A few years ago, we did what I call a “forced remodel”. You know, the kind where your child points out a huge bulge in the ceiling full of water, and before you know it, you’re cooking in your laundry room, eating meals upstairs and washing dishes in the utility sink for a few months. Those who know me know my dismay over a water leak lasted about 5 minutes. Then I was jumping for joy at the thought of picking new paint colors, faucets and cabinet hardware!
Thanks to my talented friend Heidi Semler, without whom I can’t make a decorating decision, I ended up with an incredibly beautiful, white, very bright kitchen. Some of my favorite things include this amazing light fixture (a splurge!) by Urban Electric; a handy throw-in-the-wash indoor/outdoor rug by Dash and Albert and, of course, plates, plates and more plates because my plate obsession is real….see my Pinterest plate board for inspiration!
