When I was a teenager I used to skim through all of my grandmother’s Better Homes and Garden Magazines whenever I would come to visit her! It was through those magazines that showed me that I wanted an all white classic kitchen! It was clean, beautiful, traditional and timeless! Twenty-five years later, an all white classic kitchen is still to this day is in style! I love surrounding our house in the color white because it’s uplifting in moods and always feels fresh! When we chose to build with Drees Homes, we chose the Clarity 2 package that had all of the kitchen upgrades we wanted! I am so glad we chose to extend the kitchen cabinetry all the way up to the ceiling! It really shows how tall our ceilings are and gives it that custom look without breaking the bank! When we did the backsplash, I knew I wanted a glossy white subway tile! It’s pretty and always looks polish! Plus subway tile is inexpensive! As for the kitchen countertop, I always wanted the classic white Carrara marble but was fearful of the high maintenance factor of it! Especially since we have three young children so we chose the easy maintenance and durability of white quartz! I love the fresh clean look of it and the light gold veining that has the imitation of white marble! For flooring we chose LPV, Luxury Plank Vinyl in the color Flint Gray. I love the taupe color tone of the flooring and it really brings out all of the light grays and white in our interior finishes. At our old house, we used to have real hardwood floors and it saw a lot of scratches on it! In the morning sunlight we could see the many scratches on it! It drove me absolutely crazy! So I knew I didn’t want to do real hardwood floors this time so we went with the LPV for scratch resistant. Best design decision ever because it has held up to the mass destruction that is my wild 4 year old son! LOL! We’ve been here 2 1/2 years now and it still looks brand new! I absolutely love it!
