Today I received (& paid for, so I can pop them up now) some of the 3-D pictures of the kitchen (it is still missing the fireplace wall) so thought I’d pop them up. Click the images for larger versions. Sorry for the quality – they didn’t scan all that well.
First picture shows the kitchen as if we were standing with our backs to the fireplace.
The second is skewed a bit to show the small wall by the door – the cupboard under the bookshelf holds the fridge.
It’s a shame I don’t have the fireplace wall mock-up as that will be totally lovely.
I have three blind corners in this setup – two will have LeMans units in them, the other will have a super lazy susan kind of contraption.
Here is a plan of the kitchen and walk-in pantry – click for big detailed version.
Cost is … horrifying! I’ll have to sell the cats!
The entire design and all the hard work is by Lenka Jankovcova of Find and Design. Thanks Lenka!
Looks absolutely magnificent!
I am so jealous what a wonderful cooker and kitchen….
Looks lovely Sara, you wont know yourself!!
It looks great, Sara, so light and bright and sunny! And that stove! Wonderful! I am a bit concerned about the sink, tho’. Do you have somewhere else you’ll be able to wash pots and pans, large bowls, etc?
Hi Sara,
This looks fantastic!!!
Great! The buttler’s sink is a great feature along with the stove. The bench top tiles look great – are they marble?
Thanks for the comments. 🙂 The bench top hasn’t come out well in the pictures – it isn’t tile (I’ve had tiled bench tops before and never ever again) but it will be a solid, moulded composite material – looks a little like composite stone with flecks and quartz all through it. Hard to explain. A picture once installed will be worth a thousand words. It is very kind to glassware etc, much kinder than granite, and is almost ‘warm’ to the touch. I love the stuff.
The sink? What’s wrong with the sink? LOL It is a great sink – massive, above three times the size of the normal sink you get in a kitchen. It will take all of my huge pots and pans, which is why I wanted it. I had one in my last kitchen and loved it to pieces.
Looks absolutely fabulous Sara – now I want one!
I agree about the sink! It’s … odd. I guess it does fit in with the French provincial theme – which by the way, I’m convinced you have stolen from me Sara. It’s not fair. Just cos you’ve got cats to sell doesn’t mean you can build MY dream kitchen in YOUR house!
A note on the oven as well – my partner’s parents have something very similar which they found at a country yard auction for $600. I know how much they cost brand new and oh.my.goodnesses.
The sink! Obviously looks smaller in the picture (to me, anyway) than it really is! There’s absolutely nothing wrong with it, then. It looks great.
The sink looks odd because instead of being centred right in the middle of the benchtop it is set into it so that you see its face – that is the traditional way of setting these heavy porcelain sinks which need to sit on a frame rather than be ’suspended’ so to speak. They are totally amazing sinks – once you have used one you never want to go back to more modern sinks – absolutely huge (you can wash a dog in them easily) and, speaking of pets, because they retain the heat for hours the cats love to curl up in them and sleep! I’m about to write another post so will put in a picture there of one of the cats curled up in one.
They weigh a ton – this one weighs about 50 kilo (110 pounds) and it is the baby of the range.
Well I love the sink ..and the rest of it ..esp the secret special cupboards and the hidey fridge…grin ..
So how long until they can start??
And do you wanna get me one too??
Wow! Great images! Once it’s done, you won’t want to leave it!
*Sigh* What a stunning kitchen. My beautiful kitchen will never compare with your gorgeous plans – but I love my black granite bench top, so will have to put up with fewer glasses than you. Your bench top sounds like Corian… the one Geoff Jantz was promoting (just after we ordered our kitchen) 5 years ago.
Oh, and I reckon you should keep the kitties. Unless you are breeding furiously, just make installment payments.
Of course, if they need threatening due to misdemeanours….
Enjoy! It’s hell going through the renovation, but it’s wonderful when you finally move things in!
I really want a kitchen like this, when is this getting done? I bet you can’t wait for it to be completed.
