French Inspired Kitchen Makeover, French Stone Sink, Carrara Marble Counters and Subway Tile, Lacanche Range, Oak Herringbone Floor

We kept the same layout of the old kitchen.

The shelves are all Carrara Marble. Thad made the brackets using 2x4 scraps.

The countertops and the subway tile are all honed Carrara Marble.

The built in was a fun project. We still need to add the trim around the base of it.

I shared a before image of it in my previous post. I tiled the inside of it with the Carrara Marble Subway tile. The shelves are also Carrara Marble.

The island is a butcher block table I found in France.

For the floors we bought our black oak raw boards from a local family owned saw mill.

We treated it with the woca white lye which helped draw out those pink pigments. The bottom image on the left, you can see the floor on the left side of that image is lightened with the white lye and the area my feet are on hasn't been lightened yet. I will share more images and more about the finishing process in the near future.

These French doors were once used as our headboard.

I will be back with more images of our kitchen makeover.
