What a dream - this specific combo of Scandinavian/Japanese/craftman style, warm colors, and materials are things that I've been admiring for a long time! My partner and I are also saving to make changes to our smaller, dated kitchen. Our kitchen is original to the home and actually has a few similarities to your layout (minus the island and peninsula). Adding to the nosy questions if that's ok ><
1) How do you feel about the narrow countertops/drawers next to the range and fridge? We have the same fridge/stove layout, but I'm conflicted about how to use the small counters on both sides, especially since we don't have much counter space at all (we just have those and the ones around the sink in our galley kitchen).
2) I noticed that you opted out of a one-drawer pull out for oils/spices - what are your thoughts about having the layout of 3 drawers each next to the range?
3) How did you decide on which number/type of drawers to put where, and any tips for matching (or coordinating) the cabinet wood with flooring?
I'll stop there lol but congrats on the new kitchen and thanks for sharing your beautiful space (and amazing recipes) with us!
I love every single choice you both made! And so sweet that it's your home/work/passions all in a beautiful space. Ok, here's my nosy question- what exact color and line of the Riva flooring did you use? In your pics it all looks so warm and melds a new kitchen in an older house. I'm in a similar style remodel on an old house and just so stuck on the floors. That and we have so much wood to match the tone with. Thank you!
I'm in love with your kitchen! For your cabinets, do the maple interior boxes match the cabinet doors that you got custom made separately? I was wondering how you were able to make them look seamless together, even though the grain and color may be different. Are the doors full oak wood? I really like the smooth, flat look of your doors, but many places I've looked with this style are in MDF, but not real wood. Lastly, may I ask how much your cabinets cost (I'm trying to get a good idea as I'm also based in the Bay Area)? Thanks so much for sharing!
Kristina, it's so beautiful!! Thank you for sharing. And I'm so honored to see my book on your shelf. :)
This is such a dream. Thanks for sharing this level of detail!
