With the hanging of pendant lights, the remodel of our 1964 ranch’s kitchen is complete! Basic footprint retained, though new bank of high gloss white cabinets added. the old honeyoak cabinets from the 1980s were professionally refaced, and painted. New floors, new white quartz tops, custom Bluestar range and vent. I’m in love with the Kartell Fly pendants!

Comments (25)~ "Love your drawer organizers. May I ask where you purchased them? " I actually found those at Lowes for $23 each. A very happy find. ~ "How wide are your pots and pans drawers? Do you have two, or more? Are you able to fit everything comfortably?" There is a 24" drawer unit to the left of the range and a 21" unit on the right. All four of the lower drawers are used for pots and smaller pans and the top two drawers store my cooking utensils (spatulas, ladles, spoons, etc.) The actually drawers hold an impressive amount of cookware. Right now I have in them: 1 - 4qt saute pan 3 - 3qt saucepans 2 - 3.5qt saucepans 2 - 2 qt saucepans 1 - 1.5 qt saucepan 1 - 2 qt saucier 1 - 1 qt saucepan 1 - 8" skillet 2 - 3qt steamer inserts 2 - nonstick skillets ... and the lids for all of them. The only pans which don't fit in those drawers are my large skillets, large stockpots (12 & 16 qt) and the wok. The skillets are hanging on those hooks set up off to the right of the range and the stockpots & wok I keep stored under the island (as they are used less frequently)....See MoreOur small kitchen DIY remodel is almost completed (before and aft
Comments (42)Boy, I'm not sure how I got a double post there a half hour later, oh well. alex9179 - Good luck with your ceiling. I'm really happy with how our ceiling turned out. Compared to doing drywall, it was more expensive. But, it really ended up being a lot easier and quicker than what dry wall would have been. All those coats of mud standing on a ladder doesn't sound like fun at all. jeannie_kitchen - I do give a little smile every time I walk in there now. My DW was just commenting the other day that she really likes to just sort of hang out in the kitchen now....See MoreHow to respond to social backlash aimed at your mid mod aesthestic? R
Comments (70)I can somewhat relate to the article linked because where we live nothing modern exists (now-modern or MCM) unless you build it yourself. We bought a 1959 MCM/ranch that was remodeled and added to at least three times and started rebuilding. Our choices of random color slate flooring in the entry hall and grasscloth wallpaper for the formal living room were a bit confusing to people we know since the prevailing style in the region is southeastern or new-but-old looking (distressed?). Our kitchen and family room are more now-modern since we wanted a new kitchen to use and the family room is an a ~2002 addition. The two bathrooms and the dining room and den in the original parts of the house will be even more confusing because the goal is to make them basically look like the place was built that way. Bathroom #1 will be ming green, bathroom #2 will probably be blue, and details are still TBD for the other two rooms. Nobody has been critical anyway, just a bit surprised. However, none of it will be authentic to the house. Bathroom #1 was taupe, bathroom #2 was bright yellow with a built in hamper and a corner of the room used for an air handler that is long gone, the dining room has yellow/beige VAT under '70s linoleum (under a floor that was raised 1'!) and the den was a large 1 car garage before the existing garage was built decades ago. Anyone critical of not going back to exactly that would be another "bite me" recipient. If we're rebuilding bathrooms that were remuddled poorly we're at least going with colors we like, and why in the world would we try and re-stick asbestos tile that's all warped and lifted up in a color we aren't even fond of? And since I'm already ranting about things there are a couple of things about our master bedroom/bathroom redo that I'm sure will be unpopular choices, but not something that can be worked around. The washer and dryer are moving to the master closet. Utilities, venting easy access to that location and wanting to get them out of the garage (1/2 mile walk from anywhere) drove that decision. The bathroom will suffer from the dreaded wasted space, but dealing with existing windows in a brick house and wanting the size of the room to be proportional to the bedroom and rest of the house bumped its size up some. There, that feels better :)[/rant]...See MoreHelp with kitchen complete kitchen remodel plan
Comments (8)Thanks. We do spend a lot of time in the family room. That was my first thought actually of opening that wall. The initial problem with that wall between the family room and the kitchen is that it is a load bearing wall. The living room we use as more of a formal sitting room if we have friends over. My wife also has her desk there. My wife has also thought about making the living room the dining room. Personally I think that is a waste of space but am open to being convinced otherwise. My wife and I would like to have more of an open floor plan. Thus thinking of combining the kitchen and dining room into one room. We eat 99% of our meals at the dining room table, so the table would have to fit into the larger kitchen design concept. I would like to incorporate kitchen and eating together. To me the difficult part is all the doors in the kitchen... the sliding doors to outside, the family room door, hall door and basement door....See More
