FINALLY--Phase 1 is complete!!!!
From 1978 Ranch to 2021 Rustic Ranch. . .
As typically seen in a 1970s ranch, we had separate kitchen, dining, and living rooms. We had a living room space that hadn't been used since our son moved out and was essentially catching a lot of junk. The kitchen space was TINY and aggravating. Everything was dark and depressing and I was just tired of it. We opened up the wall between the living room and dining room and took out the peninsula cabinet to create one big open concept great room.
Utilizing reclaimed support beams and floor joists from a house built in 1756 that we purchased from
Terry's Reclaimed Lumber in Millen, GA we were able to create a beautiful open concept space. We also stained the floors using a product called
Concrete Camouflage. We used Western Brown with Coffee and Mossy Green accents.
We converted a coat closet that was not needed into a dry bar/liquor cabinet. It looks Awesome and will be much more useful than a coat closet in a part of the country that you rarely need a coat. We also changed out the front door for a new Burgundy 3 diamond lite door that mimics one you might see in a 1978 ranch house. It's Beautiful!!
The kitchen cabinets have 42" uppers and are SW7728 Green Sprout in a Satin Finish with oil rubbed bronze pulls. The walls are SW6631 Naïve Peach and the ceiling is SW6435 Gratifying Green.
The splash tiles are hand painted Mexican Talavera Tiles. These are absolutely gorgeous! Did I mentioned that Cabinet Masters in Swainsboro, Georgia did a Fantastic job on the cabinets and they #NailedIt with my potato and onion drawers that I asked for!
The open shelving is made from sunken cypress pulled from Savannah River and the Countertops are epoxy coated Acacia Wood butcher block. Adding the sliding glass door will allow us to open up the space for outdoor living/entertaining. We made the island by repurposing an old dresser, adding casters and an oiled butcher block top.
The living room area has a Stressless Reclining Sofa and a COOL starburst clock along with a new ceiling fan, can lights, and rug. We also had a drop from the Sunken Cypress that we made into a coffee table.
Glad this phase is done! We still have the den and exterior to do, but that has to wait about a year.
