Jobsite Check-In 🔨
Every remodel has big milestones—and we’ve just reached one at this charming farmhouse 🐓🐣! The kitchen, bath, and laundry are officially ready for their countertop template.

While the countertops are being fabricated, there’s still plenty happening on site: tile is going in for the bath and laundry, and—one of the most exciting steps—uncovering and refinishing the original hardwood floors that have been hidden away for years. We can’t wait to see this space come together!

Why do we love soapstone? Let us count the ways. 🖤
It’s soft to the touch, naturally strong, and beautifully unique—making it one of our favorite surfaces to work with. In this kitchen, it takes center stage on the rounded island, which features curved cabinetry in cerused white oak for a true furniture-style look.

Designed by Holly Marie Peterson, CKBD, for Lifestyle Kitchen Studio, this kitchen layers three different countertop materials. Each was chosen with intention—and knowing your materials matters. Every surface performs differently and has its own personality.

✨ Top 3 reasons we love soapstone in kitchens:

Naturally heat- and acid-resistant – ideal for serious cooking.
Low-maintenance and non-porous – no sealing needed.
Aging beautifully – develops a rich patina over time.
This colorful, layered space is one of our boldest kitchens yet—and a reminder that great design is as much about the materials as the layout.

A little throwback—and a big congratulations to Sarah and Cory! 💛

We loved working with these two newlyweds to reimagine their small kitchen into a bright, open chef’s space that flows beautifully with the rest of their character-filled home. With thoughtful layout, function and storage, the new space added to the home’s original charm.

Now they're making room for an even sweeter chapter, and we couldn’t be more excited for their growing family!

As we delve into the design of our clients’ first floor, it’s so fun to take a walk down memory lane to visit their second floor finishes we worked on several years ago.
