our kitchen

Here are a few more from the photo shoot I mentioned earlier by the talented Ashlee Raubach.

I have shared a couple shots of my kitchen here, but I had to show you these beauties by a professional!

When we moved in we ripped out the existing granite splash and installed subway tiles up to the ceiling. The tile up to the ceiling adds a lot of drama, and with a tile that is usually the most affordable. I was really wanting our kitchen to stand out and make our condo feel more like a home.

** I have received a lot of questions about the granite, it was the existing granite when we moved in.  I installed the tile splash and the shelves.

We then installed the two shelves above the sink. I love having exposed shelves to be able to display and use our prettiest dishes! Most of them are dating back to our wedding gifts.

I found the chandelier at a consignment store, and fell in love! It was the perfect surprise to our white kitchen.

I have a thing for doors. All of the closet/pantry doors are painted in the house. I went with a soft blue to add some fun.

The runner is from West Elm.

The EAT zinc letters are help up by double sided tape from the hardware store, so we didn't have to drill into the tile. It was a great solution!

I wish it looked this clean every day! But really, I do love this space, it feels bright and clean and a great place to cook and bake for our little family of three.

UPDATE:

For birthday and Christmas (I get spoiled in December!) I got some new plates and bowls from family and friends. The plates I had been obsessing over and can be found here. The bowls are the same Anthropologie bowls in different colors.

not so good photo above by me
