StyleBurbia

  Hi. hi.   Sometimes you get so caught up in the renovation process you forget to share the finished product.   Drum roll please.....   Though I would say we've been done for probably over a year (lol), here is the StyleBurbia kitchen.        For a walk down memory lane, here are some pictures from the process and some of our inspiration: Posts 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6* (this one provides a great look at the whole process) , 7  & 8.  I included a few here for your browsing pleasure:                       How did we do? Do you like the finished result? We are enjoying it immensely. Talk soon. xo, Ris   

I'm loving the fact that we have had absolutely nothing planned the last few weekends.  No meetings with contractors, no running to pick out bathroom fixtures or counter tops, no picking up a million supplies from Home Depot, no kiddo birthday parties.   I could get used to this. lol Because we are so used to having every moment of our weekends allocated to house renovations, we have a tendency to walk around the house saying, "soooo what do we need to do here?" There are definitely a few big projects left to do like trying to figure out what to do with this counter top where our washer and dryer are housed.  We might do a different counter top than the one on the main island to mix things up a bit. I had been looking for a runner for the area above and for a rug near the sink. I think the one I found on One Kings Lane  looks really pretty in the space (but I might be slightly biased).   I love that it is chevron and I lo...

I am sooooo sorry. I have been beyond MIA the last week or so.  A lot has been going on. Things at the house are really coming together and it looks like our kitchen will finally be finished this week.  Our hot water and heat will be ready to go.  The house is insulated.  The rooms are painted.  All we need to do is another top-to-bottom cleaning to get rid of the TON of sheet rock dust that has settled on EVERYTHING and move furniture around. It has been a long time coming. So here is what has been going on. We finished installing the kitchen cabinets and the granite guys came to measure the island.  They said in the 9 years they have worked for the company, this has been the biggest island they have measured.  Hmmmm... Maybe we should have gone a bit smaller on the island? At first, I thought we would choose a granite that was bit more intense. Maybe something like one of these: It's hard...
