We all wonder how much that is and sometimes the answer is actually not so bad.

We remodeled this kitchen after a loss after a loss. That's right two losses. Flood, Fire. I didn't expect or want either. My goal after that was to sell the house. I had it in mind to do the best I could and that meant maximizing the sale value of the home with a beautiful but cost-effective kitchen and I think we managed to accomplish that and there's a few pretty quick things I did to really make it the whole look succinct and sparkly.
The first thing I did is keep a very simple neutral palette. I just wanted to provide a beautiful blank slate for potential buyers. Wood, white and gold. The kitchen before this was an all-white and I really liked that kitchen, but I wanted to switch it up with a dark cabinet, but I quickly realized with only one south facing window I needed all the light I could get. So, the very attractive compromise was a two-tone kitchen. Brooklyn Fawn from KCD a shaker style base cabinets and Brooklyn White also from KCD a shaker style wall cabinet. Which really feels a lot more grounded than all white to me.






This gold hardware is really inexpensive I think it was $50 for a ten pack of 5-inch handles. They just keep up with the sparkly that this kitchen presents as. And a gold bridge faucet. It has a useful pull-down feature and it adds a little character that goes well with a farmhouse sink.
I committed to bringing the counters up the back of the oven wall. Counter will always match counter, and I didn't have to cry about it. On the back wall I chose a pricey marble mosaic backsplash with gold details and although it was $22/sqft I only had to cover 15 sqft of wall with it.
