I’m a dreamer, always thinking of big plans for the future. One of my big dreams is to have a large open kitchen. I have a folder of hundreds of decor pictures I’ve saved over the past few years. This weekend I sorted through the pictures into specific folders, like pictures of kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms.
Josh and I always love talking about how we’ll remodel the kitchen someday. The great thing is that our kitchen right now is totally usable. So someday when we eventually can remodel it, we can do things to make it all kinds of awesome (not just make it functional). I started showing Josh my kitchen pictures this weekend so he drew up a layout in a free CAD program. He loves the technical, I love the details and pretty things.
I have a few things that I would like to see in my future kitchen. Some (like the white cabinets) are non-negotiable while others are hopeful suggestions.
-more windows and skylights
-breakfast nook
-island with cooktop
-white cabinets
-light wood floor
-large food storage pantry
-functional storage for specific kitchen items (ie. my KitchenAid)
-wide oven
It’s fun to dream with Josh about our future kitchen. I know that someday we’ll do it though it will most likely be many, many years from now. I see the look of determination in Josh’s eyes, mainly because he knows how much it would mean to me. Until that day I will close my eyes and imagine my large bright open kitchen and smile.
