Basement Kitchen Renovation

After 6-ish LONG months, our basement project is finished! My sister and BIL are going to be living with us for the next 4 years, so we had big plans for our unfinished basement for them.

We decided on a full function kitchen for them, and so when we sell down the road we can claim a true second kitchen/”MIL quarters”. We also decided on one bedroom with a big closet, and full bathroom, and a large living room.

I am excited to share the kitchen with you today! It was definitely a labor of love and it was exciting to see it finally get all put together. I had a specific idea of the finishes that I wanted, and I have to say it turned out perfectly!

Gift Ideas with Nystrom Goods

Hey guys! If you are like me, you tend to put your Christmas shopping off until December hits. I don’t know what it is, but I hate hoarding gifts! Anyways, the past few years I have made it a point to try and shop small, and support local businesses for at least some of the gifts that I give. This year I stumbled on Nystrom Goods IG page, and instantly fell in love! They create unique, modern, concrete planters that just add the perfect touch to every home.

   

Here are 2 that I received. I love them and love the little touch they add to my kitchen! They are very sturdy and well made, that is apparent as soon as you open your package. I found the perfect sized pre-planted little succulents from Lowes and just dropped them right in!

Here are a few of my other faves from their site:

 Love this larger planter.

 Love this small, textured one.

 And I love this set of 3, which is perfect for a gift!

I also wanted to point out that I have finally started replacing light fixtures in our home, YAY! I still need to find the perfect backsplash.

Anyways, I hope you guys check out Nystrom Goods, and that I have introduced you to a small shop to enjoy! Be sure to follow them on IG over at @nystromgoods also, for more planter pictures as well as design ideas.

xo,

Robyn
