What challenge have you overcome in your kitchen? The biggest challenge was the layout. The original kitchen had three doors which did not leave any room for even a refrigerator. We closed off two doors for pantry space and cabinets while opening up the front of the kitchen to the dining/living space. continued...

We also fit in our modern aesthetics with the updated appliances, glass backsplash and glass cabinet hardware while maintaining the house's architectural style with the white shaker-style cabinets, beadboard accents, and soapstone countertop.
What's the story of your kitchen?
We bought a 1920's bungalow where the original kitchen had not been remodelled significantly. So there was a serious lack of cabinets, countertop space and appliances - you name it!

I really love this! We have a highwater bungalow in Sacramento and we're in the process of planning a kitchen remodel. We're planning on doing something quite similar, white shaker cabinets and wood flooring. I am really curious about your counter tops, it's great (ETA, just saw you gave that info, sorry). I also like that you combined drawer pulls with knobs (my boyfriend and I are currently arguing over this!).
i love the countertops!
Cute kitchen in a great town. We live in Palo Alto and the weather is the BEST. I really like wood floors in kitchens. Either wood or stone tiles are favorites. Glass tiles for backsplashes are another favorite. I'm sure the homeowners will really enjoy this space.
