I have all of our everyday dishes, glasses, coffee mugs, wine glasses and spices out on the open shelf, so I rarely even open the cabinets. I have no trouble reaching the first shelf in the cabinets, but after that I have to use a step stool. I keep one tucked just behind the barn door. Laura, The floors are oak. Thanks for the great feedback! Rachel Hi Jina,

Laura,
The floors are oak.

Thanks for the great feedback!

I think the consensus is we are all drooling! Quick question... is it hard to get in to your cabinets? I am 5'2 and I was thinking I would never be able to reach... do you use a step stool, or are you just taller than me? :) I love this kitchen too! I think the consensus is we are all drooling!

The wine cubbies above the fridge are great and The little cafe corner for the coffee is perfect for that tiny space (shown in the picture with the barn door). and speaking of the barn door...love it! we just did this in our (very old-1797) house as the bathroom door. I had to do alot of convincing to get my husband to agree to this feature (he did not want to spend the money on the hardware and track) and now he is just as thrilled with it as i am. space saving and easier for us to install than a regular door (since our walls are just 3/4" thick boards). it is my favorite feature of our recent bathroom remodel. btw, you can use any off the shelf door, as long as you can get it or make it the right size. we got ours from Lowes and cut 4" off the bottom to make it fit in our weird old house (our doorways are just shy of 6' tall) This is a beautiful kitchen.

We converted an old closet under a set of stairs into our pantry and had the electrician add an outlet so that we wouldn't need to use valuable counter-space for the microwave.
