The day we've all been waiting for!
Thank you all so much for following along being such a great support during the
last six weeks, all of your kind comments truly keep me going!!
As always, a huge thank you to the mastermind behind the One Room Challenge,
I like to think of her and the ORC as motivator extraordinaire!
I know you just want pictures today!!!
I'll be back with follow up posts next week, I have lots of details and DIYs to share!
If you remember back at
Week One I set out to give our kitchen a facelift, transforming
the Tuscan look from eight years ago into a more modern space. All on a budget - meaning
I'd be working with what I had and getting my DIY mojo on!
Never underestimate the power of paint!!
I painted everything you can imagine - cabinets, hardware, tile, hood, chandeliers!

Calacatta Marble was my choice for our island countertop...it's Formica!
I know what you're thinking, but look at it, Formica has come a long way!
I love it and can't wait to share the details with you.
I was so tempted to ditch our huge 4' x 5' chalkboard in an effort to be more cutting edge,
but when a friend said, 'We love coming over and checking out what's on the chalkboard,
it's so you.' I knew keeping it was right. It's fun to make people feel special by a simple
message.You all know
Linda, but Lori is my dear friend that gave moral support and
manual labor during the challenge. :)
I'll be sharing the scoop on this beautiful plug-in swing arm lamp from
Lamps Plus
and how you can avoid using an electrician.
One of my favorite styles to mix is modern with traditional, the abstract artwork from
Minted paired with blue and white ginger jars in my lighted cabinet is a pretty statement.
Three framed needlepoint florals from Mr. Simple's grandma fit perfectly here.
DIYs for the hood and super easy valances to come.
It's been such an honor to be included with these talented ladies,
I knew from day one they would all rock this challenge, let's go see!
