if we eliminate the linen closet in the remodel, we'll need to think of where linens, extra pillow, blankets, comforters, etc. will go. In master bedroom, if walk-in closet holds our clothes, David's tall boy can be used for linens, and hopefully it will fit inside the small closet area of the bedroom, or if the whole small closet can be replaced by cupboards, shelves, drawers, baskets, it'll all fit in there.
This is what I was thinking for just inside new front entrance. It would be against the back side of new walk-in closet wall in master bedroom, and would need cubbies for shoes, and hooks for purses, jackets, umbrellas, scarves, and shelves for hats. My family often brings food over for holidays, so their bowls, platters, etc., need a place to stay too. I think a combination of seat, hooks, shelves/cubbies, and baskets would be good. Not sure about key, phone, and notebook storage near the front door, but maybe a good idea. I prefer shoes/boots stay in designated area, but not on shelf so I don't have to clean the shelf. Prefer they sit on floor underneath bench seat.
garage door contractor?
great idea for charging electronic devices, storing unopened mail/magazines, adding counter space, and best of all...mobility. This could be a great idea next to the TV, in the pantry, or somewhere in the new breezeway/music room storage area with mudroom, laundry room, drawer/cabinet storage. The only issue is it needs to be where the action is!
Now THAT'S a pantry!
Coffee station in kitchen and wine/liquor bar in dining would be great
This matches my fireplace
Hidden pantry, love it!
There's the Ikat design I found on Overstock in a banquette bench or settee/love seat. Pretty in kitchen with wood table.
Appliance cupboard, yay!
Cool!
I need a couple of these at least....my whole pantry, my laundry room cabs, and my hall closet, in addition to all of my sideboards and my wardrobe in the dining room are all full. And the 2 boxes of dishes in my small bdrm closet.
Love the organization. I have 4.5 drawers of kitchen tools!
Floor is American Black Walnut, see 8" plank pics in questions
Like the cabs and backsplash
Oxford Castano Porcelanosa tile floors....color matches the fireplace. This tile comes in 3 other colors of white, grey, Dark grey.
This floor goes with our fam rm fireplace....great match
Love the cab and backsplash colors with the paint and floor colors. This could be pretty in my house.
Love the cab color with lighter island and sable colored chairs
Pretty
I like cream instead of white, cream feels warmer
Like the cream color better than white
Pretty grey wall color
Butcher block countertop is Madrone, sourced from Northwest
Maybe if we keep and extend our wood floor in the house, we should consider a similar color fake wood deck to match. Not sure it's cheaper than stone, should check it out. This color looks good/close.
Like the slate tile floor....could be a nice indoor/outdoor from kitchen to deck.....nana window wall between
Backlit onyx behind stove and travertine wall....assume fireplace surround wall, but not sure from comments
Butcher block counters are beautiful and warm
Butcher block and wood floors warm up the stainless and white

Reclaimed timber wall...I like it
Counters are Caesarstone Pebble
Wood on island countertop with fruit or vege bowl would make it less formal looking
Bianco Romano creamy white granite
Ship lap wall is fun
Like the stainless/butcher block island
Concrete countertops....how do they hold up? Cracking, discoloration, maintenance?
Callacatta Oro honed stone countertops
Counters are white princess quartzite, cabs are snowfall white, walls are dove grey....beautiful, rich color....like French vanilla
This is beautiful....strength of granite with look of marble
Like soapstone
Love the Ipe siding
Full wall mirrors make the room look bigger, takes away from storage though

Like the opaque glass paneled pocket door
