kitchen freestander ideas
Comments (6)@Lavalla - your project sounds fascinating. I'd love to know more and see what you're up to. I did a little more research and found some more links that might interest you when designing your "new" kitchen. This blog found old magazine clippings from kitchens in the early 1900's and compiled them here - fun inspiration: http://1912bungalow.com/2004/03/historical-kitchens/ Check out a few pages from this book, The New Bungalow Kitchen - some really interesting information about the history of the kitchen and great photos of newly renovated kitchens with that same feel. http://books.google.com/books?id=POHmo_Wg62gC&pg=PA29&lpg=PA29&dq=1920s+free+standing+kitchen&source=bl&ots=Eito3zQYBV&sig=vLmfrTG9SkJ10gIT8ev_jyTZWNs&hl=en&sa=X&ei=6rhZUcOWK8TmiwKhwIDAAw&ved=0CC0Q6AEwADgK#v=onepage&q=1920s%20free%20standing%20kitchen&f=false...See MoreKitchen splashback - need ideas!
Comments (2)Splashbacks are all about protecting the walls behind worktops, hobs and sinks from splashes. A splashback can make a small kitchen feel larger, and brighten any space. You can Choose splashbacks from plain mirror, antiqued finishes or colored versions. Pick good looking but easy care splashbacks. You can match splashbacks and worktops.

Comments (9)Yes, measurements would help. Thank you aldrea1 for other explanation, though. That helps too. It sounds like you are going into a total gut-job! I love this! Great opportunity for your creativity. Also, it looks like you have a petite sized stove. With total remodel you can upgrade to a standard size range. Is this part of your plan? Are you going to replace any appliances? It would be good for you to keep sink and stove in original locations. It is complicated to move the stove's exhaust fan and the sink's plumbing. Not impossible, but probably $$$$$$$ and a lot of hassle…. So, I would start planning with those items--stove and sink on current walls. Wherever you put your refrigerator, it would be best to be sure side view is hidden. If refrigerator stays in current position, you could make peninsula a little smaller, so wall on the right of kitchen entrance could extend further and hide refrigerator edge----Or, move refrigerator to another location… Not too far from sink and counters, though. That would cause you inconvenience. You want a work triangle with not that many steps in-between. Do you currently have a dishwasher? Or are you planning to add one? Not much creativity in placement of a dishwasher---needs to be near water source and drain.. Are you doing the work yourselves or hiring a contractor?...See Moretile and paint colour ideas on our kitchen remodel
