Monday I brought my parents from Callaway Gardens to see the house. The builder met us there and turns out the cabinet guy got there about the same time we did. So i quick looksie trip turned into a cabinet layout sesh. Joe, the builder, had called me about a kitchen he'd seen in Southern Living and wanted to see if the look of the cabinets was something I'd be interested in. We had chatted previously about symmetry and cabinets to the ceiling as well as not doing the standard microwave over the stove.
He showed me this:
um...yes please. :) This is the 2013 SL Idea house in Nashville. Love the lines and the layout of the upper cabinets and the symmetry of the whole space. We wont do this color and out island wont be this big but this is definitely the "inspiration" picture for the kitchen view from the great room.
Between Joe, Jimmy, myself and some input from my mom we got the island laid out and gave Jimmy enough info to get back to the shop and work up his plan. Drawers on the lowers, uppers to the ceiling, the boxy hood build out, 4 spots for barstools and a microwave you cant see unless you're standing in front of it..... Now I'm shopping for my apron front sink.... thinking about the light fixtures over the island and trying to figure what color those cabinets are going to be. The island will be red :)
Wednesday we met Kim to get some guidance on selecting the brick, stone and exterior colors. YAY! Its August! We have roughly 3 months til closing?! Sa-weeet!
