Vintage Coastal Style and Milk Bunt Cake

My style is Vintage Coastal.

 

I adore a pastel palette with soothing mints, soft whites and hints of blush.

Vintage entry with a mint wallpaper. The traditional wood floors, and mill work add character and the seating adds a touch of French vintage elegance.

Vintage bathroom with a roll top bathtub and clean white cabinetry. I adore the floral accents, and soft touches which make this bathroom look cozy, and relaxing.

Coastal kitchen with white cabinetry and extensive mill work. The lanterns add some character and a focal point to the room. So much natural light.

Coastal living room with beautiful sea views. Could you imagine an afternoon gazing out the window? The stripe rug grounds the furniture arrangement, and like colors are repeated in the cushions and throws.

Vintage kitchen that makes you want to bring out a recipe book and bake. The open shelving in imperfectly perfect and the beamed ceiling adds the cohesive style.

How about baking a milk bunt cake. Looks delicious to me.

Our Country Kitchen. Plans Come To Life

Welcome to our home.

 

Here's our country kitchen:

 

When I moved in with my fiance, the kitchen was a midnight blue hue. With half painted black or white cabinets. Some counters were granite, others were chipboard with granite tiles and all the appliances were all on one wall. It took us nearly a year to change, and the biggest change was lightening it up.

 

Here are some preliminary designs I created. I originally designed with a wall oven, but we decided on a stove and more storage instead.

 

We designed a bench seat in the bay window, which opens up to store small kitchen appliances. And as you can see, Buster really enjoys this spot. That's why we've called it Buster's bench.

Here's a perspective of the sink area. We now have pull out cabinets, storing microwavable dishes on both sides of the stove. So much more functional.

We also added a peninsula to create an eat in kitchen. We currently have two seats, but could easily fit four around the counter. The fridge was also originally right next to the stove, with a left handed door, which is not really practical so we relocated it to create a triangle, and a more functional space.



 

Through the columns (to the right of the picture above) is our family room. A lot of work was done in that room also. The biggest project was building a wall above the fireplace at an angle to withstand our TV...More on that another time.

 

 

Hope you enjoyed seeing how some plans can come to life.
