Come Wright in | The kitchen remodel that took two years.

The day we bought the house our kitchen looked like this:

The day I took the photographs of the finished product, the kitchen we worked so long and hard renovating is the day I realized what I never imagined I’d feel. 
I can remember the feeling of disgust, hatred and total annoyance during every step of the process. The amount of dirt, labor and unexpected expenses involved makes it hard for me to believe I’m feeling this way but I have to say I’m 100% absolutely in love with the renovation process more so then the actual kitchen itself… so much that I’d sell our house just to do it all over again. 

There’s something so satisfying about putting your stamp on a home, and even better an old 1901 home bringing it back to life. This kitchen came stocked with gross features we were able to either paint over, decorate or simply deal with until this remodel took place. The countertops were a lovely shade of peach swirl tile with a quarter inch grout to savor every crumb or liquid left behind. A doorway between the kitchen and the family room so uninviting it made you feel like you were entering a bedroom. And lastly the three different types of flooring laid on the main level of the house. 

We finished this reno last summer and it feels good. Now on to projects unseen to the eye… insulation.

    Looks good you guys! Pick of Jeff under sink would be better with exposed butt crack. I just had insulation done and WHAT A DIFFERENCE it makes!! Be sure to check out incentives through http://energytrust.org/. I ended up getting some 2200 off for attic+crawlspace.

ABOUT THE BLOG

Wright for Michele is a Portland based lifestyle blog devoted to cultivating stylish, relatable and creative content. It also serves as a personal time capsule of my family’s journeys, giggling and stumbling a bit, through it all.

I started "Wright for Michele" back in 2010 as a creative outlet and to share the things I love (basically the exact same reason the rest of the internet started blogging). Often this blog is about family, sometimes it’s about style, and in general it’s about life and how you (and me) can make every single area in it, better. It’s simple, it’s real (sometimes a little raw and almost always full of grammatical errors), it’s honest and hopefully no matter what it’s a little sweet.
