Good Morning Lacquered Lifers! As promised last week, another project from Tara Mangini & Percy Bright, the duo at Jersey Ice Cream Co. The two began remodeling spaces a few years ago, and their process involves them moving into a space while they renovate it.  While I will not move into your house, (I give these two a lot of credit for that!) I always recommend to clients that they experience a space before they dive into a renovation. Renovating can be a game of inches, and it really helps when you know you and your family use a space.

Below is Beth Kirby’s Chattanooga, TN kitchen. Named Saveur’s Best Food Photography Blogger, the original kitchen did not provide Kirby with the type of inspirational space she needed for her photography. With a few coats of paint and plaster, some new appliances, and an extremely chic antique French faucet found on Ebay, the duo at Jersey Ice Cream Co. transformed this space into something that looks good enough to eat.
