currently crushing: semihandmade.

September was such a busy fun month for us! But we’re getting back to working on the house and these past couple weekends were good ones. Although now that I’m finally sitting, I’m pretty sure my body has stiffened up to a point that I’ll never be able to move again!

We installed the last big piece of drywall in our kitchen. As I type, Dustin is finishing patching up the old light holes. Mannnnn, once you’re surrounded by that patchwork quilt of stone, it really helps to visualize the end result. We cannot wait for our kitchen to be done. Holy moly what a process. And we obviously have a long road ahead of us yet, but finally having all those walls closed up is such a good feeling. Mike the Mudder will be back to fill in all the gaps and smooth the corners from our hallway to the dining room, living room, kitchen, and stairwell. Then paint!

We purchased our cabinets from Ikea and decided on doors from Semihandmade. To keep our momentum going, I thought I’d share some drool worthy kitchens we’re pulling inspiration from.

I wanted all white appliances but was vetoed, unfortunately. Love this two tone approach by Almost Makes Perfect. Cabinet fronts from Semihandmade.

Not a kitchen, but a Semihandmade example nonetheless. Really feeling the Ann Sacks wall tile that Anna Bode used in her laundry room.

This next photo features custom cabinetry, not Semihandmade. But it’s so inspiring, we love following along with their progress!
