Farmhouse Functional Kitchen
What did you dislike about your kitchen?
The original design (1984) was dated. Utilizing a breakfast bar, which cut the kitchen in half, and created a bottleneck in the center of the room. Storage was extremely limited due to the lack of cabinets. Having only three ceiling fixtures made the kitchen and work space very dim. The laminate floor, installed in 1999, was at the end of its lifespan.
How did working with a designer help you in the process?
She brought new and fresh ideas to our kitchen plans. She created a concept of lighting that brightened all work spaces dramatically, and really enhanced the look of the kitchen. Helped with decisions for flooring, and introduced us to a great floor company. By working with a designer, it helped us cement decisions that we had already made. You are are spending so much money, and you hope that the choices you are making are the right ones. Having an expert help made us feel better about the decisions we were making.
What do you like most about your new kitchen?
Everything!!!!! After two months of usage, we still have cabinets with little in them. After having to store wine glasses, in a box in the closet, and using a coat closet as storage, it is nice to have all the storage space. We can very the lighting to accent different aspects of the kitchen design. The entire flow of the room is remarkably improved.
How do you think your kitchen remodel adds value to your home?
The kitchen used to be simply a work space that was passed through on the way to other rooms in the home. Now it is a focal point. A bright spot where friends, and family gather. Everyone that knew the old kitchen, and has now seen the new kitchen cannot believe the difference. Everyone loves, as we do!
