I seriously don’t have the time to be playing around in Photoshop, but I can’t help obsessing over the kitchen design. A new cabinet guy is coming out today to take measurements and we are very excited that he understands the style we are wanting. I created these renderings from Steve’s design to ensure that everyone is on the same page with the design concepts. We’ll see how the meeting goes today. (Fingers crossed.)
Here are a couple of back splash ideas… We are at a complete loss as to what to put there. All white seems too “white”, but we do not want it to be busy. We’ve had fantastic luck with the Hakatai mosaic tiles on our bathroom and pool projects, but I’m not sure it’s right for this space. Please let me know if you have any brilliant ideas!

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?!
Steve – Writes commercials, plays drums and tennis (often with vintage rackets), and digs MCM style.
Haley – Is an amazing graphic designer and lady-boss, is developing an obsession with travel, puts up with noisy band practices, and also digs MCM style.
Steve was born in SoCal, raised in NorCal and has lived in the Great Pacific Northwest for many many years. Haley was born and raised nearby in NE Portland.
Together they’re attempting the seemingly impossible; to bring this great house back to its MCM Grandeur and raise two nutty kids (who are now adults!) …and not drive each other crazy in the process!
Life is kooky, but always a fun adventure!
PLAN B… THE TRAILER
Just in case the whole home restoration thing doesn’t work out! We have a ’56 Airstream Safari that we’re restoring in our spare time. 🙂
Check out our trailer adventures HERE.
How about some glass tile on the backsplash?
Thanks Peggy!
What color(s) do you think? We have lots of celery, turquoise, brown and orange in the house… and the painted sliding doors on the spice cupboard are celery, orange, black and gray. Suggestions? -H
