How I Designed My Studio Kitchen

Add together to favorites

I have hinted a little bit here on the site that we have been busy with a studio kitchen remodel. The private Nouveauraw Facebook Group has been following the progress as I have been sharing regular updates over at that place. The other day, I received several comments asking me how I went virtually designing my studio kitchen space. I started to share over on Facebook, only it was getting so long that I decided to also share my experience and discoveries here on the site. Y'all volition presently encounter why… I have a LOT to share. Hehe Also, many of you don't do Facebook and be interested in this topic besides.

It'due south good to notation that you can use the suggestions beneath as a blueprint approach for whatsoever space in your house. I am merely sharing with you how I approach design and decor. Kitchen designing isn't my profession… but working in i is… and I am excited to share my thoughts with you. It's as well important to know that the infinite I designed is suited for my particular needs, which will undoubtedly wait different for you. That's ok; the aforementioned principles can be applied to your state of affairs. I should also note that my studio kitchen isn't finished nonetheless. We yet accept 1 wall to complete, but we had to accept some time off to deal with other life commitments. And so, let me tell you lot a bit well-nigh the studio kitchen that I take designed; then, I will break my approach down below.

I have been creating this Studio Kitchen with the assist and support of my loving husband, Bob. We accept done 100% of the work. This space is 656 square feet. It was once a two-car garage, converted to a commercial kitchen for food manufacturing, and is at present taking on a life as a Studio Kitchen. During the build-out, Bob had a vision, and the phrase "The Room of Possibilities" departed from his lips. It is so true… the whole purpose for this infinite is to CREATE, to let INSPIRATION run wild, and to fuel the passion that is deep within me and for those who enter it.

I strongly believe that…

Functions for My Studio Kitchen:

Art – of ALL mediums, food existence a huge i. I love to run up, pigment, build, yous name it, and I wanted a combined space for all of it. When it comes to creating recipes and their presentation, I think outside of the box. A quick example, a painting stencil that can inspire me to create a design in my agar cheese molds.
Recipe development – my chore and passion.
Catering – Bob and I beloved to host social gatherings big and minor. I always make all the food from scratch for these events. I dearest secretly loading people with nutrients every bit they munch abroad on delicious food.
Teaching – I would love to go back into education hands-on classes. I haven't done a lot in the past simply enough to show me the value of getting people's easily involved with a bowl of ingredients.
Videos – Ane twenty-four hours, it's my dream to create videos for my nutrient recipes.
Photography – I love taking pictures of all my food creations. This requires plenty equipment, props, etc. to warrant a special department for storing these items.
A place to interact – When two or more come together… mountains can be moved! Visions are discovered, talents are born, passions are nourished, and best of all… lives are spring together!

The Over-all Feeling I Desired

I wanted this infinite to exit an impression. Non only on others but primarily on myself. This is my safe place, my playground, an extension of my personal haven.
Open, airy, inviting, and warming. I want it all! lol
Make clean and positive energy. I require to be surrounded by a positive atmosphere. I do my all-time to purge all negativity from my life, whether that be people, objects, or my surroundings in general. I am a compassionate and empathetic person, this requires me to place a strong force shield around myself so that I tin can remain true to my ethics, beliefs, and growth.
Counterbalanced. A counterbalanced space helps a person experience more grounded and confident. So in ALL my decorating, fifty-fifty down to my food compositions for photography… I use the symmetrical balance of objects and colors. Due to my ample space, I wanted the room to experience counterbalanced in weight and color. This lead to me strategically placing each chiffonier, countertop, shelving brandish, apparatus, plant, and pops in color in such a way that as your eyes either browse the room or fifty-fifty if you stand up still and let your peripheral vision float throughout the space… the room would feel balanced and grounded. I use this same approach in ALL my decorating.

My Choice of Colour and Materials

I named my style Industrial Farmhouse. I pulled together different colors and textures to create a sample lath of the overall feel that I was aiming for. This gave me a visual, which also helped me stay on track with my plan. Trust me, bright shiny objects will come up your way, and when they do, you lot need something to keep you focused. Let me explain what and why I selected these for my pattern. That's non to say that as yous build,/decorate a space that things won't change. We've had two design changes along the way, but nosotros made sure to call up it through before activating them.

When it comes to decorating, I tend to use the repetition of items, materials, and colors. This ways that I tend to echo a pattern, color, texture, line, or whatsoever other element to aid relax the center when a person enters a space that I take laid out. Equally you read through my color choices and the materials I selected… run across if you can go the "feeling" that I was aiming for as you look through the photos I have attached throughout this post.

Colors

White – well-baked, clean, timeless.
- Cabinets, dishware, accent pieces.
Stainless (silverish) – industrial, serious, timeless.
- Dishware, hardware, sink, workstation.
Browns, tans = wood – warm, inviting, homey, relaxing, timeless.
- Flooring, ceiling fan, cutting boards, accent pieces.
Green – soothing, healing, growth, harmony, freshness, safety, fertility, environment, and nurturing. Because it strongly represents nature, I consider it a neutral color that compliments other accent colors.
- Existent plants; they assist better air quality by oxygenating the air, helps reduce carbon dioxide levels and tin increase humidity. Indoor plants play a vital function in providing a pleasant and tranquil environment in which to move, piece of work, or relax.
- Artificial plants; Artificial plants are suitable for high places that are likewise hard to reach for watering and/or don't receive plenty light to sustain the growth of a plant and are great for those who lead hectic lives and don't want to risk killing live plants. We must choose our "battles."

My Selection of Cloth / Texture

Stainless – has a natural coating that prevents oxidation and is, therefore, non-corrosive. It is like shooting fish in a barrel to clean and does not succumb to damage from exposure to water or cleaning agents. Information technology also does non absorb leaner and is considered a very hygienic textile. Using stainless steel components is environmentally responsible since steel is well-nigh a hundred pct recyclable material.
Forest – is an splendid material for adding warmth to spaces by making it experience cozy and welcoming. Regardless of the natural coloring of the wood, it can exist mixed and matched; nighttime and light woods play well together. Information technology kind of breaks the rules of everything needing to be merely one style. Forest can be modern, contemporary, land, farmhouse, rustic, antiquarian, one-time, and new. Regardless, information technology works in ANY application and is helpful to utilise to balance an infusion of design styles.
Plants – I have included plants as a cloth. They are freeform flowing and come up in all shapes and sizes. They are perfect for helping to fill voids, adds softness to harsh lines, and stand for life, which invites pockets of energy to the room.

Organization equals Functionality

Nosotros all lead busy lives, and there are times when we have to choice and choose where we want to dedicate our energy. Is incessantly searching for an item or ingredient in your kitchen a style that you want to spend that energy? To reduce the fourth dimension spent looking for objects, we need to implement an organization. Remember me mentioning that it's essential to know how you want to utilise your space? Once you know this, y'all can better organize it. So grouping similar-items or task-driven items is crucial, and there are so many organizational tools that will help y'all achieve this.

My Selection of Cabinets, Drawers, Open Shelving, Countertops, Floor

In kitchens, you typically see cabinets and drawers being used to store your goods. Cabinets on the bottom, topped with a few drawers, and cabinets above with shelves. They are the norm of kitchen design, only how and where nosotros apply them can be a game-changer. This day and age, there are more creative options. Here is a link to IKEA'due south kitchen cabinets and drawers, which I will be talking more about afterwards.

Lower Cabinets

When I designed my studio kitchen, I decided that drawers for all lower cabinets were going to benefit me the almost. No more than losing items in deep dark cabinets where spiders and who-knows-what-else lives. And boy, was I right. I am withal in awe of this decision. I could select anywhere from ii to six drawers per cabinet. This is when my inventory list of what I already had and what I needed helped. The drawers extend entirely, giving me complete access to my kitchen tools!

Upper Cabinets

For the upper cabinets, I selected doors with glass fronts. 1 section of these glass shelves is defended to my dry ingredients, which are housed in glass jars/containers. I positioned these higher up a counter that I volition mainly apply for mixing, blending, and food processing. I designed for this counter to run under ii windows that bring me joy and sunlight. I will impact base on that later on.

The other upper cabinets that flank the fridge and freezer are also fabricated with glass fronts. I wanted glass in these because I knew that I would be displaying my catering and photography dishware in these. I filled them with white and stainless steel. Both colors are versatile for whatever event I am hosting, and they accentuate the beauty of the foods I create. I also dear heavy ceramic bowls. It reminds me of when my Peachy Grandmother would stand up in her kitchen with a massive ceramic bowl in the crook of her arm, resting the bowl on her hip, while briskly stirring the ingredients within it with the other paw. All while attending to the countless questions that I had as a child.

I shared above why I employ stainless bowls besides, but some other reason is because of their crisp and smooth texture. This will audio odd, perhaps… but those material feelings remind of being a footling girl curled up in my mom'southward lap. She ever had gorgeous long fingernails that I profoundly admired. To self-soothe myself, I would bring her hand to my mouth and brush her smooth, cool nails along my bottom lip. To this day, I find myself doing this same action (except with my own nails) when I am gazing out in infinite, ponding things.

So, that is why I decided to "showcase" these items in glass doors. They make grinning, they warm my center with memories, and satisfy my culinary needs. In all of the upper cabinets, Bob installed LED lighting strips inside of them, which is a beautiful feature.

Pantry Cabinets

On the wall housing the refrigerator and freezer, I flanked them with 90″ tall pantry cabinets. Again, I was able to alter their design, customizing them to my needs. I put three drawers in the base of operations of each 1, side to side swing-out-doors in the center, and a door that lifts on the meridian. 1 of the side pantries is fix up to business firm more ingredients; bottles, numberless, cans… stuff y'all don't want to be seen. Over again, I controlled where the cabinets would be and so I could avoid deep night pockets of the Twilight Zone. The other tall pantry houses all my large party hosting decor and some appliances. I take to stop for a second to give a shout-out to my dear husband. This all couldn't take happened without his Jack-of-ALL-trades and mathematical skills! Getting all of these cabinets/fridge/freezer/and drawers to line up perfectly is pure magic if yous enquire me. hehe

Drawers

I have already touched a little bit virtually why I went with drawers. To me, they are simply flat out astonishing. They are the all-time organization "tool" that I have nevertheless to find in any kitchen space. I put in pocket-size (4.75″ deep ), medium (nine.75″ deep ), and big drawers (xiv.5″ deep) throughout the space. That way, I can fit everything between a spoon to a blender in those drawers! The whole drawer matter was my saving grace in making my kitchen studio 100% functional and efficient.

Open Shelving

This won't ever be viable in a kitchen space due to size and aesthetics, only for my area, information technology was perfect. I selected an open up shelving system that allowed me to display it in any configuration that I wanted! To me, it'south functional, creates efficiency, and is beautiful… all rolled into one. I presented a mixture of everyday items that I apply, along with some decor items (merely made sure that I didn't go to carried abroad with tiny tchotchkes (knick·knack) things). Everyday items tin go "art" too. The use of these shelving systems too kept the space feeling open and airy, too as adding a balance of weight throughout the room. I used IKEA's Kungfors arrangement.

Countertops

One thing that I learned near countertops is that they tin apace pause the budget. I had no idea that such surfaces could cost then darn much. :) In my original design, I selected wood countertops. I was in LOVE with the Idea.

Simply after nosotros built the beginning wall and placed a department of the wooden countertop on the chiffonier base of operations, my LOVE started to waiver. The design in the wood competed with the patterned vinyl forest plank floor, it felt too dark, and then I began to recall nearly the maintenance of it also.

Certain, I had idea of these issues before the purchase, just I was too in love with the concept of having wooden counters that information technology clouded my ability to remember logically. Don't get me wrong, I call back they can exist gorgeous, and worth the endeavor Only I was out to create a space that required little to no maintenance, I wanted my energy to be used elsewhere. So, they were returned with no questions asked.

Later weighing out the cost of other types of countertops, information technology was decided to get laminated tops. I selected ones that requite the advent of physical. I never thought in a million years that I would pick such a countertop, only that's what happens when you are open-minded. Hehe

There are a lot of things to take into consideration when selecting countertops, and if information technology had been my central firm kitchen, I would have gone a different route. I used IKEA'southward EKBACKENCountertop, light grayness concrete countertops. The other twenty-four hours I did a stain test on a scrap piece that was leftover. I poured some beet juice on it and left it sitting overnight. The next forenoon I wiped it up, and it didn't leave a stain or whatever mark. Yay!

Floor

Ah, lastly, the floor. Oddly enough, this was ane of the first things that we decided on. I mean, I had already created an overall vision of the expect and feel that I wanted in this infinite, only this was the first affair we did. Typically, flooring is the last to go in, just in my instance, this isn't your standard kitchen space, so we laid ours offset. We laid snap together vinyl plank flooring. It took Bob and me ten hours from offset to finish. The laying of the flooring wasn't the hard part; it was the selection of it that nearly collection u.s. crazy.

We looked at 100's of samples, fabricated several choices, but in the terminate; nosotros picked something different so we thought nosotros would. This is what I learned:

Don't make your choice based on tiny floor samples. Open the boxes and lay them out on the floor. We laid out several fifteen square foot floorings down the isles of the hardware and floor stores. I quickly discovered that the overall look and patterns didn't match what was being represented in the samples. Odd colour streaks, too many knots were sprinkled throughout the flooring, etc. It was an heart-opening feel.
Durability – We all need the flooring to be durable, that's a no-brainer, but again budget can be a significant deciding factor. We went to the middle-ground. It came with a 30-year warranty, waterproof, audio reducing pad attached, 20mil vesture-layer thickness, and best of all the perfect floor for two DYI-never-laid-flooring-before people! hehe
Don't exist afraid to inquire for a disbelieve! The floor nosotros selected was Not on sale, but we asked for a discount and saved $1.00 a square foot! That was a $656 savings. Not so shabby for "merely asking?!"
Nosotros purchased our floor locally, but (here) is a link to the make.

Appliances

For me, this was 1 of the most meaning game-changers. Since I was taking this space from a commercial manufacturing kitchen and repurposing it into a studio kitchen… information technology meant that I could move the LOUD appliances out of the area. This to a higher place everything was most important to me. Running ii commercial fridges, two commercial freezers, and a commercial dehydrator in that space acquired a person's ears to go numb after a while. With the decision to relocate these items, it meant that I could select appliances that were more ear-friendly. Though I will admit, information technology has been a challenge to downwardly-size these items. So, what appliances did I choose?

Fridge / Freezer

I went downwards the center route again. I needed something larger than the standard firm fridge, yet smaller and QUIETER than a commercial one. I wanted the inside of the unit of measurement to be as square and boxy every bit I could get. That way, the space within would exist efficient for my needs. Thank goodness, I institute information technology! The Frigidaire Gallery 18.six cu ft upright stainless fridge and freezer (two units). But they were out of my budget. Throughout the time it took to design the kitchen, I kept looking for deals on these units. That was when I came beyond a deal on the local Facebook Virtual Garage Sale. I found those exact units for one-half the cost, and they were only six months former. We besides purchased a kit that tied to the ii units together, making them look every bit one. Love it!

I had to share this photograph because when I walked into the room, I establish the fridge and freezer sitting like this. Information technology was as though they were reaching out for a HUG. Lol, Have y'all hugged your fridge lately?

Things we didn't know earlier purchasing the kit – You need the infinite to lay both units down to attach all the kit parts. Doing this means you demand to find a place for all your fridge and freezer foods to live for 24 hours since once the units are upright, they accept to exist off for 24 hours earlier turning them back on. We were lucky; we had other fridge and freezers to put the stuff in, and we had the space to lay them down… this may non be the instance for many people.

Frigidaire Gallery eighteen.6 cu. ft. Freezerless Refrigerator in Stainless Steel
Frigidaire Gallery 18.6 cu. ft. Upright Freezer in Stainless Steel
Frigidaire Double Louvered Trim Kit – TRIMKITEZ2 (best pricing at the fourth dimension)

Dehydrators

I already did a postal service on the Samson Silent Dehydrator, which y'all can read (here). Therefore, I won't become into particular as to why I selected these units. Nosotros take yet to install these into their cabinet because we haven't completed the remodeling job. Stay tuned for more updates on the terminal wall, which will house the dehydrators and a double oven. I heard your gasps. haha

Lighting and Ceiling Fan

I didn't want to forget mentioning these two items considering they were heavy hitters in my overall design as well. Air motility and lighting can make or break the layout of a space. Don't believe me, step into a world-renowned museum that is filled with priceless, exquisite art… at present turn off the airflow, feel how heavy and thick the air feels? Feel how suffocating it is to stand there? Now discover the lighting, they used light bulbs that are on the blue spectrum, and as it casts a lite on the painting, it looks lifeless, wearisome… making information technology hard to immerse yourself into the mind of the artist? Ready to spend some other two hours strolling through in this space? Not me said the plant-based chef. haha

Ceiling Fan

Remember when I said that my Studio Kitchen infinite used to exist a double car garage? Well, garages are BIG open spaces, and when designing a kitchen in such an area, information technology can seem cold and empty. That is why I decided to put a ceiling fan in the room.
It physically and energetically created motion in the air.
I selected a ceiling fan with wooden blades to add warmth and to compliment the other wood accents in the room.
I purchased it from Dwelling house Depot – Altura DC 68 in. Indoor Matte Black Ceiling Fan with Remote Control

Bob… installing the under chiffonier lighting while he was jibber-jabbering away on the phone with a friend. He is a Jack of ALL Trades!

Lighting

This is more of a complicated bailiwick matter. Considering lights come up in different color tones called lumens and lighting can significantly bear on the look and feel of a space. Since we had installed IKEA kitchen cabinets, nosotros purchased their lighting systems. But once we installed i, nosotros realized that it wasn't exactly what nosotros were looking for. Their lights take more of a yellow hue to them, which, in reality, is perfect for a typical house kitchen. Simply in my studio kitchen, I have fluorescent overhead lighting, which is more on the blueish spectrum. Therefore I wanted the lights in my upper cabinets to lucifer. That way, my low-cal hues weren't competing with one another.

Since my sweetness married man has a lot of experience with lighting, I leaned on him heavily to help resolve the outcome. I have heard of him refer to Kelvin Color Temperature, which as to practise with color temperatures. If you wish to read more nigh this, which I highly recommend, if anytime you are looking to add together or upgrade lighting.

(Bob here, I also matched the colour temperature of the cabinet lights to the main room lights. Equally Amie said higher up, colour temperature is expressed in K (Degrees Kelvin). Incandescent bulbs tend to exist a warm feeling about 2700K. In this space, we wanted to have a colour closer to daylight and went with 5000K. These ratings for bulbs can change the feeling of a room. Hither is a link to more info about color temperature: http://world wide web.westinghouselighting.com/color-temperature.aspx )

Bob concluded up finding some through Amazon, and to sweeten the deal, they were even less expensive than IKEA. I dearest saving money. :) The ones he selected are lighting strips, which he installed under i ready of upper cabinets as well as inside the glass cabinets.

Outside of the aesthetics of creating my studio kitchen, there are areas of exercise that nosotros always need to address. Below I will run through them… all of what I am sharing is how I finalized my design. But I am likewise sharing "nutrient for thought" with y'all then you lot too tin apply whatsoever or all of these ideas to your own designs.

Program for Real Life

Information technology would wise to spend some time with a dark-green smoothie, a notepad, and pen… writing downwardly what you desire from your kitchen space. Yous have a right to enquire anything about it, and then now isn't the time to get to shy. As you do this exercise, here are some thoughts to keep rattling around in your listen…

How large is your family? Size matters.
What is your eating way? Do you tend to share meals at the table? Do you sit around an isle with stools? Do yous eat on the go?
What is your diet? And call back, diets change as our bodies and health needs change, and then be open-minded.
What else is the kitchen space used for? This may seem similar a no-brainer but seriously… the kitchen is the heart of the house, and a whole lot more happens in there than just preparing food. Nib paying? Homework station? A gathering spot for family meetings? Crafting spot? Animal feeding station? Just you know what your kitchen infinite is capable of and what your needs are. Go along the reality of that in the forefront of your planning.
Over-all what are your desired aesthetics and atmosphere that you want for this creative space? Bright and blusterous? Warm and cozy? Rustic? Modern? Eclectic? An infusion of looks and feels? Don't follow the trends… follow your own design (heart).
With those questions in mind remodeling or newly building, a kitchen is commonly a one fourth dimension bargain. My suggestion is to aim for a classic simple design and timelessness. This includes floor, countertops, cabinets, and large appliances. Adding decor, color, and uncomplicated features can be changed as your tastes change… and trust me, they volition.
Equally yous get-go working on the details of what you want in the kitchen infinite, periodically footstep back and review the big flick to make certain that y'all are still on track to your overall vision. It'south piece of cake to end up downwardly a rabbit hole when you lot are buried in the details.

I hit you with a lot of questions for y'all to ponder upon. Some of the answers may come quickly, and others may take some time. Take all the time you need… this is a commitment.

First – Purge Current Kitchen

The first footstep to kitchen pattern is to purge and organize your electric current kitchen. That may audio silly and a waste matter of fourth dimension, but trust me, the cease result to assistance guide you in your design making. Why? Because this forces you to go through each item in every drawer and cabinet and decide if you Really want or need that item. Create sell / donate / trash boxes. After you are done purging and organizing, you will have a much better idea as to what kind of space you lot will need moving forward. With each detail, ask yourself?

Do I need this?
When did I final apply it?
Is it cleaved?
Practise I have duplicates?
Does it fit my current culinary needs?
Is it best to sell information technology and make some money? Donate information technology for a revenue enhancement deduction? Gift it and make someone's day?

Blueprint Your Dream Kitchen

Bob taught me this tactic early on in our relationship. Any you are creating in life, design your dream … then calibration back to fit your budget, removing items that are the least desirable (or at to the lowest degree crash-land them to the bottom of the list), leaving you with some real treasures that make you smile. If you do this in the reverse gild, it may stifle your imagination and conclusion making in creating a space that you don't really bask or doesn't function well. So let's dive into how I approached the design of my studio kitchen.

Create Appliance & Kitchenware Listing

Do this on paper and then you can visually encounter what you have and what you lot need. So, for instance, we all have silverware, and 95% of the time, we store it in a drawer.
Some appliances live on the counter; some are better suited to beingness tucked away in a cabinet. Assign a home for all of the items you have. Again, it may seem silly, just trust me, building out a kitchen is a serious matter.

Small Appliances Listing

What appliances will live on the countertop? If not on the counter, would it exist more accessible in a cabinet or drawer? Counter space is prime real estate in a kitchen, use it wisely. If your counters as also cluttered, it may create a cluttered mind, thus making it less enjoyable to spend time in there creating delicious, nutritious foods.
Items that you use daily are best suited for the countertop, such every bit; dehydrator, food processor, blender, spiralizer, etc.

Big Appliance List

Refrigerator(s) – it's not uncommon to hear of plant-based cooks to have more than than one refrigerator. Will your infinite accommodate that, or does it go in the garage or some other spot?
Freezer – Even if y'all are eating a 100% raw food diet, I would recommend a freezer. It's a peachy place to shop nuts and seeds since they are prone to going rancid due to their loftier-fat content. Yous tin can likewise freeze seasonal fruits and veggies and then you lot can savor them throughout the year. Plus, if yous are into making smoothies, frozen bananas and berries are perfect for those. I also like to brand raw cheesecakes, cakes, cookies, crackers, cereals, and granolas in advance… these tin all be frozen.
The Oven- even when I was 100% raw foodie, I used an oven for cooking for others. Some people go rid of their stoves when they prefer a raw diet, thinking they will always eat 100% raw… only we accept to remember that our kitchen doesn't dictate our diet and nutritional needs; our bodies do. So if you are thinking of NOT having an oven or stove, be sure you give information technology some SERIOUS Idea, particularly if you permanently remove the infinite that 1 could live in.

Everyday kitchen things to think about:

Sinks- think outside of the norm. Exercise you need ane or two sink cavities? If you use a dishwasher regularly, a large, one cavity sink might a great option. Will your infinite fit a more significant than usual sink and then you can wash dehydrator trays with ease? I kept my commercial sink in the kitchen studio considering it allows me to wash large items; cambros, dehydrator trays, etc. Plus, I saved money in non needing to supersede it.
Food Prep Stations – In your design planning, create food prep stations. For example, Food processor station, surround your food processor (whether in cabinets, drawers, and/or countertop) keep complimenting tools nearby; bowls, measuring cups and spoons, spatulas, etc. Create these stations based on your eating style. For plant-based chefs this might look like: Food Processing Station, Blending Station, Dehydrating Station, Nutrient Prep Cutting Station, Plating Station.

Organization is the key to staying motivated, artistic, and functional!

With your listing of needs in hand, it's fourth dimension to start designing. I thought I was going to accept to do this in my caput. That overwhelmed me, so I tried to manus draw my infinite… that turned into a bad looking cartoon. Lol, We then establish out that IKEA offered (for free) a iii-D Kitchen Building Programme. Even if you plan to become a different route, you could use their plan to plug in measurements, cabinets, etc. to become a visual.

I am 100% a visual person… pregnant I need to Run across things. I Feel a infinite within me, but I can't meet information technology. That goes for everything I practise in life. I hope that makes sense. So having this 3-D tool was a game-changer for me. It gave me my vision in 3-D from all sorts of angles, and information technology kept a running tally of what we were spending. Before knowing they offered this, nosotros spent quite some fourth dimension researching different cabinet companies, and in the end, nosotros decided on IKEA. At kickoff, Bob was confronting information technology. Even so, after I did TONS of research, weblog reading, review reports, then actually going and physically inspecting their kitchen products, we felt that we were getting skillful quality as well every bit a reasonable price!

Ok, if y'all made it to the finish of this post… I curtsy and applaud yous! I didn't hateful for it to exist this long, but details are of import when planning such spaces. I hope you found this helpful. If you are thinking, dreaming, planning, or currently in the midst of a remodel… remember that YOU Tin Practise IT! Bob and I but jumped in and tackled this projection. Nosotros approached each pace with grace and ease, nosotros never had a crossword with one some other, we listened to each other's thoughts and suggestions… and we had fun! There is nothing more rewarding then walking out of the studio kitchen, turning around, and maxim, "Wow! We built this!"

If you lot have any further questions or want more details on a topic, let me know. Stay tuned for the progression of this space! More to come! blessings, amie sue
