Central Kentucky Log Cabin Primitive Kitchen

Kentucky Log Cabin Primitive Kitchen This was a project in Central Kentucky. The owner was a doctor and this was his pet project, so there was no real time frame or budget so the detail is incredible. He scoured the country side for parts and pieces, and had some local talented craftsmen, help him put it all together. It is an awesome project inside and out.

To Whom It May Concern: I just had my kitchen redone. However, I truly believe that even the wonderfully creative people at houzz.com could not have done what my genius contractor did. PLEASE continue to read this and be astounded! I have lived in a condo with the smallest three-drawer (!) kitchen for sixteen years. I now am the proud owner of a 21 (!!!!!) drawer kitchen! Let me (I hope!) entertain you..... IMG_3111-1.jpg These are the two main cabinets with shelving in between. Under each cabinet is a drawer and beside each cabinet is a pull-out small pantry. IMG_3112-1.jpg This is the farmhouse sink with two LARGE, DEEP drawers below that allow space for the garbage disposal and other sink plumbing. There are five drawers of varying sizes next to these drawers. In addition, next to the dishwasher and the set of five drawers are two more small pull-out pantries. Under the sink and drawers, three inches of space were left to house a stepstool since I am shorter than he thought. IMG_3113-1.jpg Above the refrigerator are six large pantry drawers that pull out a full 29 inches. Each drawer has shelves of different heights to accommodate different food items such as cereal boxes, liquour bottles (strictly for cooking, you understand), canned goods, etc. On the left side of the refrigerator is a tall pull- out pantry for dry goods such as pasta, rice, flour, etc. IMG_3114-1.jpg As you can see here, there is a cabinet above the stove with four shelves total for storage. I use it for cake pans, tagines and other cooking items. You can also view one of the pull- out pantry drawers above the frig. IMG_3115-1.jpg Here you are able to view another cabinet with three shelves that I use for canned goods which are stored on double-stacked turntables. Below this cabinet is another drawer and beside the cabinet is another pull-out pantry. IMG_3116-1.jpg Below the counter are four more drawers of varying sizes which I use for cooking utensils and pots and pans (and of course, the top drawer is the always-needed junk drawer). The drawers all pull out a full 25 inches. IMG_3117-1.jpg This is an old rolling island which he cut in half, inserted a HUGE drawer (for my canisters of flour, sugars, cornstarch, etc. and my rolling pins, mandoline, hand-held mixer and other baking utensils), and then built a shelf for the lesser-used electrics such as a juicer and ice cream maker. The main shelf of the island is, of course, for storing my kitchen aid mixer and and the cuisinart...they never have to move from where they are!!!!! He threw a removable top shelf on for decorative items. The island is on wheels. IMG_3118-1.jpg IMG_3119-1.jpg The next two pictures show the other half of the above- mentioned island with the original small drawers. The entire thing is on wheels so that it can roll should I need to open the pots and pans drawers the full 25 inches. By the way, the tile counter above the movable island also moves (!) out toward the dining room if I should happen to need more space in the kitchen. IMG_3120-1.jpg IMG_3121.jpg This picture and the one below show the small pantries on either side of the cabinets and drawers pulled out. They extend a full 17 inches and have three to four shelves each. IMG_3122-1.jpg This last photo shows (poorly, I admit) the three lighting fixtures he installed to replace my ONE and only light I had before. So...this is my new kitchen in the smallest area ever made for a kitchen. It is incredibly easy to cook in and cleaning up seems to be a breeze (maybe because it’s new and beautiful). Now, the most remarkable information about this kitchen is that the contractor built it in his garage, brought it to my condo (11/2 hours away) and EVERYTHING fit perfectly! In my (humble) opinion, this kitchen could be a model for your ‘space-saving’ design ideas that you regularly publish. What do you think? Thanks for allowing me to show-off.

Cambronne St Residence

Volume Zero, LLC [architectural design studio]

This project is the renovation of an old Craftsman style single shotgun house. We removed the wall between the kitchen and dining room to open up the space. To hide possible clutter in the Kitchen, we designed and fabricated a low wall between the two spaces, using pre-finished wood flooring as the wall finish on the Dining side of the wall and ceramic pool tiles as the backsplash. We designed and fabricated custom concrete countertops. To enhance the airiness of the spaces, we removed the existing suspended ceiling to expose the high ceilings. We rehabilitated the large old wood windows and installed lightweight cafe curtains throughout the house to capture natural daylighting. photo: Volume Zero LLC

Bright, fun, one of a kind kitchen designed by Pat Caulfield and Marc Goodwin. My client, who loves all things pink, requested a pink kitchen. Not formica, but an anigre stained wood in the color she selected. Lift doors, pull out trays, spice storage and multiple countertop levels lets this lively cook give demonstations and entertain in a space that is sure to start a conversation.

Eclectic Red Kitchen Design Ideas

There’s a lot to consider when it comes to planning your kitchen design. Where do you even start? Gathering some inspiration in a photo gallery is always a good starting point, as looking at different kitchen designs often brings up ideas you haven’t even thought of yet.

Browse Photos of Kitchen Designs for Inspiration and Collect Your Ideas

You can browse through photos of all kinds of kitchen styles, layouts and sizes on Houzz to get started before jumping into any design software or contacting a local professional for help. Here’s a few considerations to keep in mind when planning your kitchen.

1. What Makes a Good Eclectic Kitchen Design, and Why is it Important?

For starters, you want to find a balance between aesthetics and function. You may have heard of the ‘kitchen work triangle’, which refers to the space between your fridge, sink and stove. You want everything within easy reach when you’re working in the kitchen and look beautiful at the same time. It’s a good idea to take note of both when browsing our photo gallery.

2. Consider Your Space to Determine Your Kitchen Layout

Firstly, consider the space you have, and the limitations that come with it. Do you have a small kitchen and need to maximise your workspace and storage? Can you allow yourself some more space and a big island with seating? Are you designing your kitchen from scratch or renovating an existing design? Which appliances do you already own and what are their measurements? Are there windows you need to take into consideration when planning cabinets? How do kitchen, living and dining areas connect? Depending on your space and needs, you want to use a shape that suits you. U, G, or L-shaped kitchen, with or without island or peninsula? Know your dimensions, plan cabinetry carefully and consider the placement of your appliances. You don’t want to end up with a finished design, only for your significant other to question where the fridge is supposed to go. Consider from the start where your fridge, oven, microwave and sink goes to save yourself from starting again from scratch - remember the kitchen work triangle! You also want to plan the layout of your cabinets. Maybe you’re planning for a pantry and can do with less storage space in your kitchen, so that your design can be one without upper or lower cabinets for a different look. A corner cabinet can be a smart storage solution if you want to keep the look clean and simple.

3. Decide on a Kitchen Style, But Don’t Forget Practicality

You want the style of your kitchen to reflect your personality and taste. We have curated a large array of kitchen styles here at Houzz, from traditional to contemporary to transitional and everything in between. Consider what your cooking style is for a start - Italy is known for its cuisine, so italian kitchen designs are generally popular. Also consider ergonomics - depending on how much time you spend in your kitchen, the height of your counters can make a big difference to your overall health. You also want to consider colour and finishes of cabinets, countertops and splashbacks. Which colour do you want your cupboards to be? Simple, timeless white or rather making a statement in black? Maybe rather a rustic wood? Also consider the colour of your floor - if you have dark floors, you may want to keep cabinets lighter. You could also go for an all-white look and choose black appliances for contrast. Once you know which style you fancy, don’t forget how you will be using the space. You want to keep cooking in mind, as well as how easy to clean and maintain the space will be. How many cooks do you need to accommodate? Do you have kids around? How much storage do you need? Maybe you want to go for open shelves rather than cabinets and allow for easy reach of key items you use when cooking. Again - remember the triangle! Lastly, choose lighting that both enhances the look of your kitchen as well as your cooking performance, providing light in all the right places.

4. Be Conscious of Your Budget

No matter what you plan for your kitchen design, cost is always a big factor. Be sure to plan with your budget in mind. It may make more sense to go for a modular kitchen design rather than custom build. You can save a lot of money if you get at least 3 estimates from professionals before locking in the job. And don’t forget to allow a 20% buffer for emergencies. Once you are ready to hire a pro, our directory will help you find one, no matter where you are. So whether you're looking for an Interior Designer in Melbourne or an Architect in Sydney, you can be sure to find a qualified expert for the job!
