From 1940  to 2009

We’re updating a kitchen in a 1940′s house that currently has solid pine paneling. The room gets fantastic light, as it faces south, but the paneling is quite dark & the room is already fairly tight. So we’re taking most of the paneling out & replacing with wallboard. The flooring is sheet vinyl which has held up amazingly well, but the pattern is dated & we’re going with a modern look & opening up the kitchen to the dining area.

Demo is in about 2 weeks, & I’ll be collecting pictures. Until then, here’s a rundown of what’s tentatively going in:

• IKEA cabinets w/ NEXUS birch veneer doors and STRECKET pulls
• Countertops: Cloud White Zodiaq quartz from IKEA
• Flooring: Natural Cork Roca Eco Series or Woven Vinyl from Design Materials Inc
• Backsplash: Hakatai Crimson/China blend mosaic
• stainless & black appliances
• LED under cabinet and above cabinet uplighting – DIODER from IKEA

The warmth will come from the birch veneer and the cork flooring, lighting, accessories like utensils & towels, the red in the backsplash, dinnerware, and food itself.

Stay tuned for updates!
