Now, this was our favorite home of the season! Yes, we say that about many homes, but for this one, we really mean it! Michelle bought the house a little while back with the best intentions to fix it up for her to live in, but soon realized that she wanted to live closer to town and with a fresh start!
Location and Inspiration-
Location and inspiration for this home go hand in hand! The house is located outside Snohomish in a pretty secluded area surrounded by these beautiful tall evergreen trees. Upon pulling up to the property, I got cozy cabin vibes right away and saw the exposed rock and the vintage wallpaper in the kitchen. I knew that this home needed to be a mid-century modern cabin! Another new style for this season!
Key Updates-
Kitchen:
The old kitchen layout was inefficient for the amount of floor space it took up, and it was very outdated. We combated this by getting rid of the old hood vent and peninsula and adding an oversized island! We went with lower blue cabinets to add a pop of color and kept the uppers white. I have said it once, and I will say it again, all-white kitchens are coming out of style! If you want to add a little bit of color but are not ready to commit to the entire thing, having lower cabinets in one color is a great option! We finished the kitchen off with white quartz countertops and a cement-style backsplash to keep with the earthy feel of the home.
Upstairs Bathroom:
While the bathroom as it stood was usable, it was not exactly functional, and because it was the only bathroom upstairs, we needed to make sure that it was as valuable as possible! We added a double vanity, reconfigured the bath into a custom bath and shower with luxury tile, and added a mini hex mosaic to the flooring. The mini hex tile gave the feel of mid-century modern!
Paint:
There were many more improvements made to the home, but I think one of the most significant differences was painting the wood siding! I knew that this would get mixed opinions from people, but after we finished, I could not be happier with the choice! By painting the wood, it brightened up the space significantly while still letting the texture of the wood show through! For this home, we painted all the walls with Sherwin Williams Origami White, a favorite of ours!
