Hello everybody
today this kitchen is 100% done
and I will take you guys on a tour of this kitchen
and I want to talk about the thing I like the most about this kitchen
to start with..these USB port outlets are so practical
and the around the corner countertop
that allows you to drop your keys, charge your phones or drop your mail
a drop zone...
for all that sh**t...
I like that functionality
if you're remodeling your kitchen, think about all the little things that goes on in a kitchen
you need to charge your phones, ipads and computers, you need homework space or somewhere to just drop your keys
I also just adore the floating shelves
they just sweep around the corner so beautifully
When you're buying floating shelves you need to buy a high quality product
I don't want to throw IKEA under the bus (I LOVE IKEA) but
do NOT buy IKEAs floating shelves..they will sag before you even put anything on them
These are Walnut veneer shelves
Justine and Josh are Chinese Canadian and I love the Scandinavian Asian mix in this kitchen
I find it very interesting that Swedish and Chinese/Japanese design align so well
both are very simple and clean and serene
I also have to say to all of you out there being reluctant towards open shelves
Open shelves provide as much storage as cabinets
they're not wasted space as many people think
It's very practical because the things you use daily are easy to reach
I just love this simple white tile
I have seen so much subway tile over the last couple of years that I am getting a tad bit fed up with it
I felt like..let's do something super simple and make a statement out of it
It feels Bistro and Swedish at the same time
I am so in love with this tile
what do you think?
It doesn't have to be expensive and complicated...it looks smashing anyway
if we look up
I'm going to help you..
Have a look at this
We put tile all the way to the ceiling and also around the nook where the stairs is
that is what makes this kitchen so interesting visually, that the tile goes way higher than usual
not just a small, narrow, path along the countertop
all of this makes the kitchen feel big and spacious even though it is actually itty bitty small
Another thin to like about this kitchen
is the countertop depth french door fridge
all of you that have followed this project remember the graceless fridge tat was here before
It extended almost a foot out from the wall...
total space saver
we're all sooo happy about this
Another this I would like to show you are these super wide drawers
they are over 3 feet wide and they accomodate...A ..LOT..
I love this sleek and modern range
American ranges very often feature some sort of contol panel
on the wall like this
excuse me if you have one..but it looks..outdated..
it throws me back to the 70's
According to Justine and Josh, this range is as fast as gas
so things have definitely improved over the last couple of years
it is not even an induction range and still it is super fast
this is not even a high end range..it's Samsung..
Top ranked by JJ (and they cook quite a lot)
That was all I had for today
I just love this kitchen
Next week I am going to talk about
how to make a small space feel larger
just like this
how do you achieve the coherence
how do you get your cramped 1 bedroom apartment to feel like a spacious loft?
what's the trick??
I am going to share my top tricks with you
so don't miss it..next friday!

mix of scandinavian and asian
