Big Reveal #2

This is where the dramatic change was.  We took out a hallways that held the laundry, entrance to the bathroom, and a door to outside.  We eliminated the door altogether, as it wasn’t used frequently.  The laundry was moved into the enormous bathroom, and the entrance to the bathroom was moved around the corner.   I knew all along a white kitchen was just what we needed to brighten and bring life to the space.  It also was a great backdrop for the nautical theme.  There is no store on the island, so there is lots of groceries for a long visit and two fridges fit perfectly in between two supporting posts.   All the lighting is from Pottery Barn.  The cabinets are custom made.  The harware is from Rona. The corbels on the island are from Homesense.  The bar stools were a great find.  I had tried to get some vintage stools and have them painted, but they were no where to be found.  After looking at some very expensive choices, I found these at Zellers, 2 for $50, and then I had them painted.  The kitchen table and chairs were existing.   I’d like to add a bamboo blind on the window above the sink, and maybe some vintage signs on the header above the fridges and stove.  Other than that, its time to sit back, relax and enjoy.  Stay tuned for the remaining rooms to be revealed in a couple of weeks.
