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?

More projects to finish, but at least we are in.   We kept going back and forth on what to do in our powder room.     At first I was going to do a wall with tile like this:       this:      or this:         Let's just say that a small wall with one of those tiles would cost A LOT and though we were fine spending it on this space, our budget was shrinking by the minute.     So we went back to the lovely Aileen at Porcelanosa and came up with other options:     These two options were lovely, but didn't have a wow factor:       We pretty quickly decided on the floor that we liked. It was cool because we brought the floor tile and the tile that resembled our vanity and mixed and matched it with different wall t...
