Morgan's kitchen renovation transformed a dated space into a functional and inviting area suited for entertaining. The design, guided by contractor Nick Caraguilo, incorporated her love for pottery and old-world aesthetics inspired by a Tugboat from the 1930s. With solid wood features and DIY elements, the kitchen showcases character and personal touches. An emphasis on practical storage and display led to unique solutions like a custom tile backsplash, made by Morgan to match her vision, blending creativity with everyday functionality.

"I decided to make the backsplash when my husband and I couldn't agree on anything commercially available. I would have purchased something more simple or textural..."
