Appliances in. Please help me pick lights.

(It’s me. I've wanted to change my name for a while now.)

What a difference.
We’re happy with the new look.

No close up of the faux roman shade because it's still not finished. I’m
debating trim and may alter it a bit.
I’m using 4 tensions rods at the moment, but am considering just sewing
the folds in place since this will be a stationary shade. If I were to redo this (and I’m seriously
considering it), I’d make one out of a mini blind and use blackout
liner behind so you wouldn't see the few remaining slats. Lots of great tutorials on this. (I did use a blackout liner on mine.)

I talked about possibly adding square tin panels behind the stove and trimming it out. I also considered adding glass to the stove area. The specs don’t call for anything and I like the clean look of just the beadboard for now. If we would have added glass there wouldn’t be an easy way to repaint. It just didn’t seem like a good long term idea.

I painted the beadboard the same color as the walls. The room is north facing and I can actually see the blue from the light in the early morning mainly under the cabinets. It’s amazing how it looks so very different from the other walls this time of day. I also don’t love the color the under cabinet lighting changes the paint to. I think the room could benefit from a slightly deeper and more red beige. I’m not repainting right now, but my sample of BM Stone House (that I never even bothered to check before) looks good.

I’m still not concerned about any damage to the beadboard long term. I’ve found it helpful, and it’s probably smart, to stick a hand towel behind the area if I’m hand washing any dishes.

I’m keeping the antique brass hardware for now. I think I’d like a satin nickel just fine too.

I'd like to add a shiny, pretty faucet. The new one won't have a filter attached.

I’m going to add back wood corbels. I’m thinking these in oak. I just need to order some. I have a feeling it will never get done if I don't take care of it soon.
