I know white kitchens seem to be in style. As much as I love the look, we chose hickory cabinets to try to keep with the style of our old house. They have pegs in the corners which I swooned over.
You can read about our kitchen remodel and progress that we did all by ourselves here and here.
We chose stainless appliances for a modern feel.
In order to use the space behind the door, we created a counter for my Keurig and toaster.
Although we originally thought about a pantry, I love that it frees up our counter space.
In our old kitchen, I only had one small counter area. We actually used our stovetop often to cut vegetables! I don't miss that at all.
I couldn't get a good picture (due to the lack of lighting), but we have 7 stools total. Three are behind the counter above and four on the other counter. I love that we can all eat in the kitchen even with guests. I also love that the girls have can kneel on the stools to help bake!
We have plenty of room for cooking, eating, homework, and family time!
And that's a wrap! Coming soon: I'll show you some of my favorite features!
Hi Dani! I LOVE this pretty paint color. It perfectly complements your cabinetry. Cute breakfast bar too. You have to be thrilled with your new space.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I really like the color too! The new space is amazing especially when you compare it to what we had to work with for a few years! Thanks so much for your comment! It means so much to me!!
DeleteI would love to have a space for the coffee pot- a littl station- elsewhere to free up my counters!!
ReplyDeleteI have really enjoyed the space. Thanks for stopping by!
Deletewhat a great kitchen! love the bar stool area, and the coffee pot area. i'm trying to do something like that to ours when we remodel, to clear up another space.

DeleteYour kitchen looks very lovely. I chose white cabinetry for a kitchen redo in our previous house, but not in our current home. I think you have to do what you really want to do. I really like the hickory cabinets with your wall color. We had a very similar color in our previous house and loved it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comment Carol! I love white kitchens, but you have to have the right home for it! My mom helped me pick out the color for the walls and I'm so glad we went with it! It seems to give the kitchen a warm feeling.
Deletexo, dani
PS I love your new door!
