Kitchen Plans! | BREPURPOSED

Ah I’m SO dang excited to share our kitchen plans with you at present! Seeing these drawings makes every little thing come to life and I can’t wait to get began on this renovation. It’s occurring means ahead of I had deliberate so that you’re not going to have to attend lengthy for all of the motion to start out. Let’s dive in!

This kitchen from Ashley Montgomery designs stopped me in my scroll the second I first laid eyes on it. That is the general vibe and really feel I need for our kitchen. Heat, inviting, cozy and complex all on the similar time.

OUR CURRENT KITCHEN

First let me stroll you thru our present kitchen. 5 years in the past, I gave it a beauty replace by doing issues like portray the cupboards and backsplash and including new {hardware} and lighting. These modifications made such an enormous distinction and made me actually admire our kitchen extra till we have been prepared for an even bigger replace. I’d have beloved gutting our kitchen 5 years in the past, but it surely wasn’t in our price range and I feel it was a blessing to attend as a result of I really feel like I’ve had 5 years to actually hone in on my model and determine what I need.

There isn’t a lot we’re altering concerning the structure – we aren’t pulling down any partitions or something main like that. The form and positioning of the island will change and we’re simply relocating issues to make the area work higher for us. 

We met with a number of totally different folks and determined to work with Ben Haug who owns Springfield Woodworks. One in every of my instagram followers beneficial him and after our first assembly I had a intestine feeling he can be our man. He’s been tremendous element oriented all through the entire course of and I really feel like he actually understands my imaginative and prescient. He works for himself and comes from a protracted line of cupboard makers in his household – and he’s going to let me come watch him construct all of it – which implies you get to see all of the behind the scenes too!

NEW KITCHEN PLANS

Let’s begin with the fridge wall. We may have two tall pantry cupboards on both aspect of our built-in fridge, so it can seem like one giant panel of cabinetry. The underside half of the pantry cupboards may have pull out drawers for all of the snacks and such and the highest part may have stationary shelving.

What I’m most enthusiastic about over right here is the center part on these cupboards. They’ll carry open on hydraulic hinges to entry our microwave on one aspect, and small home equipment/espresso maker on the opposite. Can I get an AMEN for hiding all that not so fairly stuff?!

Shifting over to the vary wall. This can be centered with drawer storage on both aspect. Our counter tops will prolong up for a full peak backsplash after which prolong out with a 4″ shelf. I plan to tile above the shelf to the ceiling and may have two sconces on both aspect of the hood.

The hood is only a placeholder for now – that is one thing we determined to deal with on our personal to economize so we have to provide you with a finalized design. However I’m fairly positive it’s going to be in the identical roman clay end as our fire on the opposite aspect of the room.

The sink is shifting in entrance of the window and we’re squaring off that awkward angle that’s presently there. 

I’m nonetheless up within the air about having the total peak backsplash and cabinets on this wall. Tiny cabinets normally trouble me however I do like how it might be a constant design factor carried over from the opposite wall. If we don’t do the identical factor, we may tile the entire wall or do a shorter backsplash. I feel due to the counter cupboard separating the 2 partitions, we may get away with doing one thing totally different, so we’ll see!

And talking of the countertop cupboard – after I had my name with Whittney Parkinson on the Knowledgeable this was her thought! I discussed wanting perhaps a singular cupboard right here however she got here up with the thought of a nook cupboard which feels somewhat extra in-built and intentional. The fronts can be reeded glass they usually’ll have uncovered brass {hardware} – ah I can’t wait! Will probably be good to have this additional storage right here since we don’t have any uppers.

Now for the ISLAND. I knew I wished one thing distinctive and totally different and I knew I wished so as to add some curves someplace in right here. I stored seeing a number of oval and curved islands on pinterest and was so drawn to them and couldn’t get them out of my head! So we’re making it occur. The island will maintain two deep drawers for pots and pans and dinnerware, the built-in dishwasher can be within the center and the pull out trash can be on the left.

The rounded a part of the island will  have storage as effectively and have hid doorways that push open. The element on the surface goes to be fluted. It’s all concerning the particulars and I’m BEYOND enthusiastic about this. I used to be impressed by this picture on pinterest:

It’s going to be SO GOOD. And between the 2 panels the place the bar stools will go, I’m including a brass foot rail. Eek!

THE FINISHES

These drawings don’t precisely depict all of the finishes so let me present you my temper boards! I’m positive you’re not stunned that it’s very earthy and impartial 😉 There’s nothing mistaken with white kitchens, they’re basic! However after residing with one, I do know it’s simply not me.

Let’s discuss the primary cabinetry – they’re going to be stained wooden in my favourite darkish walnut tone. I used to be torn on the design of those for some time, going forwards and backwards between a typical shaker model, or one thing somewhat extra fashionable after which I used to be watching Jean Stoffer’s instagram tales at some point and noticed this:

Aren’t they lovely?! I really like that they nonetheless have a contemporary flare however may truthfully pair with any model. The angled edge is what stole my coronary heart! They’ll all be inset, similar to these images however can be a darker stain and we’ll have totally different {hardware}.

Under the shelf I wish to connect a brass hanging rail for little trinkets and issues. And I’m nonetheless torn on the tile. You recognize I really like inexperienced and I’d like to try to discover a refined muted inexperienced tile I may use right here however I’m struggling. I’ll go together with one thing extra impartial within the beige/off white household. A number of determination making I’ll share on instagram with you!

The lights are additionally simply place holders for now, I’ve saved a bajillion totally different sconces however I can’t make up my thoughts :-p

I must go take a look at some counter tops asap however I’m leaning in direction of one thing with a lighter base and a few heavy veining. Want me luck!

Over to the sink wall – like I stated, I’m not 100% positive but if we are going to carry the backsplash up the identical peak as the opposite aspect, or perhaps do one thing like this and simply tile the entire wall. I’m actually torn and hold agonizing over what to do!

Now for the pièce de ré·sis·tance! My fast little mock up doesn’t do it justice at ALL. haha however this provides you an thought of my imaginative and prescient for it. Fundamental portion can be painted a mushroomy colour however I wish to hold the again panel stained to match the opposite wooden. I wish to add some type of refined design factor right here (some moulding or paneling) however haven’t determined what!

I’ve no clue on bar stools but however that lovely brass foot rail already has my coronary heart leaping! I must look into the place to buy that or DIY it in some way but it surely’s a element I’m so enthusiastic about!

Right here’s a number of extra inspiration photos that I’ve saved on Pinterest:
