small modern kitchen [picture]

16 years ago

Hi All,

Have you ever had a good feeling from the beginning with your designer, sales?

Well in this case I'm the one that had a very good feeling with the client from the beginning.

the client had a small budget to dedicate on the kitchen cabinetry, but she was soo great that in the end came up a very nice project.

With less then $10,000 she had a nice laminate grey oak cabinetry with white flip-up wall units, plenty of drawers including pull out drawer for trash and I give them a panel for fully integrated DW because she was going to save money... but I don't like design kitchen with no integrated dw.

:-) sorry is not my style.

so here we go.

- dark grey oak laminate

- white flip-up wall unit

- led lights strip

- dacor appliances (she owned the range before the kitchen

- bosch fully integrated DW

- sharp microwave drawer

- hood from Italy (included in the price of the kitchen)

- quartz countertop

look also the floor how we stained .. .love it!!

Ok, at the risk of pointing out the wrong thing--the cabinet over the fridge?

You did an awesome job on such a limited budget though! It looks terrific!

I was thinking too much of a gap between the fridge and cabinet.

LOVE the kitchen though!

i'm impressed! great space for not a lot of money!
and i agree with the others: cabinet above fridge. -although this honestly wouldn't bother me.

This kitchen is too good; it needs a better surroundings. I would adjust the Holstein cow area rug in the second photo. In the future, I would find art for the wall next to the kitchen on the right hand side, and perhaps put a mirror on the left hand side pillar next to the kitchen.

I love the kitchen. Did the $10K budget include the quartz? As for the "flaw" I would suggest the uneven switch plates on the wall to the left of the range wall. The gap above the fridge may be necessary for the fridge airflow specs.

Very nice! Can a back be added to the fridge cabinet to eliminate the view of the wall behind? Even a short piece would make it look more finished.

Very smart, snappy, disciplined! Tell us about how you handled the floor stain project. What was previous floor? What products, procedures? Don't be spare in your verbiage, giacomo!

Only 2 stools--a flaw?

Hmmm....paint the wall behind the refer black to make the gap less noticeable?

Maybe, Does the door in the corner next to the stove open? *guesses* It looks like it's a pullout and the angle of the picture makes it seem like the handle of the range would be in the way.

Wonderful job giacoma, as usual. Really lovely kitchen period, but esp. for that price. Congratulations on another job well done.

GW has very nice eyes!!

Yes is the space between the fridge and the cabinet above.
So I ask to raise the fridge as much as possible and see if they will need a panel.

jakabedy, no the quartz was apart. and the switch plates was out of my control, but I told the client to a least ask the GC to put outlets the same.. she has some round some square.

Usually I close the front between fridge and above cabinet but I leave open on the top/back to have air flow to the fridge.

The owner just move in so still in process do decorate and they working to fix next to the kitchen, but they have a fabulous vintage table and I didn't take pictures.

The floor is oak and is new.
the finish was just bleached and then have a water base varnish with grey paint. Here in Chicago we have a little gem where you can go with a sample and they will match.
I also take the stain from them for my showroom.. very nice dark grey... I love it.
I'm tired of yellow/red oak. :-)
