We all know how I LOVE putting together a new kitchen. Bonus is that I live only 2 hours from a BRAND NEW IKEA! ** SCORE**!!!!
So far, here are the design elements of the kitchen.

This is the kitchen layout.
Here is the layout so you can see where everything goes. There is a bay window over the sink.
Here is the main kitchen layout done with the Ikea Kitchen Planner:

Here are the other two kitchen walls. The white cupboards go against the East wall where it says 96″
The dark cupboards go on the South Wall where it says 60″ For some reason the microwave isn’t showing up in the rendering.

This is the door cupboards, countertop and sink that I will use. Domsjo double bowl farmhouse sink, beech countertops and Ramsjo white doors. (yes I know I am missing the little umlaut thing over the “o” in Domsjo and Ramsjo . ..

I am keeping my yellow Chambers oven and adding a new buttercup yellow Big Chill fridge! This fridge is so cool! Bonus is I got one off the “scratch and dent” showroom floor! Yay me!

Next is this most awesomest cool seed counter I found in an antique shop and will use for an island. This thing is HUGE but fits just perfectly. It is out of the old Rocky Mountain Seed Company.

Next is lighting! Two of the schoolhouse pendants will go over the island and the pulley lights will go over the peninsula. The rest of the kitchen will have recessed lights.

Then — how cool is this — I found some antique French ceramic tiles in an antique store in Denver. I have enough to backsplash behind the Chambers wall. Let’s just pretend the tiles are Swedish and not French — k? I am also still debating drawer pulls and knobs.

I am debating on what to make the rest of the backsplash. Stay tuned for updates on that.
The wall on the backside of the coat closet will hold a wall oven and microwave. I also am going to put wood colored Ikea cabinets in that part to make it look more like a built-in, I am waffling between the Adel brown and the new Ramsjo brown-red. That wall will be all cabinets around the oven and two pull-out pantry doors.

Lastly, the floor througout the house will be beetle-kill pine. We had this in the log house and LOVED it so are using it again.

Also keep in mind that there will be crown molding over the cabinets on the North and East wall, and also Mark will custom make corbels and a plate rack to go under the North wall cupboards, just like we did in the log house.
Yes, yes, I know you have a ton of questions like — where are we now? Why did we move? blah blah blah — lots to tell, just no time to tell it! Ha!
