Kitchen-the heart of the home



Well, my biggest excitement lies in the kitchen i believe. That is where everyone ends up hanging out and so may as well make it large and functional. We have never had an island that was super conducive to eating dinner at, entertaining around etc. So that was our first hope. Beyond that, we knew we didnt want same old same old cabinets and speckled countertops (nothing wrong with them, just not our style). So we landed on grey cabinets and a white solid quartz countertop from Caesarstone. The color scheme will be like that of this first picture yet we arent sure on upper cabinets if they will as well be grey or similar to picture with aluminum and frosted glass or even a bamboo type color. Our meeting with the cabinet people is in a few weeks so that will be nailed down soon. Feel free to post your thoughts!
The island will be similar to that of this first picture with the sink in the island (and dishwasher) but we are working on an idea to either just simply extend the counters out to accomodate barstools or to add some sort of floating wood L shaped piece that will sit on top of the island to accent the eating area similar to the picture, but instead it would be parallel and resting on top of part of the island instead of perpendicular. Also still out for vote on that on.
