Kitchen before + inspiration

March 13, 2017 by Fotini Filed Under: kitchen Leave a Comment

Boy, I feel like this post has been a long time coming! As a matter of fact, it has! I have wanted a white kitchen for as long as we’ve lived in this house, nearly 5 years! It wasn’t exactly something I was willing to take on by myself, so I was thrilled when I started dating my sweetie, and it was something he was willing to take on and complete with me! Why did I want a white kitchen so bad? Because it was the only part of the house that just didn’t fit. My entire house has a very neutral, white- centered design and the kitchen cabinets were maple. Yes, maple cabinets, hideous white bathroom backsplash and an even more hideous green countertop. It could be worse, but this was pretty bad!

Our kitchen is the center of our home and where we spend a good bit of our time. We are constantly hosting family gatherings, dinners and birthdays throughout the year, so the kitchen is the main hangout spot. I was dying for it to blend in with the rest of the house! And after countless months, my dreams began to come true! We started our #farmhousechicblogreno! Bye-bye maple cabinets and hello white beauty!

If you follow along with me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen the inspiration board pic I created and shared not too long ago. If not, here’s what I’ve based my kitchen design off of.

Here’s a run through of what we will be doing: painting the cabinets white, adding crown molding, building a custom range hood, white subway tile backsplash, new countertops, shiplap island and eat-in dining wall, painting walls and trim and updated lighting.

I will be sharing more details as we complete them! I hope that you will follow along with me for my exciting kitchen renovation!

Make your area rug cozy again!

December 2, 2016 by Fotini Filed Under: home decor 1 Comment

Let me ask you a question.. Do you have an area rug in your home? For many of us, the answer will be “yes!”. In our home we have hardwood floors throughout the entire house, absolutely no carpet! I love it, really I do! But, I also love adding area rugs to pull together my designs and cozy up the room! However, for the last 4 years, we have dealt with an area rug that shifts because the floor is a slick surface, and it’s enough to drive anyone nuts! I even use those basic cut-to-size rug pads, but they don’t do the job.

Not to mention, those rug pads end up curling up underneath the rug and create bumps in the area rug, yuck! As you can tell, I’m totally not a fan… After those experiences, I was ready to give up on area rugs in my home. Then, I came across a rug pad that would change the game entirely!

Hello beautiful! I hope you’re doing wonderful today! Things have been hectic around our house, which seems to be the norm lately! I’ve been having a harder time than usual adjusting to blog deadlines, decorating and balancing my home. It’s gotten a little overwhelming at times, and I’m trying to figure it all out!

Still kickin’ and still sharing my passion with you all!

Today I have the pleasure of sharing with you all my chic woodland-inspired Christmas tree! If you follow along with me on Instagram, you’ve seen a lot of pics of it!

Spook-tacular Neutral Halloween Mantel

October 18, 2016 by Fotini Filed Under: fall, home decor 2 Comments

When it comes to decorating for Halloween, you’ve heard me say before, I opt for less spooky options. And that’s just a personal preference! I’m not really into the terrifying, gory decor. Today I’m sharing with you my spook-tacular neutral Halloween mantel, and this is about as spooky as it gets, haha.

As always, I have incorporated some of my favorite elements, such as, mercury glass, eucalyptus and candle light!
