The Kitchen Makeover Journey Begins....

I hope to use this blog as inspiration on the journey. I don't know how long it will take, but here goes. :-)

Kitchen mission statement
  1. My kitchen is organized and easy to use. It is bright and uncluttered when I walk into it.
  2. I feel like I have a place for everything and I have enough counter space to cook, bake and store kitchen goodies.
  3. It looks up-to-date and timeless, contemporary yet traditional.

Guiding Principles
  • I know where everything is, everything has it’s place
  • I have room in the cupboards to store food stuff
  • I have room to store my kitchen appliances (two KitchenAids, ice cream maker, large soup pot, blender, mandoline, etc)
  • I have enough counter space for food prep and baking
  • I am able to display a handful of decorative pots, plates, bowls, etc
  • it feels uncluttered, open, bright and cheery (with accents of citrus yellow, green, orange)
  • it is well-lit, space to eat for 2
  • it maximizes space by using drawers on botton cabinets
  • it has easy to clean quartz counters

My starting point: a typical 1980's style kitchen. blech
