Me and My House

Over the past few months, I have really enjoyed getting to start planning for our new house. Pinterest has been a great place for us to find inspiration, especially for our new kitchen. 

After seeing Sarah Richardson's beach cottage kitchen, I knew I would like a similar backsplash for our kitchen.

We started hunting for a similar tile to the one in Sarah's kitchen. We found so many great tiles as we started our search, but none of them were exactly what we were looking for. 

We were on a mission to find Sarah's backsplash. My mom and I looked high and low online, and I even watched an episode of her show, hoping she might reveal where she got that tile. Even Rodney got in on the search, looking at tile stores in Dallas. Finally, I went to her website, looked through the resources from her cottage makeover, and found the match! I immediately pinned the source so we wouldn't lose it.

The tile was the Marble Mosaics Sunflower pattern from Saltillo Imports. After Rodney persistently called the offices in Indianapolis and Toronto for a week, the tile is finally on its way.

I was also inspired when I saw these gray kitchen cabinets. I discovered that they were Benjamin Moore's Silver Lake shade, which turns out to be one of Nate Berkus' "go-to" grays!

So after finding inspiration on Pinterest for both our backsplash tile and paint and finding the exact matches, we are thrilled to add these details to our new kitchen. I can't wait to share the finished product once we make the changes!
