So the entire wall where the fridge will be, will also be floor to ceiling (I couldn’t get the cabinets to extend all the way to the ceiling in my mock ups) cabinets, which we think will look awesome and give us tons more storage than we currently have.
So when you walk in our front door, instead of seeing a wall:
Of course, the 3D drawing is far from perfect–I excitedly threw it together pretty quickly last night using floorplanner.com–but the measurements are right on, meaning we are ready for the next step–everything else.
We haven’t decided on countertops, cabinet colors, finishes, hardware, lighting–nada. But now that we finally have a layout we are both stoked about–we are ready to move forward. Get excited!
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

I was JUST going to comment, “What program do you use?” Very impressive Jules. I must be a true fan, because I’m so wrapped up and excited in the moment right now.
hey. i hate my kitchen.
A good portion of the floor to ceiling cabinets on the left side of the fridge will be for the pantry. We’ll do a better 3d sketch as soon as we get all the details ironed out.
How exciting! Are you planning on using one of the cabinets for pantry storage or is there a pantry hidden somewhere??
just got our new kitchen installed :) we went for white cupboards, smeg appliances and caesarstone (white shimmer) benchtops and I love it! have fun! can’t wait to see the final kitchen
first time I’ve been to you blog and I just had to say I love your new floor plan. Can you hurry? I really want to see the finished product!!!
I love it without that wall. It will look so modern and fresh. Very excited for this.
That is the coolest program! It really adds excitement to the process. is the pantry getting nixed as well?
Of course! It totally makes sense taking out that wall. It isn’t a support beam or anything so you just kind of wonder why it was in there in the first place. I can’t wait to see the process!!!
LOVE IT! That is going to be fantastic and I can’t wait to see it all unfold.
Hi, I’m a new reader. I think taking out that wall is a great idea! Also, a floor to ceiling storage wall would look beautiful, but I’d be worried there wouldn’t be enough counter space with that layout, since the peninsula is broken up with the stove top,
Hey Sarah! We’ll have about the same usable square footage of counter that we have now, but we aren’t opposed to having a small free-standing island if we feel like we need more when all is said and done. Thanks for your concern!
Deciding on the correct kitchen countertops is the perfect way to beautify your existing cooking and eating area. When you are feeling the desire to do some refurbishing, this will be one of the main things to consider since you will be working with an existing setup.
ohh my gosh! that is so exciting. I love this idea. and can’t wait to see it all come together.
