My Favorite Room......it's overflowing

Hi Savvy Friends! I am Aimee Lane from it's overflowing and I am very excited to be a part of Kim's "My Favorite Room" series. Savvy Southern Style has been one of my favorite blogs for a long time. It's such a treat to guest post here....a blog known for amazing inspiration and consistent quality!

In my home, "My Favorite Room" is where I spend the most of my time. I have three little sweeties who keep me busy cooking, loading, and unloading the dishwasher. (I wouldn't have it any other way). Up until last year, my kitchen was the envy of every 1950s homemaker. I'm so excited to share with you how we've updated our kitchen to bring it into this decade. For fear of scaring you away with ugliness, I'll start with an 'After' picture. Here is how my kitchen looks now, following our complete DIY kitchen remodel.

And here's the dreary kitchen before we tore out a wall, added trim, painted, and updated: appliances, cabinet pulls, and light fixtures!

My favorite part of our update is the extra cabinet with a pull out trash can that my hubby, aka my stud built for me. He built it extra deep for me so I can keep almost all of my appliances in this space.

The entire process took us a few of months. It was totally worth our blood, sweat, and tears.

As soon as I saw the kitchen brighten with paint, I ordered fabric from an online store to sew my corner window curtains. I selected two complimentary fabrics. The top third has a white background with tiny yellow polka dots. The bottom portion is about eight inches long and I used a Corn Yellow White Damask. I love how much light the fabric allows into the room, which floods into the rest of the house.

I usually keep a flower arrangement or potted plant on my raised corner shelf. As much as I love tulips, they've been replaced for Fall. I'll show you my Fallscape kitchen display soon.

I really like our graniteÉafter narrowing my selection down to white granites. White River Granite quickly became my favorite. It has a lot of movement which I think looks great. I love the white granite paired with white subway tiles. Both are airy, bright, and completely timeless, which is totally in contrast to my precious kitchen.

I showed you where I keep almost all of my appliances, all but our coffee maker. I'm not a coffee drinker (crazy, I know), but this machine also brews a delicious cup of tea! So good!

I'd love to have you over for a visit at It's Overflowing. I've labeled all of our kitchen projects and linked the coordinating numbers to help you navigate. And if a kitchen remodel isn't your thing, you can find crafts, photography tutorials, tips, decor inspiration, recipes, and other Home DIY Projects, too.

I consider any Savvy Friend a friend of mine! You're welcome anytime...

XO, Aimee Lane
