PAINT COLOR:

Classic Light Buff by Sherwin-Williams (the cabinets were color matched in a cabinet finish)

COUNTERTOP DETAILS:

Our layout also gave us the option for efficiency in the kitchen all around. I’m a big fan of long stretches of uninterrupted counters, so we made sure to include plenty of prep space.for the chef as well as any helpers.

Carrara marble (honed) on perimeter

Soapstone on island (we kept ours natural, we don’t oil it!)

We also added a backsplash in marble by most of the counters and behind the stove — I love how it classic it looks (which is the look we were going for, like the kitchen has been here for years!). I’m so glad we added that detail at the last minute. The extra marble feels nice in the room and looks cleaner than just caulking around the beadboard.

WALL DETAILS:

Beadboard walls (they are tongue and groove boards–I think they are pine or cedar, I can’t remember which!).

Tongue and groove paneling on the ceiling (it’s similar to the walls, but on the backside it makes a “v” groove instead of the front side which is the bead.)

HARDWOOD FLOORS:

We have European white oak engineered hardwood floors (we bought ours locally, not sure on the brand). I love the character (perfect for a beach house, but also a classic timeless look). They make the house so feel light and happy even in the winter time.
