One of those areas that was never fully completed was our kitchen dining space, so we are thrilled to finally be finishing this area now, complete with new dining chairs, refinished kitchen table and our brand new area rug from Mohawk Home!

When it comes to designing a space like this, I feel like it’s important to have high/low options mixed throughout to not only help save on your budget but also to give you a more custom look.

Welcome to Week/Update 8 of our Modern French Kitchen Renovation with the One Room Challenge where today we talk about our dreamy, apron BLANCO sink! So, it should come as no surprise that when we started planning this kitchen renovation, we went straight to BLANCO Canada and got the apron front sink! The BLANCO Canada IKON sinks are all made in Canada made of SILGRANIT which is a non-porous, high-quality granite composite which is heat, scratch and stain resistant! I find that the BLANCO IKON apron sink fits perfectly into this transitional design –
