Today I wanted to talk about one of my favorite things…sourdough bread! With so many people stuck at home right now, anxiously wishing this pandemic away, I thought sourdough might be just the thing. Not only is the bread delicious and nutritious, but the process of making it is calming and joyous and full of that everyday magic we could all use a little of right now. Bread made at my house might taste different from bread made down the street because we all have different bacteria and naturally-occurring yeast in our homes and on our hands. And I find that so cool! Other wonderful things about sourdough: watching it rise. Like how does it do that without any added yeast?! It feels like magic every. The crackle of the cooling bread when it comes out of the oven.

Today I have a long post for you, chalked full of photos and sources and all the details on this white, country kitchen. I was pretty sure this kitchen remodel took us about 2 years, but it turns out that it was only 6 months. Of course six months filled with bbq pancakes and bbq pizzas and dishes in the bathroom sink with 3 kids at home is bound to feel lonnnng. But it was worth it! We decided to reuse the existing cabinets since they were in good shape and gave them new life with paint, unlacquered brass hardware , and a little bit of love. This whole remodel was spurred on by 3 major issues we had with the previous space. First we wanted to improve the layout, which basically meant removing the angled island ugh, ugh, ugh angled island. Second, we wanted to make this space feel more cohesive with the rest of our home design-wise. And lastly, we wanted to brighten it up in here with windows, paint choices, and lighting.
