![]() I can’t wait to get busy styling those shelves with practical daily dishes as well as fun, yet simple, accessorizing. I’ve loved the look of open shelving for a few years now. I made smart decisions regarding storage solutions in all the lower cabinets in order to have no need for uppers. ![]() Notice there are no upper cabinets (other than our built ins). I love ours though and I worked through those “challenges.” Those can be a blessing and a curse all at the same time when dealing with design challenges. We have 12′ ceilings throughout the whole main floor. Our former kitchen felt a bit closed off from the main living area so I wanted this one to feel like just an extension of our living room space. There were a few key elements that were a must for our kitchen. To design a kitchen this way is risky, but I had to trust my instincts and pray that what I was envisioning in my crazy design mind would actually look and feel how I wanted it to. ![]() I relied on a few photos to show him for specific looks I was trying to achieve like our specialty rift sawn white oak cabinets and paneling. I worked with a local “old school” cabinet maker who basically sketched very basic cabinet dimensions per my guidance with basic kitchen layout that I had designed. If you have the opportunity to work with a kitchen designer that does those fancy (and so helpful) renderings, I’d highly recommend that route. The kitchen is the heart of our home, isn’t that true for most homes? I knew I wanted it to feel modern yet comfortable. I’m just a big bundle of nerves as I’m about to present to you the BIG REVEAL of our brand new modern black and white oak kitchen at The Forest Modern!!! When I started designing our new custom home over two years ago, I had no clue what I wanted our kitchen to look like.
