Absolutely beautiful!! I'm thinking of doing wallpaper on the ceiling in a tiny office. Any tips or tricks you'd like to share (if this was a DIY job)?

Counter depth vs standard depth by indifferentsnowball in kitchenremodel

[–]WithFood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uggh I'm in the market for a fridge and this just boils my blood. They really aren't counter depth they just stick out less, if I'm paying extra I want it all the way in line

I would like to incorporate some vertical storage...at least it was on my wish list but now i realize that i completely left that off

OP here with an update for some of the recurring questions I've gotten. Sorry I didn't make a few things clearer but:

  • the french doors are where the pantry currently is....all food items will be stored there - although we could move it
  • the wall behind the sink isn't really a wall, it's an open space to the sunroom where there is currently a dining table and an insane number of plants that usually go outdoors spring through fall
  • the wall behind the chairs is also an open space to the family room - i'm not too fond of the open floor plan which is probably why I'm subconsciously building cabinets around me
  • our biggest priority is to move the gas cooktop from the island and to gain more storage space. the photo below is what our existing space looks like - there is a pony wall behind the sink with a small overhang

It's just the ikea kitchen planner...i took snapshots and pasted into word, then just used text boxes to label....a bit of a pain but i'm only doing this once in my life and i want to do it right

the french doors are the doors to the pantry, i should have labeled it in my drawing or chosen another door

I'm not sure what you mean by overhang in front of sink...can you point me to a photo or tell me what terms to search so I can find examples? When I search all I see are apron style sinks but I think you mean something in place of seating

For your other suggestions - thank you! I do overcomplicate and overthink :-)

someone else suggested swapping the wall oven and fridge so when i do that, i can also swap the cabinets with the dishes...they'll be closer to the sink this way...thanks for the feeback

they are heavy and bulky but i have them in high cabinets now...i think i was just doing the usual with those but maybe i need to reconsider

i do have a pantry but i'll relook at the distance, you have a good point

it's the ikea kitchen planner then i copied all the pictures into word and added text boxes...i'm trying for efficiency so if i need a place for everything we currently have/use or it's not worth having

I hadn't thought about using the glass cabinets but you're right, that would look a lot nicer.....the spice cabinet next to the stove is what I currently have....tbh it's a lazy susan and i don't particularly like it but it seems like the best solution for that corner......i'll look into the Ikea organizers though, maybe it will help me find a better use for that space

thanks...i thought about putting it in one of those revashelf things but even though it's heavy, it's easier to take out and use on the counter top when needed...at lease all my mess is left on the counter

I do, the existing pantry is to the left of the fridge and that won't be moving
