After being without a kitchen for months getting our kitchen belongings unpacked and cleaned from being stored in the front entry way closet felt so good. Finding everything the most practical place in the kitchen was important to do right away.
When we bought our house, renovating the kitchen wasn’t even on the list. There was so much else to do in our fixer upper, but a year later, we have a completely new space. How does that even happen?
We chose a 12x24-inch charcoal tile. It was $13 per square foot cheaper than the tile we had previously picked out and the scale of it also made it easier to work with—less tile and a simple shape means for less time setting them. The new tile had us rework other parts of the design and we created something we love even more.
Last December we had almost no idea how to design the family room, much less that we would be camped out here during the day the first few weeks of our daughter’s life (I’m absolutely writing this post from the sectional).

A year after we started on this room, we finally started finishing it. Like the rest of the house, it was important to find pieces that fit our aesthetic but also fit our little budget.
