Our Kitchen

This is my kitchen on its best behavior. In other words, I cleaned it in anticipation of this post.











We love this kitchen. We designed and picked everything out ourselves and this room is a true labor of love on Sebastian's part. While we brought in contractors for some items like electrical and some installation of a few of the appliances, for the most part, this kitchen was put together by Sebastian. 

There are still many little things I want to do like adding some shelves and artwork to the bare walls, bringing in some sort of moulding, adding a backsplash and painting and re-staining the movable kitchen island in the center. 
The rest will come gradually, I know, and I love that we can take our time. For now, it's pretty much complete and we are enjoying the fact that this is the nicest kitchen that Sebastian and I have lived in since being together. 













The farmhouse sink above is probably one of my favorite things in the kitchen. The knobs and pulls come a close second. I was able to find them online for a steal and the wheat motif on the knobs reminds me of my childhood days on the farm. 








I'm also enjoying adding in the little details like showcasing my late Grandma Kramer's drying towels, among other things.



Details like this that let me know that we are building a home-base that Aliyah and any future sibling(s) will enjoy and create memories for years to come
