little pieces of normal

The kitchen (although the cabinets are dumpy) is our current normal zone. My dad did an excellent job painting the walls this beautifully soft yellow. Natalie hung the shelves. We find in the spaces a haven from all the work and all the dust. A place where we eat and enjoy company. Without zones of normalcy I would go crazy.

These cabinets are fantastic. I believe they are flat-packed.

Kitchen Cabinets

The kitchen will be eggshell white
(we have the perfect eggshell waiting for color matching).
The cabinets, we have decided, should be an assorted sort found at reclamation centers, craigslist, and alleys. We will paint this sorted sundry Celadon color matched from a Japanese hand thrown vessel. The doors will be replaced and crafted by Hand in Hand Design (a local design firm that we just love) out of Catalpa wood sourced from here in Illinois.

Cabinets and Drawers

Cabinets:
I have never been a fan of OSB but for sturdy rough doors for our studio I think I will make an exception.
