Hi Kristy! I loved watching the process of this house transformation. We did our renovation 7 yrs ago, but I was able to enjoy yours as I wasn’t living in the space as it was progressing, lol! Our kitchens are very similar right down to the marble which I still crush on every morning ?. I love EVERY decision you made. I read along as you chose the stool for the island…I have never seen a more perfect choice!!! Every time you post a pic it seems to me as if they were custom made for that island. Funny how the relatively least expensive items have such impact!!! Curious….do you keep your cabinet lights all the time? I actually began using mine more often because of your photos ? You truly inspire me!
Hi Susan,
Wow thank you so much.. this was such a sweet comment! How funny that our tastes are so similar. I really do love those stools ;) Thanks to my friend Sandra at Old Silver Shed (on ig @oldsilvershed) she helped pick those out for me!
As to my cabinet lighting.. we have them on almost every night while we are downstairs. They are LED so I never worry about the energy but they are turned off when we go to sleep. xo
Your kitchen is my absolute favorite!! Hoping to renovate my kitchen in the next year, so this was really helpful. Your lighting is just gorgeous. Would never have thought to lacquer my cabinets,but that is a great idea! Thanks for walking us through your decisions. And for your wonderful regular posts ?
Hi Regina,
Thank you so much! Good luck with your reno – what an exciting time. One tip I have is if you’re thinking of getting your cabinets painted with Lacquer.. make sure you go with a professional who is used to working with Lacquer. It really makes a difference. And always go with a satin sheen! So it’s not too glossy. xo
Hi Kristy, love your kitchen. I was wondering what the height of your ceiling is and the height of your cabinets. I have 9ft ceilings and not sure on the height of the cabinets.
Hi Linda,
We have the same ceiling height at 9 feet. I have high baseboards.. if you click on Home Sources/Kitchen in the header above you will see all the details. From the bottom of my crown moulding to the bottom of the top cabinet it is 47 and 1/4 inches high. Hope this helps! xo
Hi Kristy! Of all the beautiful rooms in your house, your kitchen is the one that I’m absolutely in love with most! I was wondering if you know the style of the cabinets? They don’t look like your typical shaker style. Also the edge cut of the marble is so soft and beautiful, is it ogee and something else (Ogee square? Special dimensioned)? (So many questions but I’m limiting myself to those 2 ?)
Hi Kristy,
I really love your floors! I am wondering what kind they are and brand. I am about to redo all my flooring and that is exactly the look I am looking for! Thanks!
Hi Fredricka!Thanks so much.. My floors are Pravada Chateau Blanc. Definitely get a sample as they can be a bit yellow in tone for some.
Happy Friday!

Hello Kristy, I love you kitchen. We are remodeling ours now and I wondered where you purchased the window from. I like the fact that the trim is minimal and gives more glass (light) area. I also like the way it almost lines up with the counter in front of it and the way you carried the counter top to the window sill. I would appreciate any information. Thank you. Linda
Your kitchen is beautiful!! I love it all but I am curious where you got your window treatment from? I’d love to make it or buy one similar. Thank you!!
Hi Sandra,
Thank you! That shade is from Wendy Bellissimo’s collection with Smith and Noble. It’s the motorized Relaxed Roman Shade in Sonata White. :)

Hi Kristy!
I can’t get enough of your beautiful kitchen. How often do you seal the marble? Thank you for sharing your kitchen!
Hi Lourdes,
Thank you so much! I try to seal my marble every 6 months (or whenever we remember.. lol) xo
Hi, thank you for sharing all the details of your beautiful kitchen. Did you use polished nickel or chrome for your hardware?
Thank you!
Hi Gemma, All polished nickel from RH! :) Hugs!
Hi Kristy, Your kitchen is beautiful! I was wondering where you got your curtains. I really like them.
Thanks Karin! The roman shade is from Smith and Noble. I have a blog post with all the links to each space. Here you go..

Hi Kristy, Beautiful kitchen. Do you know what grout you used on your backsplash? Thank you!
Hi Tara, thanks for reaching out! My grout is “bostik bright white”. Hope this helps. xx https://tilebar.com/bright-white-non-sanded-grout.html

I love your flooring. Can you give me color and brand details? Thank you!
Hello Kristy!! I Have marble countertop on my vanity. I wondered if you have sealed your marble ever? If so what are your thoughts?
Hi Karen, I never have on my vanity because it’s honed and I haven’t noticed anything really. It’s held up really well. xx
Love your kitchen! Just one question, how long are the pulls on your cabinets?
Thank you
I have the same question! They are perfect!
Beautiful kitchen! Do you know the dimensions of your island?! Thank you!

Hi Linda! That window is original to the house and it’s from 1996. Hope that helps!
