Interesting to hear that "white ice" is the new trend. Although it looks lovely, I will be sure to buy a different color/texture now. ;) Even while owning stainless, I can agree it's over-saturated.

@pi - I love sterile too! Nothing is allowed on my kitchen counter tops. Principle of it & all!

@weatherman - Great lead on "skins" for the big appliances! Much more practical. And our poor landfills filling b/c of trends!?!?

Apologies, I can't recall who first mentioned it, but I too am dead sick of "house hunters" demanding granite & stainless... especially when they have to ask, "is this granite?" If you have to ask, you don't deserve it!!!

Had to look at the "before" photo twice to make sure this was the right after - just too awesomely different. Very cool! Love seeing projects like this.

Love this home tour - more please! It shows that practical can still be beautiful (that water cooler!). The combination of contemporary & traditional are perfect.

Perfectly gorgeous!

@VioletJo thanks for the background story, makes it more understandable and frankly I think it's neat they accomplished this themselves.
Love the layering of design throughout the home. After the tour, my only thought was, so many things to dust.

Really pretty, I love modern & contemporary styles but always find it difficult to make it still look warm and cozy... this pulls it off perfectly.

Thanks for the post! We moved and other than a few pieces, we are starting from scratch. Sounded fun but finding it's a bit overwhelming and have stalled due to lack of decision - this might be just the ticket to get us moving.

The framed peacock feather creation is beautiful. I want to make one too now!

Our current place has espresso wood floors throughout - 2 adults, no pets... beautiful, yes, but NOT worth it. And after living in Asia, we no longer wear shoes in the house either.
While I love the light filled living room & kitchen, it just makes the dust that much more obvious, and the kitchen is the worst culprit. If you wash your hands or load the dishwasher and a drop of water falls, the dried water marks really stand out on the floor!
I've already looked into finding the best quality air filters to help cut down on dust but wondering if the roomba would actually work.
