RENO RECAP: KITCHEN DESIGN IDEAS

Double Ovens removed on right side of back wall in this picture

The demo is done in the kitchen and because we decided to remove the soffit above the upper cabinets, the double ovens and their cabinets needed to be removed and reworked. Initially we thought about just moving the double ovens and cabinets to ceiling height like we are doing with the other upper cabinets, but once my husband removed them completely from the kitchen it made the space feel much larger and more inviting and I decided to change my design!

I love open shelves in the kitchen because it is a place to add some design flair with kitchen decor and art and it helps to layer the space and add lots of visual interest. Here are some shelves I am thinking about to go where the oven used to live and I will continue the lower cabinets to the end of the wall on the right. I have used similar shelves before in another kitchen remodel and I loved them so much I think I may use them again!

I love the classic, yet modern look of these shelves and can't wait to these or something similar installed so I can style them (which is my favorite part)!

Now that we are going with a range instead of a cooktop in the island, I would love a range like this:

Via Ilve

But...we may have settle for something more like this (we have a budget even thought I don't want to have one hehe):

via Home Depot

This range is actually on sale at Home Depot right now...so I am checking with the hubby to see if this is a good buy and if we should pull the trigger now!!

I am very excited about these changes and sometimes once you demo and remove things, design ideas pop up and your end result is all the better for it! I put together a short video explaining these changes.

I am excited to see the progress on the kitchen and I can't wait to show you the end result! I hope you are inspired to take on your own projects whether big like this or small, I know you can do it!!

Fondly,
