That pottery is absolutely gorgeous, I love that you are going to showcase that with a lovely but low key kitchen. Can't wait to see the progress!

Enjoying this and can relate to the mess as we gutted and total redid our kitchen and adjoining family room years ago. Thankfully it was summer and gave me a reason to talk DH into a nice new grill which we used a lot during that time.

We have a dealer at our monthly flea market that sells the Polish pottery. It's stunning!

I LOVE those green cabinets and I can totally relate to your "storage area." Only all of our things were packed into my 4-year-old's bedroom. Ugh. Thankfully she's too young to remember this trauma. At least I hope.

I can't wait to see how your kitchen comes along. I know four weeks seems like a long time but it will be so worth it!

Thank you!

I found the contractor via word of mouth. I interviewed her and I could tell she "got" what I visualized for the room. She has a good reputation locally. I had her do a smaller project and she did it so well that I felt comfortable using her for the larger one. So far, absolutely zero complaints! DEFINITELY worth the 20 percent contractor fee! She passes on her contractor discounts anyway, so in the end the upcharge for her expertise and being bonded, etc. costs about ten percent of the project's costs. Well worth it in my opinion.

"There is no disputing about taste." Right on.
