What a great update! I’m in love with the island.

You guys are seriously renovation MAGICIANS!!! I can’t believe how professional and impeccable this transformation is and it’s amazing how you guys had a hand in everything.
LOVE the dark cabinets, I was pumped when you were mentioning it on Insta-stories. It’s a bold decision and I think it totally paid off!

Love this so much! Gorgeous 🙂 I also loved your tips about finding the studs for open shelving and keeping things away from the stove – we had a shelf over the stove in an old apartment and everything was so nasty! haha
Can’t wait to see how the rest of the house unfolds! 🙂

I love the butcherblock countertops! Do you have to finish off the wood or does it come finished?
-
Where did you get the butcher block counter tops from?
-
How did you seal your butcher block? Did you seal the shelves the same way? We keep sealing ours and the turn out orange:(
-
Kitchen looks incredible! Good work!!
Curious if you stained the counter top? We just bought the same butcher block from lowes but now realize for food safety, we can’t stain it?!

Hi Kayla, Thank you! We used this stuff https://www.lowes.com/pd/WATCO-16-fl-oz-Butcher-Block-Oil/3153369 and then maintain it with this https://www.lowes.com/pd/Howard-12-fl-oz-Oil-Based-Interior-Stain/999918606 We are debating putting a clear coat of poly on it though…we dont cut directly on it anyway so unless you’re actually using it as a cutting board you can just as easily clear coat it with a water based poly

In love with this reno!
For the cabinets – did you just use the Valspar Chalky paint? Or is there a coat of something else on top that creates that finish?
-
We used a water based poly over the chalky paint. The same one we used on the floors which I linked in our living room reveal!

Hi do you have the code for the paint? Tnx love everything!!
-
What color and brand are your cabinet pulls?
-
Beautiful! It really shows that you don’t have to have a giant space to have a great kitchen. Inspiring me to re-do mine!

Hi Jess! Absolutely LOVE how all of this turned out. Now that you’ve lived with the butcher block for a little while, how are they holding up? How often do you re-seal? I know you two use your kitchen frequently so I thought you’d be the perfect person to ask!
-
One of them isn’t sealed (with poly) at all and the one on the sink side was sealed with water based poly (we waxed them both but it wasn’t enough for the sink side to prevent water staining and cracking). They’ve held up pretty well, I think we will sand and seal the island one soon. I think it really depends on the wood and your climate. We’ve been pretty lucky with ours but I know someone that installed one similar timing as us and there’s is cracking and splitting a lot more. If there is drastic climate changes it can make the wood contract and expand which will make more splits and cracks (depending on the wood too).

Love the kitchen! For your little prep sink, what did you go with? I have a wood counter and a delta champagne bronze facet as part of my remodel but am not sure what color sink to go with for my prep sink. Thank you.

Thanks! This is the prep sink we have https://rstyle.me/+_xAEwcO1qiPLmsB00U62cw

How high is your bar top that extends out? We are redoing ours right now and trying to find the perfect height! Thanks !

Your custom kitchen range hood is worth appreciating for beautifying the all-over kitchen look!
