Beach House Renovation: Design Decisions Kitchen And Bath

Design Decisions For The Kitchen And Bath

 

It’s time to make some design decisions in our beach house renovation.

So today, I thought I’d bring you up to date on the progress happening in Rhode Island.

Thankfully,there’s been some changes made since my last post on the renovation in May.

The kitchen is slowly starting to come together.

The new island is in and so is our new fridge, the weird dip in the counters has been fixed (see below) the soffits are also going in, as well as new cabinet doors.

So the time has come for me to pick out a sink and faucet!

I know I want to make the kitchen sink a focal point, as it looks out onto a beautiful view and it’s situated sort of in the middle of the room.

An apron skirt seemed like a natural choice, but I had a hard time choosing between stainless steel and a more traditional white farmhouse one.

We had a white cast iron sink in our old home in New York, which I absolutely loved, but ultimately decided to go with a more modern look and picked out this stainless steel flat apron version.

Peeking Into Designer’s Homes

Caitlin Wilson's Home Tour

 

Caitlin Wilson Home Tour

 

I’m such a big fan of Caitlin Wilson’s designs.

I’ve been following her career since the very beginning. So it felt extra special to see this tour of Caitlin’s stunning Portland home in Domino magazine.

Photographed by Alyssa Rosenheck (seriously, when does Alyssa sleep?!) these beautiful images are providing me with some major design inspiration for our beach house project.

I’ll be referring to these photos when it comes time to style a bookcase, mix patterns and incorporate pops of color like a pro.

Not to mention all the classic blue and white accents Caitlin has all throughout her home.

I know a lot of readers love these timeless pieces just as much as I do. I figured if I found this home tour so inspiring, you would too!

Be sure to check out Caitlin’s website and her fabulous shop to find many of the beautiful decor items she uses here in her own home.

 

PS: Another gorgeous peek into a favorite designer’s own home!
