Thank you for sharing the details of your beautiful home. Did you use White Dove Satin Impervo on the bead-board backsplash in the kitchen? My husband is concerned about using bead-board as our backsplash. Have you found it to be a durable option?
Your kitchen is absolute perfection. I seen it so many times and never saw this renovation post. I do have a few questions if you be so kind to answer. First I noticed you didn't take the cabinets and trim all the way to the ceiling and wondered what the reason was? Also you mentioned that your painter hand painted the cabinets. Can you be a little more specific about the process ? I love the fact that you didn't want them to be perfect. I saw your paint choice but wonder if they were oil base primed first or just painted with two coats? Thank you so very much
Thank you! Being an antique house once the new ell was added to the farmhouse the two ceilings didn't match up perfectly, so dropping the cabinets and making them level in the room resolved that issue. The primer coat on the cabinets were sprayed at the cabinet makers shop. They were installed primed only, then my painter applied two coats of the Benjamin Moore Satin Impervo in Latex. I believe the primer was oil, but don't remember for sure. They have held up beautifully.
Would you be so kind as to measure how far above your kitchen sink/counter your over sink pendant comes down or even just measure how long the pendant is? I want to purchase the same pendant from circa lighting but am unsure as to whether I need to order a custom height for the rod or not since I can't figure out how high the pendant should be above my sink. Hope that makes sense! Thank you!!!!!

ReplyDeleteMy under cabinets measure 24-1/4" D and 25-1/4" on the soapstone.
Hope this helps!

ReplyDeleteMarjorie, Yes, I did use BM's White Dove in the Latex Satin Impervo. For me, it has been a very durable option.
DeleteThank you so much for sending me the video on the making of Shaw fire clay sinks! It was really informative and so interesting. Very much appreciated!

ReplyDeleteThe measurement from the countertop (my sink sits a bit lower) to the base of the shade is approximately 46-3/4"
