Kitchen elevations

Phil Godenschwager's sketches from my wish-lists. Try to picture this in color (I will add some photos of the colors).

This is the wall you will see directly ahead (just beyond the island) as you enter the dining room from the south porch. This is similar to the old kitchen except the stove/oven was not on this wall. To the left of this wall will be the hallway/bathroom entry. The kitchen sink is to the right...see 2nd elevation drawing below.

The stain on the cabinet bases will be dark (hopefully reminiscent of the 1920s kitchens and also the kitchen that was in Grampa Cooley's house when he had it from the 1960s). Light/white countertop as he also had in the old kitchen. Makes for a nice contrast.

The countertop will be just slightly off-white with a very subtle pattern. All white looks too plain and modern to me.

The backsplash will be a simple white wooden bead board. It will only go up to the bottom of the first shelf.

I won't have any upper cabinets. Just wooden shelves in the same stain as the base cabinets. Sort of like this though I am only have two shelves and spaced a little further apart from bottom to top-

Here is the kitchen elevation on the east wall. Picture the same dark base cabinets below, white countertop, white bead board back splash. The white sink is in the same place as it always was in the old house. The windows above the sink are also similar. All appliances will be white, not stainless steel.

The island doesn't show in this elevation version though it will be in a similar place to the half-wall that was in the old house. It will be 3' away from the dishwasher/sink area and stretch straight out to the west (or towards the front of this drawing) 5'6"long (x 3'6" wide).

Here's the floor plan again so you can orient yourself.
