Linn emailed us a little while ago with her cool kitchen remodel.
“I really just wanted to share some before and after pictures of my tiny kitchen which my husband and I spent a few weeks remodeling. Our small bungalow is from 1946 and it has a rather tiny kitchen which we wanted to preserve the integrity of, yet update and give a new fresh feel. We installed a black and white (marble and granite) checkerboard floor, refinished the old wooden cabinets and drawers, installed a stainless steel counter and tiled the walls with subway tile all the way to the ceiling. We did all of this ourselves on a budget of little over $6000 (including buying new appliances).”
Befores then afters… obviously 🙂 Great job Linn and Linn’s other half! Check out all the details on her blog The Home Project.









I have a thing about colour at the moment. I have a thing about kitchen dressers it seems too. I also have a thing for photographer Graham Atkins-Hughes. If anyone can capture moody colour then it’s Graham. The man’s a genius with the dark and dirty or the shady and smudgy.

I love nothing better in a kitchen than copper pots and pans hanging in all their glory. That and aged wood, scrubbed and loved. Wonder if the owner is a good chef? You’d expect so with such a wonderful collection. Lots of work to keep clean but oh so lovely. As is this photograph by Thibault Jeanson. So intimate and real.
