Oh, Alicia, your kitchen is just beautiful! I love how everything complements each other. I can't wait to see the rest of the house :)
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is spotless! You're amazing…nice job. I especially like the art work about the butterfly! Looking forward to seeing more pics.
ReplyDeletebeautiful color on the walls nice job
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think of the Armstrong floors? We chose this flooring too in a different color. Just curious since you've had it for a little while.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo! We like them for the most part! When we first moved in they made a popping/cracking noise which really bothered me but the more you walk on them it pretty much goes away. They look really nice! Everyone thinks they are hardwood. We've also dropped things and dripped paint on them and it cleans up no problem! The one thing I don't like is the really glossy finish-it looks great but it shows smears/water spots etc. We've had to play around a lot with cleaners. Right now we're using a recipe from pinterest that has water, rubbing alcohol (to make it evaporate quick), and a few drops of dishsoap. It's worked a lot better to keep the streaks away. Congrats on your home!
DeleteThat's really good to know. I will have to look up the cleaner on Pinterest. Thanks for the quick response. Your home is beautiful. :)
DeleteHi! Your new home is beautiful! I am currently trying to decide between golden mascarello laminate and a solid surface. Our installer thinks the seams will show up too much on the laminate and is encouraging the solid surface. Did you have to seam yours on the winged bar and if so, does it show up badly? Our counter and raised bar are both winged on either ends making for four seams. Decisions, decisions!
ReplyDeleteHi, I love your counters. I am currently trying to decide between golden mascarello laminate and a solid surface. Our installer is trying to talk me out of the laminate because of the seams. Did you have to seam your laminate? If so, does it show up really bad?
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy! Thank you! We have the antique mascarello so just a shade different than the golden. We only have one seem in our kitchen. It's in the corner to the right of the sink where you see the coffee maker. I think the mascarello being marbled helps hide the seam quite a bit compared to most seams in laminate. Especially with the coffee maker there I don't really notice it unless I look for it. Everyone that has come over immediately comments on how much they love our counters! We didn't have a choice of a solid surface (except granite) so I can't speak on those. Have fun building!
DeleteDid you keep the standard RH sink when you replaced the faucet? Di you have to drill an additional holes for the soap dispenser or were they already cut out??
ReplyDeleteHi Caitlin! We did keep the standard RH sink. It is a typical 3 hole sink so the soap dispenser fits in one of the extras (only one is needed for the faucet). Our PM actually installed it for us too!
