I bet you think I forgot to show you the end result, didn't you?
Well, there was a bit of a stall, it seems her American-harvested wood floor is sent on a slooooooooow boat to China to be hand-scraped and then sent on a much slooooower boat home. I am actually not kidding. That's why it was on back-order. So, my patient Mom waited 2 months for her floor to come in. We really didn't want to compromise since that is what we picked the cabinets off of. The good news is the counter tops go in next week and then we can start the fun part... accessorizing!!
Of course being the bad blogger I am I forgot my good camera, so here are some awesome pictures from my crappy phone for you.
I think it's so funny how different our tastes are. It's been kind of fun helping her and doing a completely different style than what I am used to. I have a bunch of inspiration pictures for her space to show you tomorrow.
The new floor looks gorgeous and goes so well with the cabinets. I am glad we didn't compromise and pick something else just to get it done.. .Not that you can tell by these high quality images. :)
