A quick tour of the new kitchen Scrambled eggs, omlettes, pancakes, oatmeal, with a piping hot cup of coffee, now being served at 120 Queen St. Yup, the kitchen is done! This is the 3rd kitchen that we have tackled, and I think this will be the last. But I never say, "Never." This kitchen was a little over 100 square ft. so we had to maximize this space the best that we could. I will admit when the cabinets arrived in large boxes and sat waiting in the living room for 2 months, I lost some sleep. Not believing my measurements and carefully planned layout, I worried a bit. As we placed each cabinet in the kitchen it soon revealed that my instinct was pretty good. I wanted a place where we could gather, simple meals could be made and we could focus on the conversations and time spent together. I emphasized SIMPLE as my mantra for this room...I think we achieved that. I love the simple lines, uncomplicated layout, limited color palette, and basic materials used. Nothing fancy just utilizing the basics! It is simply a great kitchen re-do, if I do say so myself! (just a couple more accents for the walls and it is a wrap!) a look back at the old kitchen Special thanks:
