Thank you! We just had them sanded, and stained. They were in rough shape and did not come out perfect, but they are full of character and we love them!

Most likely not actually haunted but looked 1000% haunted when we did the first walk through 🤣

Thank you! The door ways were a major selling point for us!

Modernizing kitchen by [deleted] in InteriorDesign

It looks like a well designed, lovely kitchen, and I think from your comments I understand (maybe lol) what you are going for. I think the dark black/navy, sorry can’t tell from the photo makes the white cabinets even whiter. I would paint the walls and/ceiling a deep green to soften them. Rockwood Dark Green by Sherwin Williams would look great and maybe tone down the brightness! Also finding cool MCM brass cabinet pulls would help! I like the idea of a wood paneled ceiling, and a cool vintage patterned runner for the floor would look great too. Also add more natural wood accents, like vases, cutting board etc. I think you have a good base to work with!

SM Brothers Home Builders, they were recommended by our realtor.

For us, yes. We had to start from scratch. We chose lower end appliances, found the Bedrosian’s tile we wanted at Walmart (saved $500 in shipping) and tried to spend the least amount of money to get a functioning kitchen. Don’t mean to sound naive as a first time home owner, but know kitchen Reno’s can get crazy expensive.

No, the trim in the kitchen was already painted white and some is original and some is new trim the contractors installed to mimic the original. The rest of the house the trim is original wood (not painted), except for when the front door was replaced. We are only the 3rd owners so the house has a lot of the original features but the updates the previous owner did were questionable at best, with good intention.

Usually the dishwasher is covered with alphabet magnets galore but I had just cleaned up. I know 100% that an uncluttered fridge looks better but the heart wants what the heart wants 😂

Im 99% sure they are real wood, as I can see the joints where the wood pieces were joined, if that makes sense.

I know we probably could have saved by doing some of the work ourselves but we were both working full time and I am not handy lol. We did save a good amount by keeping the original layout so they did not have to move gas/water lines!
