Things are moving along extremely quickly on all things #LLProjectMomsKitchen to the point that I feel like I’m falling behind on these posts! It turns out that a baby shaped deadline lights a fire under just about everyone’s behinds (though I feel like I should maybe add a “don’t try this at home” disclaimer to that one)… And while I’ve admittedly been designing my mom’s kitchen for quite some time (our millworker actually measured for the cabinets back in November), construction is moving at a rapid pace, which I’m beyond grateful for. I have a wonderful team working tirelessly to meet my deadlines and they’ve all been absolutely incredible! I’ve chatted about them all quite a bit on Instagram Stories (so definitely follow along there, if you’re interested!), but I’ll be sure to share all of those details and more as we go if you, too, are on the hunt for some absolutely outstanding trades. 

Today, though? Today we’re going to take it all the way back to “the vibe”. I know, we’re so far past that at this point, but I realize that safe for a sneak peek here and there, as well as a look at the inspiration behind it all, you’ve never really seen exactly what we’re doing as far as the whole vibe is concerned. I’m going to let this mood board, of sorts, do most of the talking, but essentially we’re going for a completely classic, very transitional feel here. My main goal was to really infuse a whole lot more character and interest into my mom’s builder-basic home without going too over the top.

Attention to detail was (and is always, as far as I’m concerned) paramount. I really focused on adding a lot of architectural touches like beefier trim & casings, crown moulding, a shiplap ceiling, but all done in a very clean and elegant way. Similarly, all of our finishes (which I’ll chat more about next week!), fixtures, hardware, appliances, and accessories help bridge that gap between modern and traditional – which is my very favourite aesthetic of them all. While some items lean more traditional, they’re well balanced with more modern lines, keeping things fresh, classic, and inspiring the whole way though. Here’s a more visual peek of the overall vibe! While we’re still solidifying some of the furniture and accessories, for the most part these are the exact items we’re using (I’ve shared ALL of  the direct links below!)
