This is the southwest corner of the kitchen. We’ll be replacing the subfloor in this corner. We’re putting apple-green vinyl tile - the kind you find in school cafeterias - everywhere in the kitchen. (But every now and then, we play around with the idea of laminate in this room to match the rest of the house. We've heard both that laminate and water don't mix and that it's OK, so long as you don't let water sit on it for long periods of time.) The sink and dishwasher will go on this wall with some new Ikea base cabinets - either white or beech veneer. We’ll be putting up metal restaurant-style shelves on this wall. We’re thinking of putting white subway tile as a backsplash. We’re looking into the cost for a custom lab-top countertop. If that falls through, we’re going for Ikea butcher block counter tops or a grey Numerar number, also from Ikea.
The north wall. The utility hall, back door and master bed are through this door. We may install wall cabs or shelves here.
The northwest corner. We’re putting a new window (similar in size) here.
Facing south. We’re widening the door between the kitchen and living room. We're even playing around with the idea of taking that wall out altogether and using cabinets to divide the living room and dining room space... still thinking that one through...
The east wall of the kitchen. We’ll be taking out the current hood (which vents to the attic) and putting a new, recirculating one in. We’ve picked out 12” and 18” base cabinets for either side of the stove, which can scoot over, well, just about 12"! The fridge will go next to a base cab. We’ll have wall cabs along this wall, too. The closet next to the stove holds the HVAC. We thought we’d paint it with chalkboard paint. We thought this wall needed new drywall, but our contractor assures us that it's nothing a little tape and drywall mud can't fix. We’ll also need to patch the hole in the ceiling after we pull the hood out.
