Hello,

I’ve been scouring your blog for a tutorial on your open shelves! Do you have a tutorial? They are beautiful.

Hi there! What are the dimensions and configuration of your kitchen island? Id love to build one similar for our space. Our current island is too bulky.

In reply to Mary. Thank you so much Mary! I actually used a duvet from the Ballard Designs outlet. I originally purchased it to make a slipcover for my living room ottoman and had a good bit of fabric let over to make the slipcover for the stool. I don't believe they sell it anymore, but it was called Daisy, I believe.

This is such a lovely, lovely kitchen. Would you mind sharing one detail? Where did you find the light beige windowpane fabric which covers your barstool? Looking for a similar fabric to cover an ottoman. Thank you!

In reply to Patty. Hi Patty, thank you so much! I'm so glad they've been helpful. We used a foam roller on the cabinet bases and a small brush to get the corners of the openings. We used a paint sprayer on all of the doors and drawers. You can certainly use a sprayer on the bases as well, just be sure to cover everything else very well and ventilate the space. There tends to be a lot of tiny over-spray.

Hi Amanda, I followed your tutorial for refinishing my Ikea butcher block counter top and I am so happy with the results. Thank you so much for the tutorial and pictures. I now want to paint the cabinets and have read your tutorial on how you painted your cabinets several times. I can’t wait to get started! I am going to use Benjamin Moore swiss coffee paint too and I would like to know what application did you use… paint brush, roller, or did you spray them? I have read in other tutorials where both an paint brush and roller are used.
Your house is beautiful! And your tutorials are very thorough, thank you!

Hi Melissa! Thank you so much! Warm tones are so cozy and inviting and Swiss Coffee is a great choice for that. Yes, we did stain and seal our countertops. I have a post where I shared all about that – https://sincerelymariedesigns.com/how-to-refinish-butcher-block-countertops/ I hope that helps!

Would love more information have you stained and sealed your butcher block. Your kitchen is gorgeous. Love the warmer tones, I’m transitioning our home from cooler tones as well and Swiss Coffee is perfect.
