| If you have been following along you know we decided to take down a portion of this wall to let more natural light into the kitchen. |
 |
| Then we found this unexpected pole inside the wall. Now we had a problem because this pole was cemented into the ceiling and floor and was not coming out. We decided to make a column out of the pole to hide it's ugliness. I needed that cabinet for storage so we decided to make an island out of it. |
 |
| Then we found this vintage door with the cute door ringer on our Michigan trip. The minute I saw it I thought it would look great on the island and opening to the kitchen. |
 |
| Yep it sure did. Gave a focal point to the wall and still kept the opening to let light into the kitchen. Again I have to apologize for my pics. I am getting the new Iphone 12 pro max soon and I hear it takes fabulous pics. |
 |
| This is what it looks like from the kitchen looking out. |
 |
| My design assistant agrees. Hope you all are having a great start to the new week. Hugs, Kris |

ReplyDeleteWOW, what a clever and beautiful idea. I love it.
ReplyDeleteWow! This looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWwOoWw! This is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteDidn't see a door there coming. Looks good. Your husband works fast. The best thing you ever did was take down that wall. Your assistant is so cute.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Now it's...'What Pole'? Good Job!
ReplyDeleteGosh Kris! You really have excelled yourself this time. It looks amazing and I have no doubt that you must be so pleased with how it has all turned out. As always it is important to get the approval of your design assistant, and I just love how well he tones in with the decor. He is truly gorgeous. Hugs, Gilly xx
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that is beautiful!! So unique!!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Kris! YOU made it work! WOW. You have the best eye!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! I would have never come up with that idea! That's really fantastic, Kris. It frames it out perfectly and has all the vintage charm you could ask for! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Hugs, Cecilia
How beautiful ! Would love a walking tour of your new place. It looks so spacious.
ReplyDeleteThat adorable door looks like it belongs there! You and Terry need to set up a business of adding adorableness to homes. No more cookie cutter homes! I see the design assistant in his office...ha! xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt looks great Kris! I just refinished an old door to be able to add to our staircase in our old farmhouse. You made me excited it may turn out.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely beyond creative!! You two are amazing!!
ReplyDeleteYou do have an incredible eye. This is amazing. So much character to this space.
ReplyDeleteYour design assistance approves and is quite handsome.
Hugs

And just like that, the magic wand is waved and a diy miracle happens once again. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteWow, I've never seen anything like that! You have quite the imagination for these things, Kris!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Wow, Wow, Wow, what an amazing idea. When you guys discovered that ugly pole I knew you'd end up doing something spectacular and you sure did. We have a weird wall between our kitchen and living room that might be getting a makeover now, hmmmm. :-)
ReplyDeleteWOW... another great idea. I love it!
ReplyDeletePlease give your sweet assistant a pat and treat from me. :-)
OMG I love it. Never dreamed that was how you would use it. great idea..you are so creative.
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness, Kris, you've completely outdone yourself with this project. What an adorable idea, and yet it still allows light into your kitchen. You are so creative: I wish we lived closer together and you could help me out around here!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a totally different look Kris. I like how creative you are and the door and opening looks so nice. I like how you decorated it with the swag and the bottles. I hope you two are happy with the way the kitchen looks.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and creative.
ReplyDeleteWow! That looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteMorning Kris,
ReplyDeleteI had a feeling that's where it was going.......It looks fabulous and I just love it.
So creative and so YOU..........Love it in white and love how you adorned it.
Such a clever idea.
Have a great day.
Blessings, Nellie
that is right up my alley...great job
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea. You two make a great team. I love the white and raw wood combinations. I have all the white, just need to figure out the raw wood.
ReplyDeleteThe vintage door couldn't be more perfect in that spot. Very clever!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I absolutely love this! You have knocked it out of the ball park once again. Kudos on a job well done. xo Kathleen
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, Kris! This is A-MAZ-ING! No wonder your Design Assistant is smiling. He knows genius when he sees it. I love it! xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea! Love the look, great solution!!!! Have a great day Kris xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI agree with your assistant. I love it. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Love how it turned out.
ReplyDeleteThat is the most unusual use of a door I have ever seen! Ingenious! Brava, Kris!
ReplyDeleteYou have great vision! And then Terry makes it happen. What a team! I bet the previous owner of your condo wouldn't believe the "after" of how you've redone the place! Too bad she can't see it.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to borrow some of your creative brain cells! I would never have thought of that, but it looks so natural next to the pole that you transformed. WOW!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic use of that door. We ended up building a drywall column (basically) around our support post. there was no way to remove it. BUT- I LOVE your solution. Looks like it was always there. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteHi Kris! Oh, my goodness! The door looks so beautiful! You really have an eye for creating! Thank you so much for popping in to see me.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Kris, what a great idea and the door hugs onto that pole and you would never know it was there. You are a visionary my sweet friend..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspired solution! Of course you love it. Me too!
ReplyDeleteI agree with your other friends .this is decor magic..I know yall will be so cozy this Fall and Winter in your new home..love it all..thanks for the eye candy!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kris! I'm still loving that door and thank you again for visiting me. Hope your week is off to a good start.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
What a cute idea! You are so good at creating these solutions!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ! Very good idea.
ReplyDeleteProbably one of my most favorite, Re Love's you've done. I could sure use a whole lotta re-love here in Minnesota. My house is still partly stuck in the 60's... and not the best part of that Era! Keep up the inspiration, some us of live through your vision... but lack a Terry to make it a reality! Good day, my friend!
ReplyDeleteKris,
ReplyDeleteOMG!! this was absolutely genius!! I am in love with this idea!! Thanks so much for the inspiration!!
Hugs,
Deb
