I wanted an island to separate the kitchen from the dining area. It would add table-top space to my small kitchen and provide me with additional storage place.
I also wanted a shelf by the side of the island to separate the kitchen wall from the huge mirror at the dining area.
I didn't want any hanging lights above the island table-top. Instead, I wanted a light above above the dining table.
He got a few other things wrong as well (The dining table, the decal on the mirror, the design of the cabinets).. but this was in essence how I wanted our open concept kitchen to be like - separated by an island and a shelf.
If I had a chance to redo my kitchen, I'd probably do it in a similar way.. never mind the small inconveniences of not being able to deep fry or cook strong smelling food in my kitchen.
Recently, I've been looking at some designs of kitchens that I like. In my next post(s), I'd share more.
Watch this space!
the plan looks so luxurios type of kitchen! Hope one day you will have your 'real' dream kitchen!
ReplyDeleteIt is a pretty kitchen in that drawing. Are you gonna redo your kitchen soon?
ReplyDeleteHehe. I probably have 10 different versions of my "dream" kitchen Malar. It's best to have one I like to work in and keep all the 10 in my dreams :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Petunia, that's the layout of my current place, with a bit of difference (less "glamorous" in real life) I'm not really redoing my kitchen anytime soon at all. Just looking for fun :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I can imagine how nice your real kitchen looks! The space in im apt is so limited, I can't think of any other way to redo the kitchen unless I open up the wall. But at the rate I am cooking, the entire house would be covered in oil if I have an open kitchen! Yikes.
ReplyDeleteTrue! Like tonight, after cooking the assam prawns, my place really smells!
