Building our Bungalow - Project Update

Hello and Happy Holidays!  I thought I would take a few minutes and give you a bit of an update and a sneak peak of some of the inspirational pictures that we used to design our home. 




This kitchen (left side of photo) was designed by Nam Dang Mitchell.  I liked how she used dark stained bead board in the open shelving below the cabinets, so I decided to do that in our kitchen beside the space where the refrigerator will go, except taking it all the way from the backsplash right up to the top of the cabinets.  The cabinets will be all glass.

Here is the start of "fridge wall" and the beadboard backsplash cabinets.
 
This photo I found on "Houzz", this is the inspiration for our pantry area desk just off the kitchen.
 

And here is the start. There will be a few modifications like a cork board and crown moulding to match the rest of the kitchen and mudroom lockers.
 
 


The above 2 photos were the inspiration for the mudroom lockers. 
 

 Ours will have doors & drawers all across the bottom, but we'll keep the top open for basket storage.

 Here are the doors, we went with a traditional 3 panel shaker style look throughout the house.

Here is where the freestanding tub will go- can't wait to see the wainscoting painted!
 
Our own design - The walk-up bar in the media area on the walk-out level.
 
Well, I hope you enjoyed our little update. More to share with you soon!
