Hello, happy Monday, I hope you had a swell holiday weekend! Did you have a chance to check out the leather giveaway? Still time to enter!
But first I bring you the tale of a white kitchen with wooden countertops that got made over into a white kitchen with wooden countertops. What?! It’s true.
Better After reader Emily and her husband purchased their home from an elderly couple that hadn’t updated a thing for 30 years. (So whew, white kitchens are pretty timeless, in case you were worried). They replaced the faux counters with the real deal cherry butcherblock and Emily’s dad built new frames, drawers and doors for the cabinets (sight unseen, three states away! That’s a handy dad). A marble backsplash completes the look, and I think they’re good for at least another 30 years!
