Our Kitchen (From Inspiration to Reality)
When we decided that we were going to build a home, I started scouring blogs and design magazines for inspiration. I recently came across two magazine articles that I had torn out and showed to our builder as the inspiration for our current kitchen. I can't remember which magazines they came from, but I'm thinking Traditional Home and Kitchens & Baths.

So amazing! It looks fabulous. I love when things come to life from inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is beautiful, Megan! I love the photo of your pretty staircase in the background.
ReplyDeleteyour kitchen is still one of my favorites....love it.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! How have your marble counters held up? We take care of our things, but do cook a lot, so I'm not sure if marble would stay looking good in our house. . .but I sure ~love~ it! I'd love to know your experience with it, how it ages, patina, your take on the pros/cons, etc. Thanks for your great blog!
ReplyDeleteLOVE all of these images. I think I used YOUR kitchen in my inspiration list :) We updated our kitchen when we moved in, but I'm dying to do a major (knock down walls and start fresh) remodel. I'm pinning this for when the time comes.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog & kitchen! Now that you've lived in your house for awhile, I'd love to see a post on things you might have changed when building it. Like floor plans, countertop colors, paint colors, etc.
ReplyDeletewhat an awesome kitchen you have!
ReplyDeleteStunning Megan! Every room in your house just amazes me with beauty.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could ever tire of looking at your beautiful kitchen!!

ReplyDeleteMagnificent. You took those pages that inspired you and turned them into something real, something that you can be proud of. Your new kitchen is stunning, and it's all thanks to the ideas and work you put into it.
