Our new/old house is being remodeled--not a full house remodel because two bedrooms and one bathroom are staying the same, at least for the time being. But nearly 100% of the downstairs and the master bedroom and en suite bathroom and dressing room are being done. When we purchased the house it still had a kitchen and bathroom from around 1975 and those were very dated and worn. Additionally, since we wanted to utilize the space that was originally where the horses and carriages entered the stable, we had to knock a entryway through a brick wall. The original room has 16 foot ceilings and great wooden beams. We are putting up a wall to make a "garage" at one end and then the part with the new doorway will be mostly left as is (brick walls and Belgian block and cement floors) but will have all new lighting and include the new heating and cooling systems mechanical parts.
The new kitchen is going to be one large space but with two distinct areas--one for the cooking and cleaning up and one for breakfast, lunch, baking, etc. I got a large Wolf range to cook on and those come with red knobs as standard. So I decided to do a tile backsplash behind the range and around that end of the kitchen using the classic Diamond in a Square from Amish quilting. Here are the colors of the tiles as well as the colors of the two sets of cabinetry.
The green tile is the field. The blue tile will make the diamond part with corner accents of the wine color. Then there will be four patch accents above the counter around that end of the kitchen. The upper wood color is cherry but stained in hazelnut and the bottom blue wood is the other end of the kitchen where there will be a small table and four leather chairs--two green and two blue. I will post pictures when the project is done.
