Aren't these peonies gorgeous , my brother's wife is always kind enough to share with me some of her beautiful blooms, so so sweet.
I have been so slowly working on the little details. I wasn't sure how to address the kickplate area in the kitchen. Leave it plain and paint it ? or dress it up , I chose a little of both. I added this little feature to only the sink cabinet.
Just enough detail for me.
This entry is tough for me, I'm having trouble deciding how to finish. I was going to go with brick but when I priced it out it seemed a little pricier that I had thought it would be , which lead to to think is this really the right choice , or is there something better. I have come up with anything ....
Its fine for now but this will not do well for a whole winter , so I have to get it straightened out before then.
I am thinking still the brick, or solid grey slate in a herringbone pattern , or a hex tile??? I'm taking my time. The only thing I know for sure is that I do not want big tiles.
I don't believe that I showed you how I trimmed out the baking hutch area , it was a standard recessed kickplate so I brought it out to look more like a piece of furniture , I think it turned out well.
Clean and simple.
The other little task I have been working on is finishing off the baseboard quarter round , I completed it yesterday , just need to tape it all off and give it all a fresh coat of semi gloss.
Off to tackle some laundry , cleaning , lunches and more little projects. I really need to sand the wood floors in the upper hall and stain those and finish the spindles up there , ugh I don't really want to do those jobs, but I will. Hoping our new ceiling fan arrives today ??? Maybe, we'll see , have a great day.

Hi Chris,
Go for the Herringbone look :-). Everything looks beautiful. Could I
ask how you built up you baseboards?
Thanks :-)

Hi!Great and interesting blog you have:) Come and visit my site too. http://ads.com.mm/?cid=4fd60e65e4b0fa6db841e338&utm_campaign=ads_mm_lb_blog_martaste&utm_source=ads_lb_blog&utm_medium=lb_blog
can't get over how beautiful everything looks! Iwould love to feature your kitchen on my blog! it's amazing. love it. about your entry - consider dark gray and white marble ala windsor smith. it's so pretty together - checkerboard squares or even black and white - it would look beautiful next to your black wood stairs and floors!
Hi Chris I'm courious as to we're you get all of the wood for your kitchen projects also the trim around the bakers cabinets that you trimmed the side with I can't find anything like that at homedepot or lowes any suggestions would be very much appreciated thanks
Abeachhouseinmontana: the trim on the side of the bakers cabinet is just regualar old MDF , I buy 12"x8' shelf boards and I use my table saw to cut them down to whatever size I like. However you should be able to find preprimed MDF boards available at your local big box stores.
Joni: I would love you to feature my kitchen , I will take some better shots and email them to you .

Everything looks so nice. What kind of camera do you use to take all these nice pictures?
Yea, dont do the big tiles. I have it in my house and I hate them...im dreading to redo them but I dont know if I want hardwood.... Love the details in the kitchen...its coming in really nice Chris. Keep doing your thing!!
I would stick with your original plan of the brick, herringbone style. You have saved so much money customizing your home DIY that to splurge on the brick would be a reward for a job well earned. It would make the entrance warm and welcoming. I really enjoy watching you transform your home into something special.
