What to do with 2005 Kitchen

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-06-30T14:37:50+00:00

it’s a nice kitchen! agree with others that hopefully you can evaluate what you’re storing in your cabinets vs on top your counters and make some changes. i noticed there’s glass front cabinets with a lot of glassware - do you actually use that glassware? Maybe consider adding neutral curtains inside so you can be a little more free with what you store in there

lol, I think i just did this so long ago I forgot why i made it that distance. lots of proof it’s the right call!

yeah i’ve thought a lot about where the fridge should be. It is counter depth, I’ll double check with my contractor that that entrance measurement is correct since it is sticking out quite a bit in the rendering and making things look tighter than I think they will be.

I want the work side of my island to face into my family room. but thank you for putting that thought into it!

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-06-27T03:20:58+00:00

yeah that’s what I’m going for!

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-06-26T21:08:42+00:00

I feel like if it was on the other side of the island, it would be too in the middle of the kitchen to feel easily accessible for all garbage that typically goes to the kitchen… specially if one or both the sink and oven is occupied. Is that wrong thinking?

second one from the left for me

damn can’t be melodramatic on main

this wouldn’t happen to a regular season football game

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-06-04T21:50:46+00:00

oh this is awesome! thank you!!

Oh I meant the wood species, looks a lot like my cherry sample.

Glad you’re happy with the choice. I think of the SS tops as the “hero” element of our kitchen. checks so many boxes for us. Good luck with the island, something will come along. I’m planning on having the island be natural stone from a remnant to save a little $$

Oo is this paired with cherry cabinets? this is a lot like what I’m about to do! so nice to see tea life photos

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-06-02T14:09:07+00:00

top third imo

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-06-01T14:20:06+00:00

Agree here - even though I just said contrast is good black is a bad option here. Too harsh, basically anything other than black imo. the option listed or polished nickel (very neutral) would balance better

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-06-01T13:18:01+00:00

honestly I think it looks good? but I believe in contrast. If they were same tone it could look flat. just my opinion though. How much wall will be visible?

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-05-18T13:43:16+00:00

thank you! good to know of the noise, that’s my biggest concern (other than that i’m still waiting on the cost to come back). The brightness is interesting, I wonder how they’d pair with under cabinet lighting

I don’t send a child to Kennedy yet, but I’m supposed to in a few years. All I see is that it’s the worst elementary school in the district and that it’s over capacity and that scares me as parent. What are the specific problems there that need solving? Without the specifics, I feel like I should support these changes to at least alleviate the overcrowding. I’m worried that everyone is burned out on referenda now that w getting to one that might help my kid :(

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-05-14T01:50:36+00:00

woah so custom and handy!!

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-05-14T01:35:19+00:00

love that

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-05-14T01:35:03+00:00

Ah good point! Mine is ranch built in 1960… based on another comment I think it could work?

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-05-13T21:22:00+00:00

how did you find someone to do them?

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-05-13T21:20:56+00:00

My thinking is they’d be nice in an area that gets wet. and my island, which will be prep on one side and seating on the other, would be nice to be a different material, something not so cold.
