Really good post Kristy! Your thought process on your Reno was very similar to ours as well as many of your choices! Now…I think we should both buy shares in Magic Erasers! Aren’t they the best think ever!
Hi Kristy!
Absolutely love your kitchen! It looks amazing!?
I was just wondering… do you use a product to clean your bench tops after every day use or just water?
Thanks!!

Thank you for answering everyone’s questions!
What kind of light bulbs are in your sconces and your pendants? We recently upgraded our light fixtures and have the Edison style bulbs that came with the fixtures from Wayfair. But both my husband and I aren’t fond of how yellow the light is. Do you have any bulb recommendations that look good in all clear pendant fixtures but aren’t too yellow or amber?
Haha! I just make sure the floors are dry by running around with a towel under my feet. The steam from the steamer usually dries quickly and doesn’t need the towel ‘treatment’ but I just like to make sure there isn’t any leftover dampness on the floors. ;)
Hi Kristy! I just recently started following you and I love all of your posts! For your kitchen reno, where did you purchase your windows from? I love the simplicity of them.
Hi Kristy,
I’m a new subscriber and really enjoying your posts. We live in snowy Portland, Me, and I love seeing your home and yard bathed in sunshine!
What a great post – I think you answered every question I would have had. Your kitchen is so beautiful and I especially love seeing when those night shots show up on my instagram. So pretty!

Hi Laura,
Our marble was sealed when we first moved in but other than that I just use water on the marble. If I have to use a little dish soap on something I rinse it and dry it immediately. :)
Thanks for the info on your kitchen reno. Beautiful space! Can you share the name of your steam mop or link to a diff store? (Canadian here and target links don’t work for us!)
Hi Kristy! New follower from Ireland :) What is the round plate you keep on your countertop with bottles on top? A cooler? I have never seen one before! Your house is amazing X
I LOVED this post! Were currently renovating our Kitchen and i got so many ideas from you, so thanks! :) What made you choose a cast iron sink instead of a fireclay sink? Im having so much trouble deciding!
Have you ever had any staining issues on your white grout? I’m debating between white and a warm gray to go with my white subway tile in the kitchen and just worry about discolouring with the white and to bold of lines with the gray.
Thankfully we haven’t had any issues so far with staining, but I think that depends on how messy the cook is! ;) Jeff is pretty neat with his splatter. xx
Hi Kristy! What are the dimensions of your island? I never considered a curved island, but I too have some awkward space that needs to be filled and I’m thinking a curve would help.
Hi Ali, My island is 83″ x 60″. We decided on the curve a the very last minute and I’m SO happy we went with it. It fills the space so much better and softens an otherwise very rectangular kitchen/family room.:)
I Love everything! You have transformed youR space iNto a ROmNtic, dreamy Haven! Thank you so much for sharing all your choices & sources! I am so grateFul because My taste is so similaR. Thank you for all the time you take in putting your Source list together & your amazing blog w/all your detail & organization.i
I have so completely loved reading and looking through all the pictures of your beautiful kitchen! I am renovating our kitchen and have chosen a very similar vibe (though i’m sure it won’t be as beautiful). my biggest challenge has been picking out the whites. did you paint the trim and ceilings the same color as the cabinets?
thank you!
I have Newport brass faucets with the polished nickel finish. I cannot get them clean. They look like they have water spots. I’ve tried everything. I wish I had gotten a different finish.
I have to admit our water has been causing issues with the spout part on our faucet as well now that it’s been 3 years. I feel your pain. :/ I may contact them to see what they recommend. Hugs! xo
Hello Kristy,
Hope you are doing well. Can you please share what type of interior lighting you have in your two glass cabinets next to your stove?
Could you please share a pic of the lighting in those 2 cabinets and a pic of the lighting you have under the cabinets?
We are remodeling our kitchen and have bought Thermador appliances also which are panel ready. My question is how do you figure out what size of handles to purchase ?
Really good post Kristy! Your thought process on your Reno was very similar to ours as well as many of your choices! Now…I think we should both buy shares in Magic Erasers! Aren’t they the best think ever!
I don’t know how anyone gets along without them!! ;) Thank you so much Joan.. xx

Thanks Linda! I use water only… I dry immediately also. :)

Thank u Kristy!! Greatttttt info and links!!!!

Question bout cleaning floors. Steam mop I get. But can you explain the towel under your feet? I might need a demo on your story!!
Haha! I just make sure the floors are dry by running around with a towel under my feet. The steam from the steamer usually dries quickly and doesn’t need the towel ‘treatment’ but I just like to make sure there isn’t any leftover dampness on the floors. ;)

Hi Amy,
Thank you! My windows are original. We didn’t have them changed out. :)
This an interesting article. Thanks for sharing in such detailed manner.

Thanks so much Shelley! I love the night shots too.. Hugs!
It truly is an amazing kitchen! I’m with you on Windex and magic erasers!
Thanks Tina! I do use other cleaners but those are the two items I use more than anything. :) Hugs!
Your kitchen is beautiful! What do you use to clean your marble countertops?
Hi Laura,
Our marble was sealed when we first moved in but other than that I just use water on the marble. If I have to use a little dish soap on something I rinse it and dry it immediately. :)

Maybe my wine holder? :) Is that what you are referring to? Thanks Claire! xx
Hi Kristy, where do you keep your sponges? I’m having trouble finding a place for them on my sink and still be able to keep it looking pretty.
Hi Kristy, love your posts. Hello from Spain ? which brand are the barstools? You’re style is amazing. Thxs
Hi Mona, :) Thank you! Here is a link to my barstools.. Hugs! xx

I also have a cast iron sink and use Barkeepers Friend to clean it. It is absolutely amazing! It’s sold in most grocery and home improvement stores.
I love to hear that as I am using it now. It works beautifully! Hugs!
Where did you get that great looking white tray you keep on your island? Also that beautiful cut out vase?
Thanks
Rosemarie

You have a beautiful kitchen. Every time I see the stove area I am drawn to the rose gold (?) crown. Where did you get that from? Thanks.
Thanks Nardi :) That is an Anthropologie find from Christmas.. I stick a candle inside of it and love how it looks at night.

I think I asked before but I did not keep the name of the product. But what gloss do you reapply on your countertops? Thanks!
I love the tile backsplash. Could you provide the collection, color name and the size please?
Wow! Just found you and you and Jeff are amazing !! Thank you fir the inspiration!

Your kitchen is the most beautiful one I’ve seen. What are the dimensions of your kitchen cabinet doors (the tall ones by the window?)
Hello Kristy,
Hope you are doing well. Can you please share what type of interior lighting you have in your two glass cabinets next to your stove?
Could you please share a pic of the lighting in those 2 cabinets and a pic of the lighting you have under the cabinets?

We are remodeling our kitchen and have bought Thermador appliances also which are panel ready. My question is how do you figure out what size of handles to purchase ?
Hi Carolyn, Sorry I missed this question..
You can purchase any you like. I didn’t want mine huge so I selected a 10′ handle and loved it. :)
I need to know where these glass pendants are from!
Hi Tiffany, Those are Juliska handblown pendants from a few years ago. Unfortunately they no longer make them.. :(
The perfect kitchen.
I’m interested to know what yours and Jeff’s favorite pots and pans are? Thanks
