Modern Cottage Kitchen

True Identity Concepts
by True Identity Concepts
A small kitchen gets a modern update that enhance storage and accessories for a more functional space.
White, full overlay cabinetry with 42" upper cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and appliance garage to keep the counter free for prep.
Simple white stools with Spoonflower custom fabric are added for a bit of whimsey to the modern cottage styling of the kitchen. Beadboard end panel and a Cambria quartz countertop for ease of cleaning.
Glass cabinets flank the sink with beadboard backing and a fixed, relaxed roman blind with a pop of the client's favorite colour add sophistication to the view.
A taupe subway tile with a crackle finish keep the space fresh and modern, while the upper cabinet is finished with a skin to hide the wiring for the undercabinet task lighting.
Accessory drawer, trash pullouts, corner lazy susans, and a magnetic pantry door insert keep items organized and easily accessible.
The before kitchen may have been in fashion at the time, but it was definitely in need of an update.
In preping the kitchen space, guess what we found behind the drywall? Yep, a window that was not in the plan. Good thing we had a contigency plan.

    i have those same stools, and i did the same thing, but they are too high...noone can sit at my island...did you cut yours down, and if so, how did you do it? i read that you have to be careful with these stools...they have to be done a certain way....

      @Penny The client's stools are shorter 24"-26" to accommodate the 36"H countertop. It appears that your stools may be a bar stool height of 30"H to accommodate a 40"-42"H countertop. Therefore, they were not cut down to fit but carefully selected so the seating height left plenty of leg room.
