Kitchen Cabinets, Fall Color, and More: Style Showcase
Happy Tuesday, friends! It’s time for another edition of Style Showcase and today’s line-up is especially inspiring. You’ll enjoy the gorgeous fall colors of Cape Cod, the return of wooden kitchen cabinets, a hallway makeover, and a ginormous home tour (9,500 square feet!).
Southern Hospitality | Fall Color on Cape Cod
Rhoda shares scenes from her fall trip to Cape Cod, and let me say, I’m so envious of anyone who lives in this area. All the history and charm tugs at my heartstrings. Take a look and you’ll find yourself wanting to plan your next fall vacation.
Town and Country Living | Wood Cabinets in the Kitchen
Much to the delight of homeowners and kitchen lovers, wood cabinets are making a comeback. While painted cabinets aren’t likely to go out of fashion anytime soon, more people are embracing the warmth of wood. Enjoy the inspiration of a variety of wood cabinet styles that I’m sharing today.
Worthing Court | Long Dark Hallway Makeover
Suzy shares how she transformed a dark, windowless hallway into a light and airy space. But that’s not all – you can also download the prints she used!
Shabbyfufu | Preserving Character While Updating A Historic Home
Wow! That was the first word out of my mouth when I saw the exterior of the 9,500 square foot home that Janet features today. What an impressive home.
I just have to be focused on my small- 1500 sq ft- 2 story old (1880 with hideous updates over the decades, lol) upstate/central NY house, lol. (Think Syracuse and Utica, NOT the lovely Hudson /Catskill regions.) And be realistic with the incredible cost of materials, wood, etc, Plus, there is a dearth of carpenters, plumbers, etc here- young people aren’t going into these trades. I can’t get a basic window replaced, and my furnace guy is over 60 and worn out from over work. While I love all your gorgeous homes, for inspiration, just not attainable for me, or anyone I know.
And while I love that narrow hallway makeover, I am living with old, mismatched floorboards and stair treads, worn hardwoods, etc. and would love to sink my feet into a lovely carpet. It’s just me, a single older woman, and it just seems more than I can tackle. Any suggestions?
Oh, I agree, Susan! But we can always dream, right? Eileen
