Not the colors we want but close to our thinking about best combination of field lino and border lino. Border around cabinets and/or island. think that there are premade border tiles

Q

like this color combination of cream/almond ceiling (tin) and trim, with sage green cabinets. Like the photo in Cathy's ideabook that has a combination of soap stone counters and a wood (unpainted) island. But still line butcher block counters as well - combination of stone and wood somehow?

Q

a better organized space for S & C's dishes? Not in island, but along pantry wall some how?

Q

need space for several large items (crock pots, food processor, etc)

Q

pans and lids organized

Q

need to accommodate casserole dishes, mixing bowls and every day dishes

Q

like the dish towels close to sink

Q

suggestion to take a picture of current items when thinking about how to stores them - prep utensils in a separate space from flatware?

Q

different way to store flatware?

Q

utensils and oils regularly used off the counter?

Q

utensils off the top of the counter?

Q

microwave and spices/etc on the counter in kitchen, behind a cabinet door, move less used glassware and dessert bowls to the pantry on other side of kitchen?

Q

open shelving in the true corner space with cabinet to the side (each side?)

Q

inside hardware that makes items in the corner more accessible than a lazy susan?

Q

better way to organize pots/pans/pot holders close to stove? Can also be the space for dish towels as well?

Q

idea for better trivet storage?

Q

lesser used items (baking trays and pans) stored higher up

Q

Mark unsure of pull out shelves vs drawers under cabinets - maybe just the current IKEA ones are not of quality?

Q

example - concept of self risers in a bookshelf, similar to the spices

Q

like this style of drawers and open shelves (glass fronted for kitty proofing?), but with a small counter/ledge? Some pull out drawers, some shelving all the way up?

Q

want ability to store stools under island

Q

appliance cubby hole, "garage'? best use of corner?

Q

every day set of dished needs to be accessible and easy to reach, other sets can be organized better, but still stored higher

Q

still want garbage and recycling bins - can use current bins and hardware inside island?

Q

want all cleaning supplies organized well under the sink - better organized back up items on shelving in basement would minimize clutter
