![]() ![]() Presumably it’s a wood that doesn’t mind getting wet like Cedar, perhaps.Ībove and below from Nancy Keyes gorgeous “unkitchen,” a beautiful “unbacksplash” over the counter. This kitchen could go ANYWHERE!Īnother lip and they are making it out of wood? I wonder how that works in the sink area. I am so in love with this kitchen and it is exactly what I’m talking about when I speak of today’s Unkitchen. However, as you can see, they did do a full backsplash over the beautiful range. By the way, that lip measures 70 millimeters, or roughly 2.75 inches. However, the other extreme we can see in many of the DeVOL kitchens with only a lip in place of the traditional 18″ undercabinet backsplash. For more of her wonderful kitchen, please go here. Mary did that in her Bronxville kitchen that I helped her with. ![]() These days, however, it is not uncommon to see the kitchen backsplash run all the way from the counter to the ceiling. Some people will argue that one, and I won’t disagree when it comes to the sink and range area, a backsplash is a very good idea. What’s funny is that I’ve never lived in a home that had a kitchen backsplash. The mirrors, especially the one you can see here, are going to grab a lot of light into the kitchen, and create a bit of sparkle.Īnd, so all of this ties into my favorite kitchen backsplash. I definitely need some non-pretty stuff storage in the kitchen. Please notice that the end cabinets will have antiqued mirrors, and only the two center doors will be clear glass. I sent Paul a tweaked image of the kitchen. So, why am I bringing this up, today? Well, I told Paul I’d love to partner with them again and he said, he’d love to! Yipppeeee!!! There are also some good images of the wallpaper in this post.Īgain, my photos don’t capture how amazing they are. You can see a close-up in this post from 2018, And, also in this post after the paper was installed. The photos on the website don’t capture the beauty of the printed murals in any way. The quality of the print is so amazing, and the colors. And, from there, started The Mural Source (formerly Mural Sources) where they’ve taken his original murals and make prints of them. Of course, I will keep y’all informed as we go along.īut, breaking news!!! I got an email from the amazing Paul Montgomery, who makes the most beautiful hand-painted wall murals. Plus, I’m going to have to move out for several months. There is a LOT that will need to happen before we can begin. So, when is all of this going to commence?Īhhh, another great question. But, he’s not the most expensive either and by a substantial amount based on both of my neighbor’s quotes. He is confident, has terrific ideas, and I can tell he’s going to be terrific to work with. Rick came back a second time and spent another two hours with me going over the plans. I’ve seen numerous examples of his work and can tell that he’s meticulous in his detailing.Ħ. In addition, Rick gave references for numerous other homes in the area, he’s worked on who are all happy with the work.Ħ. Our nearby neighbors used Rick last year and loved working with him.ĥ. My super nice neighbors upstairs used Rick for various projects, including a bathroom reno in their apartment, and gave a glowing review.Ĥ. Nor, did he so much as flinch when I said, “unkitchen.”ģ. He didn’t look at me, not even once, like I had six heads. Rick, on the other hand, returned my query immediately and came over a few days later. The other contractor did come over and seemed to be in a hurry, plus I felt he was not experienced enough.Ģ. Three or Four others were contacted but didn’t get back to me. When I first began looking for a contractor around June, I did interview one other. That is a terrific question and could be a separate blog post. If you don’t have any quotes, how do you know this is the contractor you’d like to hire? And, this Tuesday, I’m meeting with him and his subs to go over the plans for quotes. I did submit dozens of drawings, photos, and a detailed description of my design to the contractor I want to hire early this month. Well, I’m happy to report there’s been positive movement on this front. Before we get into my favorite kitchen backsplash, several of you have asked what’s happening with my renovation plans. ![]()
