I like the creative use of the wall/display cabinets.

I really like the juxtaposition of the two glass cabinets with the vase in the darker wood case...nice pace to the installation...

This is the key- using the standard IKEA forms in ways that make them utterly unique....

That's a beautiful kitchen...functional, pretty, warm and with a touch of funk.

Do you think those are 24" cabinets next to the range? The ones with the DRAWER FRONTS???!! They look a bit small to be 30", and the range is smaller than a 30" American one...could it be??!

The recognition info. indicates that she's from Great Britain, which would explain the smaller appliances. It sure looks like 24" base cabinets next to the range. Love the wood countertops!

I just went to Ikea Covina, CA and was thrilled with the displays they had up. I took LOTS of pictures and have them hosted on flickr, but I don't totally understand the image posting here yet. It looks like I'm filling up my "quota", even though I pay to have my images hosted on flickr. So here are links instead.


Interesting innovations:

Multiple doors layered vertically on base cabinets:
Liljestad
Adel Birch


Doors used as end/side panels:
duvbo
Liljestad, under bar
Liljestad, fridge side

Blind corner cabinet, with half/shelf
Numerar countertop, cut into curve

A-HA!! Figured out how to add the images in, just doing one to keep it short.

I'm planning to use doors instead of cover panels for the back of my peninsula. I think it looks great!

I found this link on Susan Jablon mosaics website: http://www.vintagemodernhomes.com/forsale.htm

I like the use of Lack floating shelves in the kitchen, and this shows some Holliviken sinks (and I think there's an Ikea vanity).

If I lived where houses were this affordable, I think I'd quit my job and be a flipper!

Oooh, very cool! I love the pond and the front door. Not so sure about the corner susans in that setting, it kind of looks like they'd interfere with the range. I do like how they used filler as a design element.

Kathy, you can come live next to us. Houses around here that top 100K are rare. Not for long, though...

Susan: You can get a house like that for $100,000? That's unbelievable!! Our area is typically known for moderate pricing, but that's incredible. Our house is a 1,875 sf. ranch with a full finished basement, little over 1/3 of an acre, 3 BR/2 bath and it would probably go for about $210-215k in the condition it's in now (aged decor). I'm hoping by adding hardwood floors and new kitchen and baths that it will increase in value.
