A before shot at the beach house and although we are keeping the cabinets and the faucet, everything else is going to go. I can’t wait to see my design pics come to life, because this place is so worth it and we have worked so hard to be able to do this project.
This is one side of the kitchen and you can see the BEFORE of the OTHER SIDE if you’d like to and get a feel for what we have. It’s dated and worn and all of the appliances have an issue and the aqua tile is going out the door too.
We have been shopping and almost forgot about the kitchen backsplash, but we happened to be in a local carpet store to the area and noticed that they carry tile and wandered in to find what we want. It’s not going to be the ever popular subway tile and won’t be the on trend marble tile, but it WILL BE something similar to what we have in the MIAMI HOUSE and is timeless.
Today I’m sharing some ideas from blogging friends because I love to give you options, so take a look and see what your style fix may crave!
