Happy SUNday! – Kitchen Reno

January 19, 2025January 19, 2025Chris and Carol 1 Comment

Almost finished. Just a few more details and our kitchen renovation will be completed. Yeah us!

We installed the Cafe induction range, Ikea cabinets, stainless steel tile, marble slab backsplash, and Hauslane vent hood.

Marble slab tiles and a hickory butcher block work surface.

I’ll share more pictures of the other side of the kitchen soon. It’s more fun when you do it yourself.

Thanks for stopping by, Chris

Happy SUNday! – new stainless steel tiles

July 3, 2022July 3, 2022Chris and Carol Leave a comment

Another big step in our kitchen reno today as I’m finally able to install the 6 x 6-inch stainless steel tiles under the vent hood. I painted the wall with Sherwin-Williams Tricorn Black (6258) since I won’t be using grout to fill any gaps and seams between the tiles I wanted to “hide” the background wall. I’ll be sure to post new pics once the tiles are all in place (I’ll see if my no-grout decision was the right one).

The tiles are from http://www.stainlesssteeltile.com

The countertop on the left is Silestone quartz and on the right is a hickory butcher block countertop.

The walls on either side of the tiles will be covered with large marble slabs (12 x 24-inch) again with no grout between the joints. I’ll be sure to post updates soon. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day! – Chris

Hunter Aerodyne 52 inch fan (model 51315).

We’re on the final stages of a pretty big kitchen and dining room renovation and while I was assembling another fan for the kitchen this made me smile.

I hope everyone is having an enjoyable day and most importantly, staying safe. We’re entering the final stages of a kitchen and dining room refresh and paint is finally hitting the recently barren walls. We decided on a Sherwin-Williams paint color called Smoky Blue (SW 7604) in a matte finish and we couldn’t be happier with the color and the changes it made in the rooms.
