5 or 6 months prior to now, my good good friend Crystal requested if I’d be critical about collaborating on a specific endeavor that was close to her coronary coronary heart. She wished to makeover her aunt’s kitchen and consuming space- proper right here in Utah. I’ll admit, Crystal did almost the entire work, nevertheless I was thrilled to be apart of such a novel passion project- even when merely in a small methodology. Sentimental design duties for a deserving explicit particular person? Rely me in! Last week, I drove to her aunt’s house to finish placing within the banquette, mannequin, and {{photograph}} the world. As we converse, we’re sharing the highest finish outcome. Click on on by for a ravishing kitchen and consuming nook makeover that ended up being a really pleasing collaboration between 4 Utah bloggers: Crystal, Kristen, Kenna, and myself…
*Sooner than we dive in- I want to thank ALL of our very good mannequin companions who kindly donated product for this explicit endeavor: Sherwin-Williams, Pepe & Carols, Nostalgic {{Hardware}}, Elkay, Article, Juniper Print Retailer, Shelfology, Monarch Plank, and Metropolis Loft Window Treatments. With out them, this endeavor wouldn’t have been doable. I’d moreover want to thank Crystal for organizing and along with me!
Check out this sooner than / progress image! That’s the space we had been dealing with. Crystal envisioned this room being vivid, light-filled, and cheerful for her aunt. When Crystal was telling me about Patty, she went on and on about how she’s always so generous and serving to others- even when she had been dealt a difficult hand. Proper right here’s what she talked about about her aunt…
Patty is a single mom that has raised 4 boys on her private, all whereas working three jobs and dealing with quite a few nicely being factors. No matter all this, she has served her group and given rather a lot to those around her!
Her response to her new kitchen was pretty priceless. I’ll see if I can get it to share on Instagram tales for you. I’m fully glad Crystal was ready to make this happen for her, and I actually really feel proud to have made a small contribution to the highest finish outcome. In a position to see the after image?!
Pretty very good, correct? It’s clear, fashionable (nevertheless inviting), and might make the right latest canvas for Patty to make her private, settle in, and begin creating gorgeous recollections.

This little nook vignette really highlights just some of my favorite points throughout the room: the textural backsplash tile, our cookbook stand, and that beautiful cabinetry {{hardware}}! There are so many good textures having fun with collectively on this vignette.
Considered one of many biggest changes made to the bottom plan and construction was shifting the above differ microwave to the newly put in monetary establishment of cabinets or pantry. That allowed room for a custom-made hood that blends correctly with the cabinetry.
The cabinetry wall moreover added a TON of additional storage, and helped the fridge to increased match into the world. Beforehand, it was positioned throughout the coronary heart of the wall and didn’t circulation very successfully.
The sink area is definitely a highlight for me. As soon as I used to be enhancing these photographs, Emmett talked about it reminded him of our first kitchen. Perhaps it’s the shaker cabinets, the large farmhouse sink, or the pull-down faucet, nevertheless it really is a contented and helpful second that felt nostalgic to us.
I will always love some sort of open storage in a kitchen setting. The floating cupboards had been pleasing to mannequin, and we saved them fairly easy. I would envision Patty defending regularly dishes proper right here, cookbooks, and even some crops throughout the spring and summer season season months.
Whereas the kitchen is gorgeous and actually successfully completed, I really feel the little consuming nook takes the cake for me. Lighting floods into the sliding doorways, and it’s such a vivid second throughout the small space. I would positively take pleasure in having my morning espresso or meals proper right here.
Kristen and Kenna constructed the shiplap wall, which added some very good seen curiosity. Moreover they constructed the wooden bench seat. My job for this area was the banquette upholstery! You notice I actually like a fantastic upholstery endeavor.
I envisioned a up to date backboard that was moreover cozy and shiny. Emmett and I decrease radius corners, upholstered the board, and I sourced some good leather-based to place in it. I’m digging the excellence! We purchased the seat cushions on Amazon and Kristen constructed the bench to swimsuit them (equivalent to we did with our exterior sofa).
