Black, White and Brass Kitchen Remodel

Affiliate links included in this post.  I need to be clear on something. This remodel of The 70’s Landing Pad has not been a one man band. It has not been a two or a three or a four man band either. It’s more like a fix or six man band, made up of random…

How to Raise Cabinets - Learn how we raised our base cabinets to accommodate for a refrigerator that was taller than the base cabinets.

How to Raise Cabinets

September 14, 2015 By Jenna 9 Comments

So sometimes during a big project or after I finish a project, I start looking at all the little projects that made up that big project and I decide that some of those little projects probably wouldn’t be that interesting to you.

So I don’t bother too much with pictures and I don’t post about it.

But then months later, someone will ask me something specific about that small project that helped to make the bigger project possible and I will realize that I probably should have posted about that.

Does any of this make sense? Its late and I’ve been drinking. And apparently that makes me use the word projects too much.

So there’s that.

Anyway, if you remember way back in January, Grunt Labor and I finally finished his man cave.

In order to deem the man cave livable, he had to have a beverage center (a.k.a. a fancy name for a mini refrigerator). But when the beverage center arrived, it was a bit taller than the opening we had for it, thus we needed to raise the cabinets or get a new refrigerator.

Raising the cabinets was cheaper and faster than getting a new beverage center.

So you can guess which option won.

Fall Home Tour: Cowboys and Elvis

September 10, 2015 By Jenna 43 Comments

This fall tour is not at all about pumpkins.

Sorry if you were ready for pumpkins.

Instead its about some of my favorite fall-ish things…cowboy hats and boots…red plaid blankets…and Elvis.

Ok, Elvis isn’t really fall-ish, but its my house and I’ll do what I want to.

If you want pumpkins and leaves and all that jazz, check back in a few weeks when I’ve actually had time to remember where I stored all that decor from last year.

Kitchen Makeover: Take Two

August 18, 2015 By Jenna 58 Comments

Hi. My name is Jenna.

I’m a recovering neutral decorator.

Yes friends, there was a time when I turned solely to whites and beiges for decorating.

I knew no better. I thought I liked it. I thought it was my style.

I was so damn wrong.

As soon as I spray painted my first piece kelly green, there was no going back.

And then I discovered the no-fail combo of kelly green and navy and it was as if the design gods smiled down upon me and showered me with their wisdom.

Ok, maybe that was a little much, but you get the idea.

I am a color girl.

And when we renovated the beloved foreclosure I opted for beiges, whites, and light blues.

And they were pretty. I’m not bashing on beige.

But they weren’t me.

So slowly but surely, every room in this house has gotten re-made over.

The kitchen was especially in need of color. This is what it looked like before we added in some glorious color (besides the barstools.)

Summer Home Tour

Summer Home Tour: The Details Make The Space

June 11, 2015 By Jenna 34 Comments

It doesn’t matter how many times I paint a piece of furniture or upholster a chair – if the accessories around it don’t look good, the furniture or chair won’t shine and the space will fall short.

The details make the space.

It took me a really long time to realize that.

And a lot of backaches and wasted paint.

I get it now though – and even if we are just talking about decorating – the pain was worth the reward.

As dramatic as that sounds.

So this summer home tour is about the details.

The quirky little objects that I love.

That some may find ugly.

Or even tacky.

But for me, they make my space a reflection of my family.

And that’s all that matters.

So if you love it or hate it, either way, I don’t care.

Because we love it.

And its how we fly our freak flag.

Welcome to our freak show.

Had NO CLUE on most of these! Must Read Cleaning Tips

9+ Must Read Cleaning Tips

May 14, 2015 By Jenna 256 Comments

If we’re being honest, and since I’m always honest with you, my house is not clean right now.

Its not clean at all.

May is a whirlwind of events for us and cleaning is not one of those events that tends to take place during the month.

Until there is a mad dash next Friday to clean right before the kid’s birthday party so that our guests don’t turn and run screaming out the door…

I can hear the circus talking to her therapist in ten years, “Everyone showed up for my birthday party that year, but then made a beeline for the door when they saw dust an inch thick and dried crusty milk on the floor. They took all their presents with them. I’ve never been the same since.”

Therapy is going to cost me a fortune.

So next week, to hopefully cut down on therapy costs, these are my best cleaning tips that I will actually do…well at least everywhere that guests will be… 😉

March 24, 2015 By Jenna 82 Comments

You guys.

You guys.

No really, you guys.

So much has changed since the last time I did a full home tour.

Especially my living room. And my kitchen.

I’m almost pee-my-pants excited to show you.

And now that I think about the things that have changed in the past two months, I realize I have no clue how it all got done and that I must be insane.

Oh wait, we already knew that.

Even though, I know you’ve already seen the entryway, let’s start there since its still new-ish.

Almost too good to be true! How I Clean My Kitchen with one single thing...

How I Clean My Entire Kitchen With One Single Thing

March 17, 2015 By Jenna 249 Comments

Let me be the first to say that I am not a great house cleaner.

If you’ve been around here long enough, I’m sure you could have easily guessed that one.

Its not that I’m a bad house house cleaner, its just that I don’t do it often enough.

We don’t have week old food laying out on the kitchen counter or anything, but most days its questionable as to what the sticky substance on the countertop might be.

I’m just keeping it real, y’all.

However, when I do get around to cleaning – like I did yesterday so that I could take photos for an upcoming house tour that didn’t include gross sticky unknown substances – I clean my kitchen with one single thing. I call it my little mouse.

Fo’ Realz.

Full of easy to do ideas that are pretty, but also functional. 10+ Kitchen Ideas: Decorating, Organizing, Storage

10+ Kitchen Ideas for Decorating, Organizing, and Storage

February 20, 2015 By Jenna 24 Comments

I am all about a pretty space.

I’m also all about a real life space.

The problem is that pretty + real life don’t always work together.

And real life tends to trump pretty everyday of the week.

I always struggle with finding that happy balance between pretty and real life in the kitchen.

Prime example: the chips will always live on top of the fridge. No, its not pretty, but that’s where we expect them to be, so that’s where they will always be come hell or high water unless we magically get more pantry or cabinet space…which I won’t hold my breath for.

That being said, these are my best kitchen ideas for merging real life and pretty.

7 {To Die For} White Kitchens

June 24, 2014 By Jenna 17 Comments

Ok, maybe not To Die For, but you know what I mean. They are good.

Way good.

Let’s talk about white kitchens for a moment, shall we?

First off, let’s define them. To me, a white kitchen is one that is mostly white of course. It doesn’t mean that all the cabinets have to be white, the backsplash white, or the countertops all white. To me, it just means that when you look at the overall space, it feels light and airy.

Personally, I love white kitchens. To me, they have the most clean lines and seem the most inviting.

DIY Kitchen Island with salvaged wood

January 22, 2014 By Jenna 73 Comments

Every time I post about my kitchen, it seems that you guys love the island the most.

And I love that you love it the most.

That piece is pretty special to me.

So special that I regularly threaten to be laid out on it when I die.

{Insert Grunt Labor rolling his eyes here.}

If you have read about the full kitchen makeover renovation, you know it has come a really long way. We knocked down walls, moved appliances, painted cabinets, took out cabinets, dealt with rude plumbers and much more.

And it was all worth it.

So, here is how we built the kitchen island.
