Cedar Hill Ranch.

So here’s what we came up with!.I use it everyday for laundry, but also as an extra prep space for putting plates of food on once they’re prepared, or to lay things out when I’m packing us up for a weekend away.

It really has made a big difference in the whole kitchen!I love that it can easily hold about three big loads of folded laundry, so if I don’t get time to put it away over the weekend, it still has a place to live and be tidy and out of the way..I also love that it was super cheap to make!

We used the most basic lumber supplies but ended up with something that looks really cute and custom!.For the top itself, we just used one long piece of pine shelving and trimmed it out with some 2×2 pine pieces to make it look chunkier.

The shelving that we got (I think these are also sometimes called “project boards”) was about 16″ wide and we just measured it to run the length of the room.

You can get these boards in all different shapes and sizes and they’re made up of long strips glued together so you get that authentic “butcher block” look!I absolutely love this color too, but it’s way too dark for our house so I want to add a little bit of Zeppelin action to that hall as well at some point.).

That’s Zeppelin again on the walls, and the slightly deeper color on the cabinets is a KraftMaid Cabinetry color called Greyloft..In Kennedy’s Room!.

The blue that I used for all of the blue painted accents in this room and the blue wall as well is another CIL color called Sky High Blue..I have to admit that I’m not really a big turquoise fan, but this particular shade is the perfect mix of sky blue and turquoise and I love how fresh and clean it feels.. Before I discovered Zeppelin, I tried a few other neutral colors around the house.
