It’s been quite a while since we showed some new work, but that all changes this week!
On Thursday, Remodelista (link updated!) is publishing photos of Beth Kirby’s Chattanooga kitchen, which we redid back in January while living in a tiny little cabin just over the Alabama line. Beth (aka Local Milk) just won double Best Photography Blog honors from Saveur, so the photos are sure to be stunning.
We also lured Beth north in June to photograph the Upstate NY home we started redoing in March. Those photos will start trickling out this week, with a Design*Sponge Before & After (link updated) teaser running this Thursday, followed by a full Sneak Peek on Monday.
Oh, plus we’re being interviewed for a podcast this morning, but I won’t say which one until we’ve previewed it and ensured we definitely don’t sound like idiots.
Here’s one more shot of Beth’s kitchen, complete with the styling wizard herself!
I want you to know how much I enjoy your work.
I check your blog at least once a week for a new posting.
I also think it is important to share with you that I realize how
difficult it is too keep up with all you do.
For some reason, I have yet to understand, I am compelled do all my
remodeling myself.
It takes a single minded determination to do the work, source the materials,
and feed myself.
I can’t wait for tomorrow to see your new project.
Thank you both.
Thank you, Kathy! We really appreciate it.
Definitely no easy task doing everything yourself, but it sure is worth it in the end!
Your work is simply amazing. Would it be possible for you to give a quick explanation on how you did the kitchen walls? Is that paint mixed with plaster? Thank you for such gorgeous inspiration!
Thanks, Gina! It’s just straight up plaster, water finished and polished. I used USG Diamond Veneer Finish there. It takes a few years to get a good feel for it, so I don’t really recommend just winging it. But some people do!
So full of heart. Looks like the soul of the home.
