This room was one of the first projects I tackled in the house. It was spacious with lots of cabinets storage, long counters and could handle a large dining table. Being set directly off from both entrances it had to be an inviting space. As a person who enjoys entertaining and hosting family holidays, I knew this was a room where people would be spending a lot of time when they would visit. Not to mention, I love cooking and baking and I needed to love being in this room myself. We knew within the next 5 years we would be gutting it out and completely rebuilding it, so for the time being, I needed a quick fix to make it look presentable. I didn't want to sink big money into this room if it was going to be ripped out in a few years, so I had to be creative!
