I blogged about one side of our newly-painted green/gray/blue kitchen island last week…
…and I’m back today with a few shots of how she looks now- all topped in Caesarstone’s Frosty Carrina!
I love how it picks up on the old paint on the corbels…which we are not painting, by the way. (A few folks asked about that last week.) I’m cuckoo for stripped wood…especially when it’s paired with white countertops and painted cabinets. There’s something about that combo that just makes my heart sing! 🙂
I also love how thick the new countertop is, and how cool it feels to the touch.
The subtle gray veining gives it just the right amount of visual interest…
…and, of course, I am pretty pumped about how durable and “farmhouse fresh” it looks, too! 🙂
All that’s left to do is tile the area behind the faucet with our leftover sunflower tile…
(and attach a couple more rolling pin drawer pulls- oops!)
After that, it’ll be time to decorate!
And bird watch, if you’re Kit-Cat. 😉
PS- For kitchen pics (and adoption updates!) between posts, join me over on Instagram! 🙂
I’m liking your new counter top…….. and I love that you have a rug on your kitchen floor. I always get excited for you when you post a new project Layla!
I’m glad that you’re not painting the corbels. What a beautiful difference the new countertop makes! Looking forward to seeing the gorgeous backsplash tiles in place.
LOVE it! I am so excited to see that backsplash up. I think it will be the perfect touch!
Love it! I love that the corbels are “naked”. Can we get a closer picture of the backsplash behind the sink?
Oooooh! I just love this! I love the lighter countertop and the blue… can’t wait to see it with the backsplash!!!
I just LOVE it! But I knew I would . . . You guys rock! Can we purchase anymore t-shirts Layla? Wear mine all the time . . . 🙂
L <3 V E this!! Where did you purchase the corbels?
Layla,
It looks fantastic! Kudos!
wow it looks beautiful! I really love the paint color you chose, too. The corbels look gorgeous in their stripped wood state. I wouldn’t paint them either!
Love it!! What an beautiful update from the (yucky) old style. PS, don’t you just love how cats have to plant themselves on anything new in the house? Better watch out when sweet-pea arrives, lol.
Absolutely perfect! Your kitchen looks so much bigger and brighter now with the new counters and paint!
What a difference!! A fresh breath of air.
I think a lot of people who are interested in marble countertops will pop over here to see how pretty the “Frosty” looks. I have Danby marble and love it but it is not for everyone and this is a perfect switch up. I wonder what the cost differential is?
That backsplash is sooo cool! and fits so perfectly with everything else!
Layla, Love the look of the kitchen. It is really coming together.
Looks great– that backsplash makes me swoon!
May I ask where you got your hanging “mail bin” that you have on the wall?
I love the kitchen….so pretty….
This kitchen sings! Love, love, love the color of the island!
Love the corbels too. Not sue why the combination affects me in such positive way but it does. So, I guess it has to do more with an emotion than design choice for me. Something draws me to it. One question. Just how thick is the new Caesarstone counter? I love it! Also, is that 2 corbels on each side modified with plywood in between?
this makes me want to cook in your kitchen…and i don’t really cook so this is saying something!
i have your before and have loved it for a few years – now i see your after i want that… so bright clean and crisp. paint colors on your island… i’ll take a search… so beautiful Layla… love it all!!!
It looks awesome Layla – so pretty 🙂 And love the corbels too!
I love the countertops…and Kit Cat. 🙂
Where did you get the mail organizer hanging on the wall? I love it!
Hi Sarah!
Thank you! We got it at HomeGoods a couple of years ago. 🙂
Your kitchen is absolutely beautiful!!!
Did I doze off + miss the rolling pin pulls? — because that sounds pretty neat!
Here’s a link to my post about them last week, Kay! 🙂

I have the same countertop, with subway tile backsplash, and I think the paint you chose for your walls might be just the compliment I’m looking for 🙂
Can you share what color and brand the paint is?
Thank you!
Just beautiful! I love those bar stools/chairs! Where’d you find those?
We got those at World Market a couple years ago, Ann! 🙂 (One was a housewarming gift from our BFF/neighbors!)
I love how it is all coming together!! May I ask where your got your dining room light fixture?
Love it SO much!
Would you share the paint color of your cabinets and your walls? I just ordered the same countertop and it will be installed next month. Super excited and it was great to see your and love it!
I believe the floors should have been handscraped for more effect…maybe the next kitchen. I had that put in my house and what a difference!!! Only a suggestion 🙂 Love the colors, countertop and specially the corbels.
Oh, the floors were here when we moved in, Silvia! I haven’t gotten my hands on them yet- LOL! Is love to replace them with reclaimed hardwood at some point on down the line. 🙂
So fresh and clean. Every girl who spent tons of money on shiny veined granite is groaning right about now.
Can’t wait to see pics with your little guy in it, messing it all up, but filling it with love.
Beautiful!
Your kitchen is so beautiful! I love everything you 2 have done. The corbels are stunning! Where did you get the tile, it is so pretty, and the rolling pin drawer pulls, they sound adorable!
Layla, we are remodeling our kitchen and are planning an island design very similar to yours. I’m curious of the dimensions of your island? I absolutely love it! We may have to borrow the color too. 🙂 Thank you!
Beautiful kitchen and colors!! Could you please tell me the name of your wall color and trim color? I love them!
Love the new countertops, a breath of fresh air from granite!
What color is on thewalls?
LOVELY, beautiful, awesome!!!!!!!! I can see how it makes your heart sing. It is just lovely Layla. Can’t wait to see the final FINAL, draw pulls, decorated and all!!!
This is exactly my style! Your kitchen is absolutely gorgeous. You’re a very talented lady!
Oh my, absolutely beautiful! This my inspiration kitchen for whenever I have the funds for a makeover.
What a difference a day ( or two 🙂 ) makes. Kit Cat approves of the cool.
Love the stripped wood corbels! Love the countertop and color scheme! Love it all. When I see pics of rooms that other designers have worked on, I find myself thinking, “What would Layla have done?” Your style is my absolute favorite! Always.
Layla – the photos don’t show much veining like carrara marble is.. i know it’s supposed to be comparable minus the work of marble… but i don’t see it.. could you take more photos showing the veining.. pls pls.. thanks as always… love what you do… <3
Hi Patty!
Since the veining is so faint on this kind of countertop (which I LOVE! :-)) that’s about the best I could do as far as photographing them. (Sorry!) Frosty Carrina is definitely comparable to carrara in that it’s white with gray veining, but I wouldn’t consider it a “match”. It’s a different vibe- but it’s exactly what I had in mind for our kitchen. 🙂
love it – all of it.. the colors are just so soothing… thanks for your reply about the counters… it is just beautiful! can’t wait to see more… xo
I think that I’m in love with your kitchen island. 🙂 I love the colors, the countertops, every single thing about it. Also, your cat is absolutely adorbs!
Sooo pretty!! Just in love with the rug, where did you get it??
Thank you! It came from Pottery Barn a few years ago! 🙂
I love this! Love the blue so much and the tile!!!! and I love the table and chairs. – the small glimpse I can see. So exciting!!!
