My dear friend (and former co-worker) Julie moved from Denver to Oregon a couple of years ago and purchased her dream home.
And then…
Water.
As in, a flood in her new home.
Ugh.
Julie moved out and let the remodeling begin.
After much blood, sweat, and tears, she is finally back in her home, and it is better than ever!
She shared some pictures with me, and with her fall décor added, the result is super cozy.
If you’re looking for inspiration for a kitchen update, or enjoy peeking inside someone else’s home (like I do!), you might love seeing what she has done.
Kitchen Cabinets and Flooring
I don’t have all the details on the materials Julie selected, but I love the combination of warm wood tones throughout the kitchen.
The cabinetry and flooring create an inviting look without making the space feel too dark.
Her flooring is LVP and her cabinet color is English Chestnut.
Countertops and Backsplash
The beautiful light quartz countertops look clean and crisp against the gorgeous green subway tile backsplash.
And Julie has warmed things up even more with pretty fall lighting and a few pumpkins.
A perfect combination!
Lighting
It looks like Julie gave a lot of thought to lighting throughout the kitchen, with fixtures over the counters, under-cabinet lighting, and overhead illumination.
And that chandelier over the dining table?
Be still, my heart.
I have always been a fan of round dining tables, and this spot looks like the perfect place to sit with a cup o’ somethin’ and solve a few world problems.
The Bar
Julie has a bar!
This little space is just perfect, with a wine fridge and a place to display her beautiful barware.
Add a lush fall garland and a small lamp, and I think this little corner steals the show.
It’s those thoughtful finishing touches that make a house feel like home.
Appliances and Storage
I know Julie enjoys prepping and cooking her own meals, so the top-of-the-line appliances don’t surprise me.
But I especially love the pantry and cabinetry surrounding the refrigerator.
Everything looks beautifully integrated, and I imagine it makes the kitchen both functional and lovely.
A Happy Ending
Thank you, Julie, for sharing your remodeling journey with me and, now that it’s finally over, for letting me share it here.
After such an unexpected beginning in her dream home, it’s wonderful to see how beautifully everything came together.
And, btw, any reporting errors are completely mine!
And thank you all for being here with me and enjoying a peek at a kitchen that is not mine!
May God bless and keep you.
