Kitchen
Slate instead of wood ?
Shelves
Brackets for shelf and the shelf itself seen to be weathered rough sawn wood. Space between corner cupboard and range hood. Make the corner cupboard out of the same wood.
The overall colors. The wall paint looks similar to the Italian stove color and works well with the white of the cupboards.
Shallow drawer above deeper draw to the left of the stove for pots and their lids
Ikea butcher block countertops and the shelver are supported by Anthropologie supports.
How about if we painted the lower cabinets different shades of the same color.
How about we tile the dining room side of the island. Same design different color as the kitchen tile or do we use the same tile and color.
Make it out of Bamboo and put it in its own little garden.
Could we/should we add a tile insert before the stove.....might be interesting as it would be seen from the table and if we used larger tile with narrow grout it should be easy to keep clean. Maybe take the leftover tile from 724 South.
1 long wrought iron bar to hang the cast iron on and the utensils. Maybe 2 on the wall to the left of the stove instead of a shelf.
Could we have something like this, without the standup plates, for the section of wall at the end of the island. Flat, step back and divided for the blue and gold plates, mugs,bowls.
Should we think about painting the jelly cupboard as we will never sell it as an antique anyway
How simple to build.....angle the holes for the dowels and use different length for cups, glasses. Something like this would work well in the office.
No upper cabinets, just 2 shelves, and the rest tile
Different color on island. I'm liking this idea with also a different countertop (soapstone) so that the kitchen looks as though its been done over time, not all at construction.
Beaded board ceiling and the island is a different color than the rest of the cabinets......makes it look older or newer, an add on.
cup pulls in an old stye finish such as oil-rubbed bronze.
Somehow incorporate open shelving on the wall to the left of the stove and leave the back wall all tile with some artwork. Space for pans, hanging utensils and bowls.
Soapstone with carved channels for the island ? Handle for door into cupboard could be a brass cleat like in this photo.
Use baskets for looks and air flow
The door holds regular sized spices in one row.
How expensive to build
At the end of the island on the kitchen side can we put in pull out shelves for pots only and put shelves for pans under the cutting board area.
Suspended open shelf or shelves to the left of the stove. Use threaded black pipe from the ceiling with the tile as the background. Cast iron pans hanging from bottom shelf.
Could we do something like this glass shelf on the island ?
How about a flat file cabinet for spices. Paint high gloss red or something.
How do you make floating shelves like these. On the short wall to the left of the stove. Oiled or tung on the shelves. What type/color of wood. Try to match jelly cabinet ?
Could be made of wood to hold oven mitts, kitchen towels. Smaller shelf on top or two to hold spices.
Metal counter tops
Maybe an idea for the kitchen/dining area to separate it from the rest of the house........or possibly Judy's office.
Maybe out in office or a narrow row between window and wine storage in main kitchen
Possible ?
Between the studs, where could we do this in the kitchen ?
Great idea for a backsplash
What about a zinc counter top for the island
Mixing of styles
Herringbone backsplash to match the main rooms floor ?
peg board shelving so its adjustable.
Love the way they strung different types of lights from one hub. Talk to Jude about this and maybe change from what we have. Could use this in studio if we build it.
