Kitchen Design

Last week we went to Home Depot with our contractor to pick out our cabinets. 4 hours later, we had a bit of sticker shock, eyes glazed from staring at a computer but we were thrilled with the results. It's amazing how technology works these days. I just can't wait for these puppies to be delivered in a few short weeks!!

These are scans of the printout we got so the quality isn't great but you can get an idea of why we are SO excited about this transformation! Brett and I love to cook and we love to cook together so the kitchen has been a really important part of this whole process for us and one we've put a lot of thought into. We plan to be in this house for a long time so we've really loved being able to customize everything to our liking.

But first - let's not forget what we started with:

And for the "in-between" (not ready for "after" just yet). You can see we kept the basic layout of appliances the same since it really worked for the space.

Getting rid of the small peninsula and adding an island. I think my favorite part of the kitchen are the white cabinets offset by the dark island.

Or maybe my favorite part are the glass door cabinets by the window... don't they make that window look so much bigger?? 

This is the view from where the kitchen table will be. We will also have 2 barstools on the send of the island.

View of the left side of the kitchen - oven/microwave combo and gas cooktop (Brett's special request).

And the right side. To the right of the fridge is the door outside.

Next up is for us to pick out the granite and backsplash. We've decided to go with a cream/white Travertine tile for the floor. We will use the same tile in the bathrooms as well.
