It’s finally here! The kitchen, which transformed in concept multiple times over the last two years has finally been installed.
From the beginning of the process, the kitchen has been a challenge. First figuring out a layout – and even where in the house it would be. Ironically, it ended up in the place I first imagined when I sketched plans to renovate the old kominka in April 2021. But it had a turn on the opposite side of the building and even in the middle of the house when the architect drew up his initial plans in October 2021.
I tried to plan for our cooking style (and dreams) and struggled with finding the right layout to fit the space. I recruited opinions for layout concepts on the Facebook group and got great ideas. Then did two complete U-turns including color changes. There were many trips to the Takara Standard showroom.
And yesterday the Final Answer was installed.
I like it. Whew.
It is gift-wrapped against sawdust and dirt. Ready for the arrival of the oven and stovetop sometime soon. And tiling, but that’s a post for later.
