new kitchen

My friend and fellow designer, Laura Kummer, recently did a kitchen remodel and since I love it so much I wanted to blog about it.  Take a look at the before and after photos!

BEFORE:



These light blue tiles are actually not tiles at all
but plastic "stick-ons"





Her adorable pup in the background



AFTER:



The addition of the classic glossy white subway tile
to the ceiling is striking.



I love the combination of the more traditional faucet with
the modern rectangular kitchen sink

In lieu of the expense of additional cabinets and countertops
Laura happened to come across this perfect piece of furniture for
this alcove across from the butlers pantry.  I love the butcher block
top, cup pulls and turned legs.  It works perfectly!

These butler pantry built-ins were existing but the edition of
the subway backsplash and black countertop ties this piece
into the rest of the kitchen.

Laura has a blog of her own that chronicles this kitchen make-over.  As well as being a great designer, she is a pastry chef and posts the delicious creations she makes so check out Lola's Kitchen!
