    Yep, I still love it the 2nd time around! :) Are you planning on adding an island back in (maybe something moveable?) or just enjoying the space? I think it would look great either way, just curious what your preference is

    Whoops, I got so carried away trying to give you guys my sincere compliments, I forgot to add that I think one of your biggest improvements comes from tearing down the soffit above your cabinets. I know that was also one of the messiest jobs with all that insulation falling everywhere.

    the kitchen is beautiful! Such a 360 degree difference from where you started. It’s open, fresh and bright! I love your open shelving and how you styled them. The additional basket storage is really nice and that BIG pantry with the lighting is just over the top.
    When you share all the details. can you share with us on the sealing and maintenance of the butcher block top and how it’s holding up for you? I love the look of butcher block top, but not sure if It would be a maintenance thing or not.
    Almost forgot to say that the flooring is FABULOUS as is the ceiling. My two faves next to the pantry and the open shelving. Y’all did a great job!

    I love how crisp and bright it looks, LOVE the pops of red and green, the dark wood floor and white wood ceiling. You two rocked it out big-time. How much do you love simply removing a glass from the shelf & filling it with water at the sink? What a delight it must be after having the sink in one room, the glass in another and the water in a third!!!!!
