Designing My Modern Farmhouse Kitchen

One question that I have been asked often is where did I get my decorating ideas and inspiration for my kitchen?

So I thought today I would explain how I went about designing our kitchen.

FLOOR PLAN

This is the kitchen area of our open floor plan.

I designed my cabinets around the shape of the wall area, deciding on appliance positions.  

I knew I wanted the sink under the window and for ease of loading the dishwasher and installing plumbing, I put it next to the sink.  

I put the stove and refrigerator on the left wall of the sink. 

With the door to the outside screened in porch on the right wall of the kitchen, I was limited to where the range and refrigerator would fit and would look most appealing

Also, I wanted to keep the flow of the kitchen functional.

My go-to source for beautiful home inspiration, no matter what room is HOUZZ.com

With so many options it can be very overwhelming when designing a room/home.

One thing I knew when I was first started designing my kitchen I wanted a big island and  I wanted white cabinets……so I begin to look at all the beautiful kitchen room photos on Houzz.

INSPIRATION 

Perusing the beautiful kitchen layouts and options helped so much when it came time to select my own.

I knew what I liked and options that I wanted.

I created Idea Books on Houzz for each room of my home.  

That way I could easily pull up the saved photos and ideas when needed.

DETAILS OF THE KITCHEN

The shaker style cabinets remained one of my favorite styles of cabinets throughout all my researching during the designing phase of my kitchen.

HOW IT LOOKS

Let’s look at a few photos from my kitchen.

Simple and welcome feel. 

You might notice that I added a faux brick backsplash to the counters.  For details go here.

So as you see from the photos, I pulled ideas from different designs and developed my own unique style for my modern farmhouse kitchen
