Kitchen Design Details

Sometimes it is hard to visualize all of the components 
of a project and how they will work together



Which is why
 I always do numerous project boards
  





When I put an item on the board I immediately know whether
 it is going to work or not
& and if not....delete!


I chose the Thermadore Dual Fuel
6 burner 

I know...it was a safe choice 
but this is a gorgeous stove



 I ended up purchasing the vintage French granite ware pendants 
but almost bought 
the aqua safety glass beauty below
 guess what?  When I included it into the mix on the project board
it looked really odd
so...delete



We are using a mix of stone for the counters
Some will be carrera and some will be soapstone

Our floors throughout the house are 
reclaimed pine
I think it is important to inclued your floor choice
 when making big design descisions


 This kitchen is really very modern
but remember I have lots of great vintage goodies
 to toss in at the end
Here is my completed project board
for your consideration!

  3. You will love the color you have chosen for the cabinets - I do in my kitchen! ;-) Your range choice is great - not so much of the "diva" you may have ended up with many of those other brands.
    Cheers!

  4. Fantastic stove choice, it is so classic yet tough. I am taking a guess here but your going for the 36" apron front stainless steel, 10" deep sink??? That is exactly what we spec'd for our new kitchen. The whole kitchen will look beautiful!

  5. Kelley I love it all! And how do you create your boards, do you use a special program? Also, you will LOVE having soapstone, I love being able to take a hot pan off the stove right onto the counter! And where on earth did you find those aqua lights...do tell!

  6. Yes I did pick the big stainless sink, Hannah!

    I turned down the "diva" Linda. I thought this kitchen needs to remember it's a pretty humble house buitl in 1950!

    thank you ; 0 )

  8. Love your choices, Kelley! I have a farm sink, Villeroy china. It is my favorite thing in my kitchen but...I can see the writing on the wall...it will not be a durable, long term, as your stainless. Perfect choices with a greige paint...mmm...gorgeous!

  21. This is absolutely gorgeous. Just a warning about the stainless apron sink...watch out that belt buckles don't scratch it. A cute apron would take care of that!

  22. It is going to be just fabulous! I love the shades of grey you chose and the lines of the cabinetry. Thanks for sharing the process with us, including the trip to the stone yard. How exciting!

    xo,
