La Cucina

Well that's it folks

 as promised here are a few pictures from this spring kitchen remodel.

 

It was tough felt like camping with six people-

 would I do it again?

 in a heartbeat.

 Amazing the first time in our lives to have a kitchen that functions and works with the way we live. Knocking down the wall between the kitchen and dining room making it one big space

priceless

 all the natural light streaming in is so wonderful.

 What you're not seeing is that we added ceiling solar tube over the kitchen counter-

another cool thing-

 I just started turning on the light as Montana goes into winter dark mode- the tubes let in so much light even on a dark day it feels good.

 I have SAD syndrome so any extra light is much appreciated-

the tubes were also at a relative low cost.

 

 Our kids love the breakfast bar and all the room around the counters and the island counter space- great to gather around with friends.

  the book shelf holds an assortment of cooking books.

 

I came home from New Mexico when the renno started

so I asked for a few beams to be added to our living room ceiling

 HUGE

difference- so cozy

 well worth it and I feel like a brought a little of Santa Fe to my home

 

I designed the kitchen with input from chef 
kept it simple and ergonomic so there was no need for a designer to get involved- money saved

Pierre picked the granite, reminds me of Norway-
 just love the simple grey with little specks of red garnet

 we are 100 % satisfied.

 If you are planning a kitchen remodel

 do it

 you won't regret it.
