Kitchen Design is Done!

The kitchen design took a lot longer than we originally anticipated, but was worth all the time we spent.  It's going to be fabulous!

Seal Harbor Cabinets
 To get the contemporary cottage style we're looking for, we had to switch out cabinet lines and layout numerous times, for just the right look.  After multiple designs, we were able to achieve all our objectives, including:
-  a peninsula with seating
-  a wall hutch with glass doors & display space
-  ample counter space for multiple cooks
-  more light with bigger windows over the sink


We're going to use Martha Stewart's kitchen cabinets again in this house.  They looked great in our last kitchen (First Project Kitchen Pics) and the Purestyle finish looks like a painted finish - with a much more durable surface.  Best of all, they were having a big sale, so we were able to go with the upgraded Seal Harbor cabinets, for the same price as the cheaper styles! And as usual, Donna at Home Depot was a huge help as we worked through the details.

Here are some of the computer renderings of the design.  It will be much nicer when we have the real thing - but, this does help us visualize the finished product.



 And of course, all the details will really make it beautiful.  The sleek industrial style faucet, drawer pulls and the beehive pendants will  really dress up the space!

  2. It's good to know that Home Depot can do good work like this...i may just use them for my kitchen renovations some day. do you do the labor yourself, or do you have Home Depot contractors do it for you?
    looks like it will be a beautiful kitchen!

    1. We've been really happy with Home Depot. We do most of the install - but get help from our contractors on the tricky parts like the crown molding at the ceiling. We had Home Depot do the granite countertops - they had the best price around and the installers did a great job!

  6. I like the eating bar/peninsula and can't wait to see the finished product! I've been having trouble with the layout in our kitchen, and I think something like that would work for us.

    1. Jean,

      I really wanted an island in this kitchen - but it just wouldn't work with the furnace flue that jutted up one side of the room and the traffic flow. This peninsula seemed like the ideal solution. We'll be installing it in the next week or so, so stay tuned for pictures! I'll also post sneak peeks on our Facebook site.
