Once upon a time there was a naive couple that was trying to find the kitchen of their dreams. They thought they liked cherry veneer. Very modern and sleek looking.
Then they were told veneers were very expensive and so they maybe they could be happy with shaker style. But they feared the kitchen would be overrun with woodtones from the floor to the ceiling...
So what about they add some color and make the woods two toned? The kitchen below really spoke to the wife. She could see her West Elm Modernist bowls (that she had already bought) sitting on the floating shelves.
Their hopes were dashed into a million pieces when they got the bid back and the two toned, cherry kitchen was twice the cost of the shaker. Noooooo!
How about a white kitchen? Those can be pretty pricey too, since they are a lot more labor intensive. But they might be willing to pay. The white kitchen above is a little too sterile and cold, but kind of cool.
This kitchen is a little warmer, but not sure about the gray. The wife was loving the dropped wood table around the island... but was told that her 5 kids "wood" really scratch it up.
This kitchen seems just right! It is the HGTV 2012 Dream Home in Park City. HGTV describes the home as Modern Rustic... sounds just like Mountain Modern to me. This might work. The couple quick grabbed their plans and headed to the nearest Wellborn Cabinet distributor who will give them the bid on Monday. Hope it's in their budget. To be continued...
Oh, here are more pics of the HGTV kitchen if you are interested...
Not loving the backsplash... so that will need some work.
What do you think of the open shelving under the cooktop? It might be fun. And the floors are amazing too. They are Bellawood Select Brazilian Chestnut.
