Kitchen and Dining Room Inspriation
Really, really like this kitchen/dining room make-over. The kitchen is practical, warm, and simple. There is lots of storage, but it is not cluttered. The dining area is separate, but not closed off. I would like to borrow lots of these ideas for our space, but not sure how.
Nice color combinations. But, fllip the colors on the cupboards and the island. Blue for the island, and oak for the cabinets.
What a great idea for a small broom closet. It would be nice to have a small space like this to hide the broom and swifer
Nice cabinets, nice wood beams on the ceiling, nice balance of white, wood, and some color
I like the look of the windows and doors for the dining nook.
Nice color combinations
Tile Ideas Nice simple framed mosaic over the stove Island Ideas I like how the seating goes around the corner on this island. Also, there is storage accessed behind the stool, also a nice idea.
The profiles on the cabinet doors are quite nice. Not quite shaker, there is an extra beaded detail. I think Ron would like this. He says the shaker ones are a little too stark, or something like that. I don't like the inset doors--expensive and harder to clean. Can this profile, or something similar be done with full overlay doors?
I like the ceiling details above the dining table. simple white ceiling with stained, mid-tone wood beams.
I like many aspects of this kitchen. Ceilings with beams to define space, simple tile backsplash, wood cabinets and floor, sunny space.
Bungalo style, with a nod to arts and crafts
I love how this bay of windows brings in lots of light to the kitchen. Could we do something like this at the eating side of the great room?

Something like this?
I don't know what it is about this kitchen, but I find it very appealing, even though it doesn't have several of the elements that we want.
Color combination Blue and wood cabinets, white walls, neutral counter. It works pretty well. Floor is too busy for me. With my progressive glasses, I would think I was going to trip on something.
Island ideas Nice way to include deep storage for seasonal items, yet also have seating . . .
something about the colors resonates for me.
Island ideas Color inspiration. Just imagine a slightly duller color to the counter-top.
Island ideas. How would this look, if the other cabinets were oak? and the ceiling were white?
I like the shape of the arches, and the wood finish of the supporting pillars. I think the blue is too bright for my taste, though
I like the combination of high windows and lower shelves. This might be a solution for our wall facing the neighbor's kitchen.
Island Ideas I love this color of blue. If I could, I would use this for the kitchen island. Truly blue, but not too dark, but dark enough to hide scuff marks.
Island Ideas What about a blue island, with wood cabinets around the perimeter?
Backsplash Detail Note the simple, but pretty detail behind the stove. Very nice! It is even blue and white! Island ideas Would a blue island work for our kitchen? Or would it be too much color/detail?
Island Ideas See how the seating area is supported by corbels, and has storage behind. I like this ideas.
Kitchen Sink w/out window It is nice to see how a kitchen sink without a window over it looks like. It is rare. They have done a nice job of it.
Kitchen Cab I like how the full-height pantry at the end of the run helps define the kitchen space in the great room. It also sets off the eating nook from the kitchen.
Windows in the Kitchen
Pantry Nice door idea
Dining Room I really love the look of the shelves around the window, but don't t have the space in our house to do this anywhere.
Corner Ideas I like the corner desk. don't know if a good match for what we want.
Kitchen Layout Like this option for the corner with the window. Shallow counter allows better access. Nice place for glass-front doors. Concern: would the corner be a hip-bumper? Could the bump-out to the standard depth be curved or angles to provide less of a bruise?
Tile Patterns and Island Ideas LIke the tile for the stove backsplash. Instead of a nook, it could be a special large format tile, or something. ( We could possibly use the same tile trim for the tile "carpets" used in the front and back entries.) Nice example of dark blue Island contrasted with brown floor.
Island Ideas The island is a different color from the main set of cabinets. Do we want to try this?
Colors I like the look of the dark navy in the middle of the white/cream walls and wood floor.
KItchen Sink without a window. I like this one, and it looks as if the window is to the left, similar to my proposed layout.
Kitchen or Dining Room Decorative Storage It is earthquake safe, and pretty at the same time.
Floor Plan - Window and Cab. What if the stove were the sink? And the window were smaller, and the stove were just to left of where the sink is shown in the photo? That would be similar to what I am thinking of . . . then just add in the island from the other kitchen, May be I need to think about this some more.
Cab. Layout Look at the shapes, and the layout, not the color. Like the symmetry of the cabinets on each side of the stove.
Floor Plan - Window and Cab. An thinking of a similar position for our kitchen window, but smaller. Wanted to see what it looks like to have a window in close proximity to cabinets. Like the open and closed effect near the window.
Pantry Ok, I wondered what this would look like, I think it is better to have the microwave in the kitchen proper.
Pantry This would work nicely in the Dining area--doors should be solid. Nice to see what bypass slider doors look like on a reach-in type pantry.
Pantry Simple, but effective
Island Design I like how the corner of the counter is rounded to help protect from bruised hips.
Something about the hood over the stove appeals to me. I like the way the soffit, high ceiling, upper cabs, and hood blend together.
