The Richards home remodel

Architectural Digest posted on their website this month 100 Great Spaces. Check it out. Here are just a few of my favorite shots. Enjoy!

Enjoy some interior design by Phoebe Howard in Atlanta.

When designing our all white, shaker-style kitchen, we kept the color options very simple; white, chocolate, and silver with a small splash of blue gray. We did a lot of our shopping online to find just the right thing. Plus, when you shop online most shops offer free shipping and no sales tax. All of our hardware was from White-Chapel – I just feel in love with the thickness and quality! We just used basic white subway tile along with all the white trim color is Benjamin Moore white dove, including the cabinets. White dove seemed to match everything. I have listed below a lot of the other items in our remodel that I found on other websites. Enjoy! Happy Thanksgiving!

We have a finished kitchen! These photos where taken at night so they may be a little dark. We LOVE it! Enjoy these photos. I will post all my product links soon, along with other info when I am not so exhausted from a long day. It felt like it was moving day all over again today, but great! Happy Thanksgiving!

After three months without a kitchen, Jed cooked last night (I watched and had a margarita :)) and this morning. Thank you Andrew (our fabulous GC!)! All the appliances were installed, the dining chandelier, along with the Espresso Quartz counter tops that we love! It was a crazy week of little mishaps….faucet valves leak (need to replace all this next week), electrical workers delayed, counter tops were slightly cut to big so stove did not fit, etc. But, thanks to Andrew, it all was completed by Friday night. We still have all the decorative details to finish: tile back splash, pendant lights, cabinet hardware, refrigerator panels, trim, paint, etc. I was off work all week to help get things moved in and moving. I think Andrew knew if Jed and I had to spend one more weekend without a kitchen, we may lose our mind and patience. Anyway, he made it happen! Check out all the progress made this week. Hopefully my next post will be a complete kitchen photo, then the bathroom that may be another month due to the back-ordered tile floor.

Here is Andrew trying to get things finished for us! Thank you!

Wow! What amazing progress in two weeks. The painters still have areas to paint trim that was put in at the last minute on Friday. Our kitchen window should arrive on Monday so the trim and paint will be finished. The rest of the week we will see counter tops, back splash, appliances, hardware, lights, etc….Very Exciting! Regarding the bathroom, still waiting on tile for bathroom floor :(. Uggg! This was my fault for ordering it so late but nothing can be installed in the bathroom until the floor goes in. Once we receive the floor tile, the bathroom can be finished quickly. Stay tuned!

p.s. Thank you Rambling Renovators for our kitchen cabinet inspiration! Visit their site at http://ramblingrenovators.blogspot.com/

Slowly, but surely we will have cabinets! There were a few minor changes and adjustments to be made once the cabinets were delivered and installed. We changed a few doors and two cabinets were a little to long. Anyway, this should all be done by next week, along with painting everything. We are getting very close. Stay tuned.

I always find great interior ideas and details from this site in the UK. Here are just a few photos I liked from House to Home.

All the demo is complete! See the photos below. As they were taking everything out, an old chimney was found behind some cabinets. We talked about trying to keep this and use this in the design, but it just would not work. The electric and framing start next week. We will be with out electricity for a week or two while they are rewiring the house. I will keep you posted. Have a great weekend!

No more kitchen! Thank you Jed! Mia, my fabulous niece, packed most of the kitchen for a small fee. Then Jed did most of the demo himself. Here are some the kitchen demo photos.
