I’ve been really into the idea of mixing natural elements and hinting at a Spanish modern aesthetic. My dream is having a marble-esque counter on the middle island and dark butcher block around the perimeter. I want to reface our existing cabinets with classic shaker doors, all painted in a creamy off-white.

After living in the house for almost a year, we finally tackled the one project that we had been dreeeaming of! This wall between our living room and dining room is a the complete center of our house. You can walk a full circle around it and it’s always felt like it was in the way. But it’s a load-bearing wall so I knew that in order to open this space up, we’d have to get creative.
