New House
Living room
I love our glass backsplash behind our stove and would like to keep it. Our current one is black - I'm not wedded to the color - I thought this white one was nice too. Depends on the cabinets. I greatly dislike tile and would like to stay away from it in the kitchen. Glass backsplash with quartz and butcherblock counters.
I like this photo for the kitchen layout not the style. I would like to keep our current kitchen configuration which is basically cooktop on back wall, sink in front of it in island, recessed fridge on perpendicular wall. I also want to keep the butcher block counters on either side of the stove. I also want to keep a recessed large cabinet with lower drawers beside the fridge for all dinnerware and all silverware. In this photo – I like the idea of bookending the stove area with two larger upright cabinets – one with an oven or two one one side and a computer screen on the other. (I’d like to keep the microwave undercabinet in the island). Currently, our back wall has a stove, beside it are two butcher blocks. Under those are awesome drawers. I would like to keep all of that – but add a pull out garbage at either end under the butcher block – so that back wall would be quite a bit longer than it currently is.
This is another example of the layout that I would like - a linear living, dining, kitchen and likely a little more our scale than the other larger example. In my mind, the garage/mudroom is somewhere behind the kitchen and the entry into this area from the rest of the house is behind the kitchen. See in this phone - there is also a room behind and to the right of the kitchen. We would love to have a seperate music/media room that's not in the main kitchen/dining/living room space - but nearby.
Look at this amazing pantry. We don't want this - but we do want a walk in pantry. The kind with plastic wire shelves. But it would be amazing to have a fridge in there. And one solid counter shelf with lots of electricity for a coffee grinder, toaster, blender, food processor, soda stream, and standup mixer. or maybe two counters with electricity - like an instant pot and the popcorn maker. that would be amazing.
