Help Me Choose Quartz Countertops for the Kitchen

Oksana | FOXYOXIE.com — Fri, 31 Mar 2023 03:59:57 +0000

After a visit to the stone yard, I’m sharing my top 3 quartz countertop options. Help me choose the best one for our Sunrise Farm kitchen!

Earlier this week I visited the stone yard; it’s equally one of the most exciting and most nerve-wracking parts of every kitchen renovation. Exciting – because the countertop adds much-needed depth and personality to the kitchen. Nerve-wracking because, well, countertops are an investment, and making decisions isn’t my favorite.

Combined Pantry, Laundry and Mudroom at Sunrise Farm

Oksana | FOXYOXIE.com — Mon, 20 Feb 2023 04:06:09 +0000

Last week I shared our design plans for the kitchen. Today we’re moving on to the combined pantry, laundry and mudroom at Sunrise Farm.

Here’s where the room is, in relation to the rest of the house:

As you can see, it’s conveniently located next to the kitchen with only a doorway separating the two. It’s basically an extension of the kitchen, seeing how the kitchen has somewhat limited storage.

10 Smart Ways to Save on a Kitchen Remodel

Oksana | FOXYOXIE.com — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 05:01:38 +0000

Last week I shared the cost of the Greystone kitchen remodel in a reel on Instagram, and quite a few people were surprised by the number.

Did you know the average cost of a kitchen remodel in US is $26,000, with the range being $15,000 to $40,000? High-end, luxury kitchen remodels can run upwards of $175,000 and into millions. Once you understand national averages, you realize that spending $24,000+ on the Greystone kitchen is actually quite remarkable, considering its bigger-than-average size and the high-end materials we used.

Beadboard Backsplash: Everything You Need to Know

Oksana | FOXYOXIE.com — Tue, 24 Jan 2023 04:33:18 +0000

One of the most asked-about elements in the Greystone kitchen is the beadboard backsplash.

Beadboard backsplashes are often found in traditional European kitchens. Think of brands like deVol Kitchens or Plain English; beadboard paneling is one of the most defining elements of the cottagecore aesthetic these two brands are most known for.

Beadboard paneling adds the perfect dose of quaint charm to any space and is a beautiful, inexpensive way to add that old world charm to your project, too.

Greenfield Kitchen Remodel Cost Breakdown

Oksana | FOXYOXIE.com — Fri, 11 Nov 2022 04:24:35 +0000

We have zero remodeling projects going on at the moment, so it’s no surprise that I’m dreaming about the future, when we do. Two of our rental properties are due for a kitchen remodel, not to mention we’re on the hunt for our “forever home,” which will (hopefully) include another kitchen renovation.

In case you’re new here, we sold the Greenfield Remodel back in August and have been full-time RV living since then.

DIY Soap Dispenser with Repurposed Kombucha Bottles

You’re likely already familiar with my never-ending quest to update all utilitarian household items with ones that combine both form and function. I cannot help it; I need everyday household items to look pretty – without compromising on function, of course. The extra investment is worth it to me, because it makes mundane tasks that much more enjoyable.

I’ve previously shared roundups of 1) modern oil dispensers, 2) beautiful salt and pepper sets, 3) neutral everyday dishes, and 4) laundry and mudroom organization tools.

Kitchen Cabinet Latch Hardware Roundup

Oksana | FOXYOXIE.com — Wed, 10 Aug 2022 19:18:54 +0000

One of my most favorite details in the Greystone kitchen is also one of the smallest: the cabinet latch. I only have three installed, but when used thoughtfully, cabinet latches instantly elevate the overall feel of the kitchen.

There’s something so utilitarian and old-fashioned about them, don’t you agree? They’re a mix of old-world charm and modern European style. Although cabinet latches are no longer necessary to keep cabinet doors closed like in the old days, their vintage appeal cannot be denied.

You know when you have a wonderful idea, but for one reason or another it takes you seventeen years to implement that idea, and when you finally do make it happen, everyone else and their mother has already implemented that idea or is in the process of implementing that idea – so it looks like you’re just joining the herd?

That’s been my luck with this project.

Gray Kitchen Backsplash Tile Under $10

Remodeling your kitchen? I’m sharing my favorite gray kitchen backsplash tile options under $10, along with some personal stories!

The other day an Instagram follower asked if I had gray kitchen backsplash tile recommendations that would look good with Luna Pearl granite.

Luna Pearl is the granite we installed at our Edgmon Ranch project, seen above. This reminder sent me on a walk down memory lane, and I’d like to share some of those memories with you.
