The Most Fun I've Had So Far - The Kitchen!

We received an amazing kitchen/mud room/powder room design from the fabulous Craig Certner. Yesterday we chose cabinets, counter tops, floor. Fun!

This photo does not do these materials justice! Shaker cabinets, antique white on the majority of them, and light grey on the island, the bar, and in the mud room. Walnut floor in kitchen, mosaic-style small tiles (on the right) floor in powder room and mud room. Counter tops: a combination of grey granite, off white stone, and quartz. 







Kitchen, powder room, mud room from above





The bar. Door to the right leads to mud room. Powder room is directly behind.

From right to left: refrigerator, cabinets, cook top, cabinets, window, armoire from Jenny's bedroom.

Door leading to front hall to the left. Double wall ovens.

Mud room. Door to back yard to the right.

Looking at the island, with your back to the cook top wall. Sink, dishwasher.

Front portico gone. Framing continues

 This is really happening. Long way to go, but it's beginning to feel like a new house.

A BIG reason why front portico needs to be replaced!

Front portico OFF! Gonna keep oversized front door. Give it a spruce.

Back door to the right (where there's a sunny frame). Slightly to the right: mudroom. Straight on: Powder Room



Master bedroom window, which is currently located in the shower. Moving it and shrinking it.

Gorgeous fir gutters



Choosing roof shingles. 


Saved wood, trim, doors stored in the garage

Saved front portico door. May or may not reuse.

Back wall of kitchen addition. See those 4 rectangles? Windows.


Back door, to the left, covered for security.


Behind this framing: Powder Room to the left; mudroom to the right. In front of this framing: The Bar. (Cue theme music)

Standing near back of addition, looking to the front door. 

Living Room to Sun Room

Master shower with covered up window. Window will be moved to the right, next to vanity.
