Navy and White Kitchen Decor (Final Mood Board)

Navy and White Kitchen Decor (Final Mood Board)

14 Nov

This post was most recently updated on September 23rd, 2019

Hello friends! This week, we are rounding third base on our cottage build. This means our hardwood floors are being laid, and our navy and white kitchen is being installed. With any luck, we’ll be able to move furniture in over the holidays. So exciting.

This is the point in a home build where you FINALLY get to see all the details coming together.  And, speaking of details, I shared my original mood board for this space the other day. For various reasons though, my vision this kitchen evolved a little over the past few months. I thought it would be fun to show you how it changed and why.

Here was the first mood board I created for the cottage kitchen during the summer. We are still doing navy and white kitchen cabinetry. But this first mood board is a little more light and airy than where we we ended up.  I included the sources for all the lovely things in this mood board in my last post. (See: Navy and White Cottage Kitchen Mood Board.)

In fact, these items were so lovely that I ended up using some in other rooms.  For example, those awesome oversized IKEA pendants will hang in the bunk room.  And the white washed farmhouse table (<– affiliate link)?  Well, that’s another story. When it was delivered, we liked it so much in our main house that we decided to keep it here.  We had a very small-ish dining table, so this longer one works so much better for our family.  The white-washed, farmhouse style also looks great in our recently renovated kitchen.

So where did we end up?  This next mood board in a compilation of my final decor decisions for this navy and white kitchen.  While I love a ‘light and airy’ feeling, I felt the kitchen needed a bit more warmth and richness.  So I chose some hits of black with the oiled bronze school house pendants, and some much needed texture with a rope chandelier.  The biggest difference comes from the warm tone of the reclaimed wood shelves and farmhouse table.  I’m also crazy about those navy grain sack striped chairs as they’ll coordinate so well with our navy cabinetry.

So, which navy and white kitchen mood board do you prefer?  I really love them both, but I’m really happy where we ended up.  I think the second one is a bit cozier than the airy, coastal vibe of the original.  It’s amazing how just a few changes in colour and texture can create an entirely different feeling in a space.  It’s all in the details!

I’ve been so distracted by this build that I haven’t had a lot of time to focus on my favourite thing of all time: Christmas decorating!  But now that all the cottage details have been decided on, I’m going to be sharing some fun Christmas posts.  I’ve got a sweet one coming up later in the week. Stay tuned!

Until next time,

K.

Instagram post 2195778852643198838_180915959 I have a feeling these might be the only snowmen we see this Christmas ⛄️ . We’re back to rain and high winds, after a pretty sprinkling of snow this weekend. My hopes of skating on the pond during Christmas are slowly dying.😭 Elsa, where you at? I need your magic. #frozen
Instagram post 2195310366066415524_180915959 My latest blog post is all about how to get a cozy lake house vibe in any space, and without adding too much extra decor. I’m sharing some pics of our cottage decorated for the holidays, along with my 5 best tips for cozying up your home with a rustic, cabin-y charm. I’ll link up the post in my bio, or find it on my home page at apopofpretty.com.🙌🏻 Hope your Monday is going great!
Instagram post 2195059738064742916_180915959 Just your 2-week-before-Christmas reminder to keep calm and carry on. This is the point in December when the frenzy gets real. But, my new motto is #dontgetyourtinselinatangle 🌲 It’ll all get done, it always does. And, even if it doesn’t, the world won’t come to an end. 🤛 Instead of stressing about my to do list, I’m going enjoy my kids’ excitement.
Instagram post 2194542220233603524_180915959 The older I get, the more I realize how drawn I am to things that have childhood memories attached to them. Do you find the same? This is especially true when it comes to Christmas decorating. Take this sign, for instance. Did I need another sign? No 🤣. Did I immediately #addtocart? Yes 🤣. Our childhood Christmases and winters always involved a snowy hill and wood toboggans. I have vivid memories of sledding 🛷 with my sisters as soon as it snowed. So when I saw this sign, I knew it would be a perfect addition to my Christmas decor. I buy very little in new Christmas decor these days (I have way too much) but I’ll always make room for reminders of happy memories.❤️
Instagram post 2194379926790907158_180915959 For me, nothing brings back childhood Christmas memories more than the smell of a real Christmas tree. ❤️ We don’t use a real tree these days, so I always decorate with real cedar greenery on our front porch, and in a few vases inside. Definitely doesn’t compare to that glorious smell of a real tree, but it does the trick. 🌲 Hope you’re having an awesome weekend.
Instagram post 2193670217276534265_180915959 Cheers to it being Saturday, having a first sprinkling of snow, and the beginning of Christmas festivities this evening 🙌🏻. This year’s Christmas tree is decorated with greys and creams, and it’s definitely way more neutral than our cabin tree which is filled with classic red and plaid. But, our space here is much more limited, so I like how it quietly blends into the room. This year, I used wide grey plaid and ivory velvet ribbon, and some olive green satin ribbon tied on some of the ornaments. (The olive is a little hard to see in the photo.) Other than that, the only new ornaments are some sweet modern cream ones (Carpe Diem) that I couldn’t resist. Since I took this pic, I also added some cream pom pom garlands lol. What can I say, I’m definitely not a minimalist 🤣. Honestly, I think I need somebody to tell me to Just. Stop. Decorating.🤣 Please tell me 🙏🏻.
Instagram post 2193057585968325615_180915959 Just a closer look at how I used ribbon to accent the greenery on this mantel. Adding ribbon is a great way to make a fireplace mantel look a little more formal. But simple, unadorned, classic greenery on a mantel is also one if my favourite looks. So, basically? I pretty much love everything when it comes to Christmas decorating! 🤣🙌🏻🌲
Instagram post 2193032552130763057_180915959 Right now, I am in a long line doing what I swore I’d never do: shop for Christmas decor in December 😂. On a Friday no less. And, I can see sparkles reflecting from my nose when I look down lol. Tis the season! This was my mantel from a couple of years back, and it was FILLED with greenery and ribbon. I posted an article on the blog last week about the two different ways I like to hang greenery on a mantel. This year, I hung it as s swag instead. Hoping to grab a pic to share today. Have a happy Friday!
Instagram post 2192497929072543504_180915959 This Christmas tree from a few years back is still one if my favourites. I loved the navy blue accents and the little metal pails of snowballs. This year, I decorated this same tree with creams, grey plaid ribbon, and deep olive green. I’ll post some pics soon 🌲. It’s actually pretty easy to change up your tree’s colour scheme from time to time by simply changing your ribbon, and adding just a few new decorations. Everything else stays the same. Oh, and in other news, tomorrow is Friday 🙌🏻 .
