The Start of a Mini Kitchen Upgrade

July 22, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 21 Comments

Hi Everyone,

For Christmas last year, my Husband bought me a new refrigerator.  It’s beautiful and shiny, and I LOVE it, but the rest of the kitchen needs some overhauling.  I really need more space and a convenient work station!!!  Maybe a bigger house?  Just kidding!  Since Christmas, life has gotten pretty busy and the only new thing we have done in the kitchen is install the refrigerator.   Since times are a little tough and not to mention my Husband has found better things he would rather do with his summer than remodel a complete kitchen, I thought I would start small, for now.  I figured I would start with something that I use everyday that kind of annoys me, which is the faucet.  Our kitchen faucet, is not the best, it doesn’t turn very well, unless you use some major arm power, it makes cleaning the sink difficult, plus it’s also not too pretty to look at.   So I thought I would start my faucet journey by checking out Delta Faucet website to see what they had available for a new faucet, plus get some remodeling tips.  Maybe it will push my Husband to finish remodeling the kitchen?  After all my birthday is next month and this would be a perfect gift.  hint, hint…

The first place I went to is DELTA’s Inspired Living Page.  They have design tools to help you pick out your own personal style.  They do this by having you take a couple of  tests, which were fun to take, not like ones in school.  The first one I took, is what is your style.  They asked questions like what chair do you like and what cupcake would you take a bite of.  After I took the test, my end results were your style is Contemporary.


What is your style quiz  #DeltaFaucetInspired

I never thought of myself as contemporary, I thought I was always traditional, but the facts are right on.  I don’t like clutter and I like sparkle, texture and stainless!  That was fun!  Now lets find out my Kitchen ID.  I have to laugh the first question is “If you were going to splurge in a kitchenware store, you’d buy?”  ha ha!!  Love it, I’d buy it all!  After taking the test, the results are in, my kitchen is a workshop!  They got that right!   I am a tad obsessed with cooking, that’s an under statement.  I love to cook!   But I think everyone knows that!  🙂

My Kitchen ID Test  #DeltaFaucetInspired

Ok, two results and the tests are right!  I think I scored a 100%!  You have to take the tests to see your style and kitchen ID, then share them with me!   Ok, now that I know my style and that I love to cook, what kind of ideas can I get?  I need to see pretty pictures.
Kitchen Styles#DeltaFaucetInspired
The kitchens are gorgeous!  I want a whole new kitchen now!!  This one is my dream kitchen!!  I want this kitchen!!  I love the island with the pretty faucet in the center.  I also love the granite counter tops, the molding on the walls and the lights above the sink.  The lights would show off my new faucet.   By the way, the kitchen below is the same color as my kitchen now!  🙂

Dream Kitchen #DeltaFaucetInspired

Now that I got a pretty good idea of what I want, time to research the faucets.  Delta Faucet has some basic rules or ideas of what to do next.  They have 6 steps:

1. Your Obsession

2. Your Kitchen Style

3. Your Finish Philosophy

4. Your Budget

5. Your Countertop

6. Your Sink

Ok, I got it, now lets shop!!!  Delta has a line called Touch2O Kitchen Faucets.  This is a nice line!    Beautiful faucets!!  Time for more research, what are the Touch2O Kitchen Faucets all about?  Here are the stats:

  • A simple tap anywhere on the faucet activates the flow of water.  Awesome!!!
  • Touch2O Technology is a highly responsive, precise and reliable technology similar to that found on smart phones, tablets and other touch-activated devices.  Cool, I love technology!  Wow, all that in a faucet, I never knew!!
  • Touch2O Technology is thoughtfully designed for precise, reliable control, enabling users to activate the flow of water exactly when and where they need it.
  • The water temperature is easily controlled above the deck using the faucet handle.  I need this, my faucet is a pain to make hot and cold water.
  • Automatic shut off also helps prevent water waste.  That’s good for me and my water bill!!  It shuts off at 4 minutes of running!
  • When hands are messy, you can start the flow of water with a forearm or wrist, helping reduce the potential for cross-contamination.  Yah!  This is great when I’m cooking with raw meat and I need to turn the faucet on or off.

Ok, I’m sold, I need one of these faucets and after much research of style I found one I just LOVE!!!!  I ran and showed my Husband and he said whatever one you want dear!  Good this is what I want to get!!

Cassidy Single Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet with Touch2O® Technology  Read more

This is the Cassidy Single Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet with Touch2O® Technology.  I love the style of it!  Plus I had options of what kind of finish I want, my selections are Chrome, Arctic Stainless, Champagne Bronze and Venetian Bronze.  I’m going with the Arctic Stainless because it will match my refrigerator perfectly!!  Plus I plan on buying the rest of my appliances in the Arctic Stainless.  And to boot, the faucet received a 5 star review!   Woohoo!!  Here are just some of the stats of my future faucet:

  • Classical design combines with modern technology in the Cassidy™ Kitchen Collection
  • The Cassidy™ Collection is the obvious choice for a timeless, traditionally styled kitchen
  • High-arc pull-down swivels 360°
  • Features Euro-motion DIAMOND Valve

Since I started my research for a new faucet, I started a Inspired Living board on Pintrest.  Check it out, get some ideas and have fun with it!  Really, I recommend taking the quizzes, they really are fun!  I am really impressed on how much design ideas are on Delta Faucet’s website.  It’s a great tool for remodeling your kitchen or bathroom.

Here are some more fun facts!  Delta Faucet proudly sponsors HGTV’s 2013 Dream Home and is a sponsor for Food Networks Star!  Two shows I love to watch!  No wonder why I like Delta Faucet!

You can check out Delta Faucet and get your own ideas by visiting them at the following places:

Facebook
@deltafaucet
You Tube
Pintrest
Instagram

Now you have to tell me, did I make the right choice for the faucet?  What faucet do you like?  Check out your style and kitchen ID to see what is recommended for you.  Have some fun, you never know what you will discover!

Have a great week everyone!  I know I will because I am going to be dreaming of my new faucet!!  he he, to think I can touch it with my arm and it will turn on and off, I am so excited for that!!  You know I’ll be turning it on and off for hours because I am easily amused!  lol

Toodles,

Jennifer

    I would pretty much LOVE a whole new kitchen also! Unfortunately..that’s not going to happen. But I can ogle (and dream).

      I would love one about half the size of my house with cathedral ceilings, a big island and a walk in pantry. Sigh….

        Jennifer,
        Wow! Wouldn’t that be great! You need a big kitchen with lots of counter space for all the dishes that you make. A center island would be ideal! Big windows for ample lighting and a place for your herb’s, a wine cooler 😉 and two side-by-side stainless steal refrigerators and two built-in ovens, one preferably a convection. I also like inset lighting and lighting below the cabinetry. WTH, a built-in pizza oven and a wood burning fireplace would be nice too! I think you need a new home in Sonoma County with a view and a great patio for grilling. Don’t forget to invite your favorite Aunt for a house warming. 😀 xo

    I am mildly obsessed with looking at pictures of dream kitchens on Pinterest. OK, not so mildly! 🙂 Right now my kitchen is literally a converted hallway closet, so I’ve got a long way to go, haha!

      lol Marie! I love looking at pictures too in magazines, on Pintrest, everywhere! When we were looking to buy a house, I became obsessed with HGTV! That network is dangerous! It gives me to many bad ideas! lol

    I took the tests and came out the same as you. We did remodel our kitchen several years ago. The main thing was new cabinets and countertops and flooring. We love our new cabinets and the quartz countertop, and slightly expanded cabinet and counter space. Unfortunately we had a severe freeze about two weeks after the remodel was finished, which resulted in frozen pipes and a ruined floor (which we still need to replace). Unfortunately, our choice of faucets is limited by the fact that we have a portable dishwasher that needs to be hooked up to the kitchen faucet. I can tell you that if you can get the cabinets, countertop and layout that you want, you will be very happy. This last kitchen remodel was my second full one, and I was really happy with both of them. Just make sure that if you have a contractor do it to choose the contractor very carefully. 🙂

      We are slowly making our way to cabinets. My Husband likes to build them, but it’s so much work, we have one built. lol I’ll post a picture in a couple of weeks, when my kitchen is a little more tidy. That is crappy about your pipes freezing. I remember that happening to us when I lived in NY. Just crap when you put down a new flooring. About 5 years ago we put in new flooring in the kitchen and the refrigerator leaked in the back and now we need new floors in at least that part of the kitchen. Good excuse to get new floors throughout the kitchen. 🙂

    Hi Jen ~

    I had fun doing the test and it turns out that my style is Traditional.

    I hope you have lots of fun remodeling your kitchen, at least you have your very own to remodel! If & when you do, please post all of your updates for us so that we can kind of take part in it with you.

    Take Care & good luck!

    Love always,

Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little o Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little outdoor space with our lounge chairs. Truthfully I wanted to get rid of the lounge chairs as they take up so much room and we never lay on the chaises. However, over the winter my husband made new cushions for the them and I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them. He made the cushions for our dog Samantha who passed away this winter. She loved laying on the lounge chairs. The boys don’t like to sit on them, unless you are on them too. 
☀️
I do like the color combination of this space. It’s relaxing and I just love the Gerbera flowers. I wish I could keep the pillows on them, but my little Sully 🐶loves to tear apart pillows. So the pillows are living in my living room. I’ll bring them back outside if we have guests. 
☀️
Have a wonderful day!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share. 
💙
I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!
