing” I tried to do the whole house and finished nothing so this time I’m going for the One Room Remedy so that I still have time for my Overachievers Spring Cleaning and Moving Overseas purging.
The 1st assignment is Creating Your Vision: Show & Tell. This post is my response with the rest of my Kitchen inspiration photos attached. Also, GASP, a BEFORE photo revealing my current kitchen. Scroll to the end for the before in all its horrible glory (not).
1st photo, not happening in current house due to budget and construction constraints. But if we were building a kitchen from scratch in a new house it would look an awful lot like this.
Here’s another one featuring a beautiful Staub La Theiere Round Teapot
But here is the actual inspiration photo for our current kitchen. The cabinets are a similar shade and it has stainless steel appliances. It could probably be more minimalists by taking away some of the photo staging, but gives an idea where we’re headed.
And now for the before…
Note the ugly faux brick, wonderful vinyl flooring and white, beige and black appliances.
One-Room Remedy Week 1
- Choose one room. (Kitchen)
- Gather pictures of rooms you love. (See above)
- Start a style tray. (See my Polyvore Kitchen Style Tray)
- Visit your favorite home store. (Lowes online, because its still no-spending month and I can’t tempt myself in person.)
- Set your budget.
