Great tips! And such a swoon-worthy kitchen. We think the lovely subway backsplash and barn door are also great elements that beautifully complement the style.
Those lower cabinets are exactly what I’ve been looking for! You’re post came at the perfect time! We’re beginning to build in a few months. Our last home had an espresso stain on the floors. Gorgeous but sweeping twice a day was overwhelming. Great for the biceps, though! These cabinets go with everything ❤️❤️
Hooray for good timing! We’d love to see what you end up doing in your new kitchen, Tracy. 🙂
