I have taken you through the design process behind my office and bathroom, now it’s time to begin sharing our kitchen! As I have mentioned previously, our home has mid-century bones and was built 20 – 30 years after the other homes on our street.

That means that we lucked out and have a large eat-in kitchen as opposed to the small, separate kitchen and dining room layouts common in Kansas City homes built-in the 1920’s – 1930’s.

We are also fortunate that our kitchen was completely renovated in 2007. While that does mean that some aspects are a bit outdated 11 years later, it also means that our cabinetry, countertops, and appliances are still in perfectly decent shape and that a renovation is in no way necessary (score!).
