In the summer of 2019, my husband Jason and I embarked on a journey to transform a neglected 1920s bungalow into a space that embodies our values and aspirations. Despite initial doubts, we saw potential in the home's abundant natural light and spacious layout.
Drawing inspiration from Ingrid Fetell Lee's Joyful, we identified three key elements—energy, freedom, and harmony—to guide our design choices. These principles helped us create a kitchen that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also emotionally uplifting.
Our renovation journey was fraught with obstacles, including a contractor's abrupt departure, supply chain disruptions, and a global pandemic. Yet, we persevered, adapting to each setback and staying true to our vision.
The final outcome is a kitchen that reflects our minimalist ethos—clean lines, functional design, and a sense of calm. It's a space that fosters connection, creativity, and joy.
Being featured in The Kitchn is an honor that underscores the importance of thoughtful design and the impact it can have on our daily lives. We hope our story inspires others to pursue their renovation dreams with purpose and passion.
