Kitchen design plans...

I am working with a fabulous kitchen designer at ProSource.  Kitchen remodels can be very costly, but we knew there were a few things we could do to keep within our budget:

• keeping the existing appliance layout
• not expanding the kitchen floor plan or removing walls
• purchasing cabinets that are ready made and not custom

Here is what our designer came up with based on my initial drawings:

Let's start with the fridge wall.  We will not have a freezer, but simply a commercial fridge only unit...

This is the sink/dishwasher wall.  The open shelving will hold our plates, bowls and cups.  Simplifying to what we really need/use...

This is the stove wall.  We are going to use a drop in unit and a decorative range hood for a bit of interest...

This is probably my favourite feature in the entire room- the wall pantry.  It is only 6 inches deep.  This is going to open up the blueprint of the room quite a bit...

tiny door to the tiny kitchen ;)

The cabinets are a plain shaker style in a pretty Dover white, the countertops are honed Carrara marble, and the pulls are going to a combination of styles in brass or pewter.    The wall along the stove will be subway tile, and the wall above the sink will be wood planked and painted the colour of the room- White Duck by Sherwin Williams.  The faucet will be a bridge faucet in satin nickel.   Simple, clean lines and white space.

That's the plan anyway ;)
