Decisions Decisions

I know many people are so overwhelmed by the process of choosing their finishes, but I was so excited about it! I knew what we like and prefer. I knew what our budget was, and I was pretty determined to stick within that budget, while remembering what is most important *hint: it's not the cabinets or the hardware.... it's the fact that our family will be here, together*
The designer in me had already prepared with multiple inspiration photos and things written down. When I showed up to meet with the Scotch Homes designer, Bee, I was ready to get down to business. I showed her what I liked and we got to work. She picked up quickly on my style (I like to think of myself as a cozy minimalist). I insisted on staying in budget and we worked pretty quickly to make our decisions.

Here's what we chose!

White shaker cabinets for the perimeter cabinets in the kitchen

Black pulls

We chose a natural stain on the island and a black vent hood. Here is our inspiration picture:

This will be the backsplash

Carrara Versailles Quartz in the kitchen

Tile for master bath and girls' bathrooms: in the master the tile will run vertically (as shown) and in the girls' bathrooms, it will run horizontally.

The penny tile will be on the floor of the master shower and the white tile will run vertically in the shower and near the tub.
