Over the past two months, we’ve learned the hard way that a kitchen really is the heart of a home. We started a remodel early last month, and the renovation continues to chug along at a glacial pace. I’m not going to lie; it’s tough to figure out meals when you’ve got two small children and no functional kitchen! That said, the peeling linoleum floor and the dark color scheme had to go. As the kitchen starts to shape up, I’m getting really excited about getting to spend time in it.
On the top, you can see the “before” picture. We’ve moved everything around! The sink is now under the window, the stove goes where the sink was, and we’ll have a little cabinet peninsula.
In this new kitchen, I’ll get to have open shelving on the north wall. I plan to use that shelving to display my favorite cookbooks, plants, and artwork. That brings me to today’s tutorial: an eye-catching watercolor mint illustration. You can bet it will be right at home on that open shelving, framed and leaning against a clean subway tile backsplash! Today, I’ll show you how to make the illustration with both a basic tutorial and a premium tutorial.
