Edited Florida House
Here is a link to other pics of this house. I don’t like how modern the kitchen is, I want more warm, eclectic modern, but ... This is the layout I am going for by taking down that wall. I think this leads us toward straightening the fridge wall and the large island like Argyle. Also, I like the long, wide plank floors but not the color. May have to compromise on that based on cost but do like it. Check out this link for more pictures. https://cabexconstruction.com/project/sarasota-design-build/
I think I have settled on this kitchen or the Argyle kitchen as my two preferred if the kitchen layout doesn’t have to end up staying the same. I think I’m leaning toward the Argyle kitchen but...just FYI, when we do cook, Z and I both do it together and do the dishes together also. So there are always two “cooks” in the kitchen if you think one layout is more conducive than the other.
Like these doors but wouldn’t want clear glass. These probably have too much glass but I like the style and color of the wood. Though wood outside doesn’t work well. We have teak furniture outside right now and are probably going to have to change that, even though I love the look. It is just to much of a pain in the ass for upkeep. Easy to keep clean seems to be a priority for me. :-)
I like this TV wall if TV goes on the long wall. The type of wood is maybe a little too much pattern but I like the mix of colors and the modern style of the wall unit. It would need to be a fake fire if we did it on that long wall. Maybe a shelf for Staccatto Johnson or he goes somewhere else. Also I know this is too long and would need to be modified to fit.
I love this bathroom and the teak. I don’t think we can do a teak floor in the shower down here because of moisture and mold, but the look of this is great! I also know that teak is expensive. Maybe just bringing in a bit of wood, teak or walnut, into bathroom. Maybe for mirror framing. Maybe bronze or leather pulls. Like the shelves or inset in shower. Need a ledge to shave.
If we change the layout of the kitchen then I like the idea of one large island. I also like the wood on the edge of this island, the niches under, and the look of the stove wall. I also like how you can get out of the kitchen on both sides of the island. I’m not a fan of the wood front on the fridge but otherwise I really like this kitchen although if I had wood cabinets I would not have this particular wood. Wood insert would be better if level with countertop though.
This light but would change out rug for a natural color and there is a large mirror that will hang on the wall there. This dining table will go at some point but in the meantime I will probably get 2-4 more chairs (complimentary if not the same) and have two at the table and two off to the side.
