Now for the fun part! Designing my home. Before any building begins, I get to have fun deciding what I want each room to look like. Every week I will dedicate a post to a specific room and store all my ideas for my future build right here. This week, my favorite room in the house, the kitchen!
I absolutely love kitchen design. This is the room people spend a lot of their time at home in. From Breakfast to dinner to entertaining, it is used very often so of course it has to be beautiful and inviting. Since my home is going to be completely custom I am able to pick everything out, from the ceiling to the floor. But for this post I will focus on the main features in the kitchen: cabinets, countertops, backsplash and sink specifically. Here is a little collage I threw together a while back when I started thinking about what I want my dream kitchen to be like. I love the waterfall look when it comes to finishing the edge on counters. A wood butcher block center island would be really cool paired with white marble on the perimeter counters. The mix of finishes adds a ton of interest.
Being from the city, I like clean lines and the minimal look, but since I will be building in the country I can afford to go a little more traditional. I will still have that modern feel though. I call this design style Country Chic. Thinking about doing two toned kitchen cabinets. Gives it that custom feel! Grey and White? Here are a few inspiration designs I am digging!
