My
'Flashback Friday- Family Home Number 2' post explained how we sold our last house and had 60 days to renovate our new family home to a liveable state for our newborn Master H. The kitchen was one of the main priorities as it looked like this-
I loved the last modern kitchen we designed in
Family Home Number 2 with glossy white 2 pac doors, glass spashback etc.
But this time I thought I would stick with more of a traditional look. I found myself drawn to the classic look of Provincial style kitchens in magazines and A-M's gorgeous kitchen featured on her
blog 'The House that AM Built'.-
We didn't want to make any structural changes to the house until we had finalised our major renovation plans so were restricted to a small u-shaped kitchen design. Sadly, I didn't think to take any proper photos of our completed kitchen but here are some quick snaps I took with the iphone before we moved out and the house was a complete mess!
Now with our major renovation and extension, we are able to change the layout of the kitchen. I am pleased that we will be able to have more storage, an island bench and study nook. I found great inspiration on
Houzz and numerous blogs and have been busy pinning to my
kitchen board on Pinterest. Here are some of my favourite images and main inspiration-
I'm really pleased with the kitchen plan and selections that we have settled on and it's great that we are able to reuse 90% of our exisiting kitchen. I can't wait to show you!
That worked out well and should save you a bit of $ too. You can't go past a white kitchen, but in saying that I am still leaving the final colour selection open for negotiation. I gather it won't be too much longer before your kitchen is installed. xx
ReplyDeleteOnly 2 weeks and the kitchen will be installed! While we had to make a few compromises in our design to be able to reuse so much of the existing kitchen it was definitely worth the saving. I look forward to seeing your kitchen come to life!
DeleteYour last kitchen looked great and how lucky are you to design another kitchen so soon after the last. I could happily do kitchen designs all day! I love Mel from Georgica ponds kitchen so much, her recent post on marble was all the reassurance I needed that it was the right decision. Our kitchen is hamptons colours with a contemporary twist, hopefully it all comes together the way I imagined. Looking forward to your new improved kitchen with an island, how exciting! mel x
ReplyDeleteThank you. I love kitchen designs too! Oh for an unlimited budget and space! I was very excited to see your kitchen going in last week. The pendants are cute too!
