I'm going to be chalk boarding my pantry area in the next couple weeks and I might have to steal your etsy decal idea!

My question is - do you think it's confusing - the year you moved in vs. the year the house was built? I would have a hard time choosing between the two... Also, because Jeremy and I aren't married we have different last names. I might just do "[Street name] house - established 1929."

I love it! I would love to be able to watch some Entertainment Tonight or something while cooking. Very sharp installation too, nice work!

Cabinet hardware is to die for.

Absolutely breathtaking, I love all parts of your kitchen!

I, too, am going to be chalkboarding a door soon and just may have to "borrow" your decal idea - it's just so darn cute!

I love, love, love how your kitchen turned out. The vinyl decal is the perfect finishing touch!

j&k - sure, you could have the year as the year the house was built. That would make it more like a plaque; it'll look great too. I used the year we bought the house because I thought it was a bit more personal (plus, I like how it said "home" established and not "house" established)

We were JUST talking about painting a chalkboard and white paint version of a monthly calendar on a door near our kitchen. Yours is super cute (thanks for the how-to tips, too!), and very inspirational.

If I didn't also have a similarly gorgeous kitchen as yours, I'd be dying of envy. That's how shallow I am, I guess. But I do love yours. You guys did such a lovely job.

Love, love, love, love, love . . .

Love the chalkboard and the decal.

I was very anti tv in the kitchen until I actually hade one. Now I need it. Its a nice little distraction. Do you have cable hooked up to it?

Yes, mrs. limestone, we have cable... though we only ever seem to watch HGTV or the Food Network ;)

i would love to have a tv in our kitchen! our ipod dock normally ends up in the kitchen, i guess i like to have background noise while cooking :-)

i also love the chalkboard idea, i've been thinking of doing something similar in our kitchen.

I could live in your kitchen. Seriously, I could set up a little bed and I'd be happy. Love the chalkboard and decal.

Obsessed with your kitchen! Great Job! I agree I could also live in your kitchen!

Great little details. Can't wait to see the curtains!

WOW! The TV is in!!! What a sweet treat for cooking!!! :) :)

i love the magnetic chalboard idea so much i went out and got some sheet metal and the etsy sign (with the year we were married on it)

thanks for the inspiration!

Your kitchen is absolutely beautiful. I am in the process of choosing granite for my white cabinets, and was wondering how you have felt about your Kashmir White. It is my first choice, but I have read that it tends to stain easily. Have you had that experience? Thank you!

Thanks Amy! I am very happy with the Kashmir White. I haven't had any issues with staining. However, I have noticed our slab has a few small yellow spots (look like coffee droplets) which I hadn't noticed before installation so that's something to watch for. Overall, I'm really happy with the look and feel of it.

Love the magnetic chalkboard~ it's so charming! Love your blog too- new follower here- would love if you would stop by and say hello! I love renovating too! Stopping by from the chalkboard party.

Love that you added the decal! You have one of my favorite kitchens too.

Thanks for coming to the party!
