This week we got a few renderings of our kitchen! We have an official in house measurement appointment later this week but the pictures below are pretty accurate depictions. We are most likely purchasing our kitchen from Lowe's Home Improvement. So far Lowe's offers the best pricing and has the exact style we were looking for. We were inspired by Studio McGees natural wood kitchen design and feel that it fits the modern farmhouse aesthetic we are going for. Our kitchen layout will be an open concept single galley kitchen. What I am most excited about is the single porcelain slab we are installing instead of your traditional kitchen backsplash. The original kitchen had a window to the right where the door now exists. We decided to shift the kitchen to the center of the room so it faces the dinning room area and large panoramic window. We replaced the window with a door to our deck for easier access to the grill and out door deck.
Studio McGee Inspiration. Not your mother's natural wood cabinets, combined with matte black accessories and the panoramic porcelain slab for the backsplash.
One of the renderings we received. Everything is pretty accurate except for the vent hood. Our vent will have a more custom look ; longer white vent with a thin wood trim to match the cabinets(like the one pictured below).
The first picture is the style of porcelain slab we are choosing for the backsplash. Picture to the right is the color of the cabinets and hardware we are going with. The picture at the bottom is a good rendering of our kitchen's layout.
We will be posting more details of the kitchen as we go along but for now I am excited to share these few details. I do have one piece of advice, many cabinet companies will draw up renderings for free, take advantage of this! Have as many companies draw up your kitchen plans, this will give you a good idea of how your kitchen can look as every company will have it's own take on it. I would also recommend going to Lowe's/Home Depot and take a look at the different cabinet and drawer options. Nick and I hate traditional lower cabinets. A lot of space is wasted and it is hard to store and withdraw things like pots and pans. The first cabinet company included these types of cabinets(they usually do to keep cost down). Shopping around for different styles made us realize what is important to us and what our preferences are.
As always if you have any questions ask away!
