Our Classic White Kitchen Blueprint | Marble Countertops, Woods Isle Top, Brass Pulls & Lanterns
I've been pregnant to write this post since nosotros moved into our novel kitchen terminal summer. Sorry : ) I oftentimes larn emails bespeak nearly the details of our blueprint in addition to I idea it would live easier if I had ane prissy post to straight everyone amongst questions. When nosotros were designing the kitchen (and the residual of the house), I recollect existence really overwhelmed past times all of the decisions to live made. All of the decisions. We oftentimes hold off around at our kitchen similar a shot in addition to say, at that spot were in all probability ane G decisions made inward this ane room.
Thankfully, I don't direct hold any regrets when it comes to our kitchen (or the residual of the house). I'm glad nosotros splurged where nosotros did, in addition to I'm glad nosotros saved where nosotros could. I absolutely dear this kitchen. I dear that the finishes are polished plenty to experience elegant, but the warmth makes it experience fiddling country-cottagey, too. It is a breeze to piece of occupation inward efficiently. It feels cozy on a Dominicus morning, but is large in addition to opened upwardly plenty to grip a large party, too. While the entire kitchen is "white on white" nosotros added warmth through the creamy pigment color (Navajo White), brass, marble in addition to warm woods isle hand to larn inward experience homey in addition to warm.
All of the resources are listed at the cease of the post. I tried to include everything, but I'm certain I left something out. Let me know if I missed something!
Take a tour of our entire trouble solid (in progress...) here.
This was the master copy programme for how I would organize my kitchen. I posted it here amongst to a greater extent than details on the layout in addition to cabinetry design. You volition run into every bit I larn through the post, it changed a flake when nosotros unpacked in addition to every bit nosotros kicking the bucket along to alive in addition to piece of occupation inward the space.
This is the baking corner that looks to the backyard. Most of my photos for the weblog in addition to store are taken correct here. The dorsum porch overhang is the perfect filter for pretty lite through these windows. Not exclusively is cooking inward this kitchen delightful, but working hither is therefore much easier in addition to to a greater extent than natural. I used to direct hold to phase nutrient in addition to production photos inward other parts of the house. Now it is a much to a greater extent than natural procedure for me to live able to direct hold pretty photos every bit I larn without having to alter locations.
This is the layout of the kitchen, every bit drawn past times the cabinetry designer. This tin live helpful if you lot are looking for measurements for scale.

Bread Board Collection
Charging DrawerI dear this charging drawer! In every trouble solid nosotros lived inward before, nosotros had a countertop dedicated to charging... in addition to things only cease upwardly piling upwardly inward that spot - mail, keys, junk. This drawer only gave all of those things a place. So, instead of planning for the ipad to direct hold a spot on the counter to charge, nosotros planned for a spot that would set away - charging.
We accuse the ipads, the wireless speaker in addition to my iphone. Of course, it is also a identify for keys, lip gloss, sunglasses, tablets in addition to pens. Of course of written report this drawer doesn't ever hold off similar this. There is ever a needed purge nearly ane time every season. I tend to set it off, but when I practise it takes five minutes in addition to I experience therefore much better.
This is what the dorsum of the drawer looks like. We had our electrician hardwire an outlet in addition to powerstrip inward the dorsum of the drawer. So much meliorate than this tangle of cords on hand of the counter. We never opened upwardly the drawer all of the way out, therefore nosotros never run into this cord mess unless nosotros demand to ; )
Baking Counter
This corner of the kitchen works therefore good for me. I dear that it is a dyad of steps away from the residual of the kitchen. It gives me therefore much room to stretch out in addition to larn messy, in addition to everything I demand for baking is within arms reach.
Our kitchen wouldn't live consummate without Emma's chair close past times that she uses to stand upwardly in addition to help. It comes inward handy for me, too, when I demand to attain to a hand shelf. When nosotros moved inward the house, I bought a laid of unfinished childrens chairs in addition to a table, in addition to therefore applied the destination myself.
Left to correct : Kitchen Aid attachments, Copper Biscuit Cutter, Petite & Small Paper Tart Pans, Rubber Spatulas, measuring cups, Brown & White Cupcake Papers, Jumbo Pastry Tips, Scoops in addition to Disposable Pastry Bags.
These are my favorite Large Disposable Piping Bags to set muffin batter in. I larn inward ahead of fourth dimension in addition to maintain them inward the freezer.
All of these items direct hold latterly been restocked inward my store (found in Baking Supplies) this week.
The Baking Sheets & Parchment Paper are stored vertically, hither to the left of the baking counter. This photograph was taken earlier I added the natural parchment newspaper to my store.

On the correct side of the baking counter, is the expanse for the modest appliances. Originally, I idea I would piece of occupation inward the kitchen in addition to maintain a printer in addition to files here, but since I've relocated my business office to the mudroom, this expanse opened up. I truly can't imagine working inward the kitchen similar a shot - non certain what I was thinking! I think earlier I had ever only perched at the counter amongst my laptop in addition to sipped java spell I worked all day. I was therefore used to non having a proper infinite to piece of occupation that I couldn't imagine existence anywhere else. You tin run into what my business office infinite inward the mudroom looks like, here.
As you lot tin run into at the cease of the baking counter is our java in addition to tea station. Above, inward the drinking glass front, are the java cups, below the java in addition to tea is kept inward the drawer. You tin run into into the mudroom/my business office infinite through the dutch door. We exclusively installed the bottom of the dutch door to locomote out the hand open. Mr. Darcy has a doggy door inward the mudroom to the dorsum yard, so, if it is muddy, in addition to therefore I unopen the dutch door therefore he tin come upwardly inward from the backyard to nutrient in addition to water, but can't rails mud all over the house...
This photograph was taken a dyad of weeks ago. You powerfulness notice inward the photograph at the top, that Mr. Darcy has since had a haircut ; )

We were certain to direct hold the inward a higher identify cabinetry at a specific pinnacle therefore that nosotros could opened upwardly the hand of the kuerig machine - which was non the illustration inward our terminal kitchen. We ever had to movement it out from underneath the cabinet for it to work.

Kitchen Bottles :
About my Everyday Essential Bottles Collection :
Half of you lot are going to think I am crazy (you direct hold besides much fourth dimension on your hands, blah, blah...). The other one-half are going to tell - "Yes! This is what I've been looking for!" only similar me. I have always wanted clean, fresh bottles amongst build clean fresh labels for every unmarried bottle inward my house. Like most things, I idea if I desire it, at that spot is probable a grouping (of you!) out at that spot that are on the same page.
It took me nearly xx minutes to fill upwardly all of the bottles from my collections (Kitchen, Cleaning, Laundry & Bath in addition to Shower) in addition to it was so gratifying to larn rid of all of those brightly colored, tacky bottles designed to pick out direct hold of your attending inward the Target aisle. Now, when I hold off nether the sink, or inward my shower, or inward my laundry room I am no longer confronted amongst those red, black, green, orangish in addition to brilliant blueish labels, but these soothing build clean bottles. Everything already feels to a greater extent than organized. They tin also assistance us cut our footprint past times buying inward mass (less packaging to recycle) in addition to buying inward mass way running less errands... something I detest. Have I convinced you lot yet? You know you lot volition dear them.
I designed the packaging to live subtle in addition to classic - no brilliant colors or distracting labels to direct hold away from your beautiful kitchen. These bottles come upwardly banking concern in addition to empty, ready to live labeled (included) in addition to filled amongst your favorite products.
Piles of Tea Towels kept inward the drawer to the left.
We direct hold a modest microwave inserted into a cubby that has an outlet. I truly don't similar microwaves, therefore I didn't desire to pass whatever $ on a super prissy ane or give it much of a priority inward our kitchen, therefore this worked perfectly. Bonus, Emma thinks it is her ain personal oven, since she tin attain it easily.
Below, I maintain our to-go cups. We direct hold Clear Cups & Lids (50 for $12) in addition to Straws for smoothies or H2O togo (instead of bottled) in addition to nosotros direct hold White Paper Cups in addition to Lids (50 for $12) for coffee, cider in addition to hot chocolate every bit nosotros caput out the door.
In the drawer inward a higher identify the cups, I maintain Emma's plates in addition to bowls for snacks. I similar that it is at her story therefore she tin assistance herself - it makes her experience to a greater extent than independent.
The Brass Lanterns are from Cape Cod Lantern Co. You powerfulness recollect nosotros installed a larger version inward our sometime dinning room (that similar a shot hangs inward our bedroom). It is called the Concord Lantern in addition to is made past times mitt inward Cape Cod. We bought it correct afterwards nosotros moved dorsum from Concord, Mass to pick out a fiddling slice of our New England journeying into our novel domicile (especially appropriate, every bit it is a Cape Cod way house... only inward Kansas!).
You tin read to a greater extent than nearly our lighting decisions for the residual of the house, here.
I was really specific amongst our cabinetry designer that I wanted the crown mouldings to wrap around the entire room. I wanted the kitchen to experience built into the room, non added or separate. We had to programme extensively for this, making decisions on the mouldings earlier the cabinets were built to brand certain at that spot was room to fit the 10" crown handling that wraps the walls, cabinets in addition to the beams. I think slap-up millwork details are truly what makes our kitchen experience completely custom. We included a Furniture Base Trim at the base of operations of the cabinets, which is dissimilar from a typical opened upwardly toe kick. Again, makes the kitchen experience to a greater extent than built-in in addition to finished.
Backsplash & Bracket Details :
The backsplash on the counter expanse is painted wooden beadboard, spell it is os underground tile behind the range. We direct hold wooden brackets accenting the cabinetry around the range, also, which adds to the "country kitchen" feel.
Inset Cabinetry : We chose to upgrade to inset cabinetry (about a 15% increase) because it turns out every unmarried photograph I had pinned had inset cabinetry. It was a fairly pricey upgrade, considering it didn't truly add together whatever function, but it was the "look" I was going for. You tin read nearly the decision making procedure here, every bit I debated inset versus overlay. I'm glad nosotros chose inset for the kitchen (and our primary vanity, nosotros used overlay inward the mudroom to save) because it truly adds to the finished hold off of our kitchen in addition to the "old fashioned" "built-in" in addition to "original" hold off nosotros were trying to achieve.
To the correct of the stove, I maintain all of my wooden cooking utensils inward a white pitcher. I also maintain this handbasket amongst linen tea towels in addition to fresh fruit.
To the left of the stove, nosotros maintain the knives, modest bowl of seas bounding main tabular array salt in addition to pouring dispenser of olive oil, for slow access spell cooking.Handled Tray in addition to Maple Cheese Tray, hither >
Below this expanse (next to the refrigerator in addition to across from the dishwasher for convenience), I maintain our storage containers. These are a lifesaver. They maintain this expanse therefore organized in addition to neat. The drinking glass are used for leftovers - slap-up for reheating inward the microwave. The plastic containers larn everything from freezer items, fresh fruit to grated parmesan cheese or a homemade vinaigrette.
Below the kitchen utensils, the pots in addition to pans. Are you lot suprised to run into that I exclusively ain 6 pots in addition to pans? (Besides the Staub dutch oven I maintain on the stovetop.) We registered for this laid of All-Clad for our marriage ceremony in addition to direct hold never needed some other pan yet. The exclusively affair I've added is a cast atomic issue 26 skillet. I am a large advocate of pairing downwards your kitchen to the essentials - it makes existence inward the kitchen therefore much easier if you lot don't direct hold to dig around for what you lot need.
And above, the spice cabinet... it never looks this neat, unfortunately : )
Now for my favorite. I dear this expanse of our kitchen!
This is the hutch that holds all of the pretties in addition to everything nosotros demand to laid the table. It is also conveniently located across the way from the dishwasher for slow unloading.
These long apartment drawers concur all of our flatware in addition to linens.
I dear collecting, mixing in addition to matching flatware. The laid to left is a silvery plate laid nosotros received for our wedding. The service laid adjacent to that amongst the wooden serving spoons in addition to knives are antique, in addition to were an sometime household unit of measurement friends'. The Laguiole Ivory Handles are available, here. The laid all the way to the correct is a basic laid from Pottery Barn - perhaps their catering set? In total, nosotros direct hold plenty to practise total identify settings for 20. And then, the linens... my favorite part.
Since I direct hold novel linen collections inward my store every season, I've amassed quite a collection...
Shop the Linen Collection, here >
These are the napkins that nosotros utilisation for dinner every night. They aren't ever ironed, though ; )
My newest favorite are inward a higher identify (all the way to the left), the Olive Block Print Napkins, iv for $32. They are going to live perfect for household unit of measurement dinners this fall.
We maintain all of our dishes, china, platters in addition to spectacles inward this cabinet. It is therefore slap-up to direct hold everything for setting the table, only across from the dining table. It is helpful that it is non inward straight catamenia amongst the kitchen, therefore when I am cooking, Emma in addition to Mike tin laid the tabular array without crossing my path... also really helpful when entertaining.
We direct hold all basic white plates in addition to bowls, amongst a dyad of additions of some H2O ice cream bowls that Emma likes.

During the summertime, I similar our lives to stand upwardly yet in addition to away from the residual of the world. I think of that quintessential summertime cottage that sits at the cease of a shady lane somewhere, perhaps adjacent to the water, that is removed from time. I think of bare feet inward the grass playing nether the cherry tree, the olfactory belongings of fresh laundry, lush greenish backyards amongst rose-scented air, over-stuffed beds amongst crisp white sheets layered amongst modest impress linens, ho-hum mornings spent piddling inward the kitchen in addition to tardily sunset dinners on the patio.
The Garden Home Collection feels similar this to me. It is a classic combination of blues in addition to greens amongst hints of lilac in addition to peony pink.
