Kitchen Details

On our last trip home we finalized all of the details of the house, most importantly the kitchen details! This included the cabinet style, finish, and color, countertops, and finalized the layout.
We decided to go back to the original wood floors in the kitchen and didn't want the room to feel like a cabin so we opted for white cabinets.

We thought we had decided on the countertops but when we were told we could get granite at half the price of the man made material we picked out, we quickly changed our minds. Absolute black was the granite color we decided on.

These drawings were based off the plans we talked about in this post and is almost exactly the same.

These are the cabinet plans the three upper ones on the left will be glass and the two tall ones are our pantries that will be on either side of a window seat.

Above the sink will be a breakfast bar.

Now all we need to decide on is the cabinet pulls and pendant lights.

Kitchen Layout

I am by no means an architect (heck, I can't even draw a straight line) so this drawing is not exactly to scale  but it shows what we think we want to do with the layout of the kitchen. Right now the kitchen is a large blank canvas which sounds fantastic but we've been pretty stumped on what to do. Now that we have the layout down we need to have someone come out to the house and tell us how much its going to cost. The next thing on the kitchen checklist is the color scheme and materials that we will be using.  We are now on the hunt for flooring and counter top options. We are definitely open to suggestions if you have any!
