Kitchen, part 1 { PURE Beach Dream Home, posts #5 }

It has been a busy week, but what else is new!  Here is a peak at the start of our Beach Home kitchen design.  Some elements that I have to have:

• Open shelving, which saves on our cabinet allowance plus I love the look.
• White cabinets in a clean shaker style
• Gray counter tops, hoping for quartz if we can fit it in our budget.

I will be adding color with custom pendant shades - in my fabrics of course - I can't wait to share this!!  The floors with be a rustic grade natural maple.  The kitchen is on the second floor with great views, a lot of windows, and a spacious deck - the ceilings are vaulted so it will feel big and airy.  It will be a BEAUTIFUL room!

I've been collecting Kitchen Inspiration for awhile on pinterest!  Here are a few of my favorites.

The kitchen is along one wall and has a huge 11 foot long island!

Up against the wall we will have a range, hood, refrigerator, open shelving, and pantry.  The range is in the exact middle of the room, and the modern range hood will have a chimney all the way up the vault - this will be very dramatic.

The island will have trash/recycle, dishwasher, sink, and microwave.  It is 42 inches deep and 11 feet long, seating for at least 5.  I love how the kitchen is part of the family room - a great place to hang out and entertain.
