    Wow, love that cabinet color! I think a battery operated wall light over the window, lighting up the sink would look great, maybe with a metal shade that mirrors the hardware on the cabinets? A patterned large rug would look great between the island & cabinets would totally bring it all together! Nice job!

    • @thisgirlathome
      @thisgirlathome  2 роки тому

      I did consider a light above the sink, but the space between the top of the window frame and the ceiling is small so it looked very crammed. We also do have a recessed light right above the sink so that lights it up! Thank you for watching!! ☺️🖤

    I am so glad I ran across your channel. We have started thinking about remodeling our Kitchen (and baths) in our premanufacture home. We basically have the same cabinets as you. I was so impressed with what you did in your video, your kitchen turned out absolutely amazing and looks very much like what I hope to achieve. It definitely made me realize that the work and steps involved to make it look like this are not going to be a quick weekend job like so many other videos had me believing.We are now thinking that perhaps we are better off redesigning and fixing a few things we hate about the kitchen layout and going with new cabinets . It seems like some of the off the shelf options at some of the big box store are not horribly priced. Love your channel, thank you

    Nice job! I thought it was nice prior to your work. But new the paint and island really is a nice touch.
    I know it was painstaking, but I know every time you walk your kitchen, you say, “It was so worth it.”
