MARTHA LAYOUTS - DEISI VASQUEZ

FINAL KITCHEN

KITCHEN ONE (original) design

NOTES

We are strongly leaning the original layout, but with the island that you’ve detailed in #2 (below) with the “dogbone” island style. We’d love to take a different angle of the island, as it’s hard to tell what storage it would have, how it looks if facing the sink, etc. I’d also to have the option of “hiding” the TV, perhaps placing it in a cabinet with a pull down door.

I’ve also included a few photo examples of elements that we dig.

I don’t know how we’d pull it off structurally, but I love how the stove is centered in the last photo, framing it up perfectly against the kitchen island. This is a balanced look, and we could better hide a TV to the right of the stove.

Is a “t-bone” shaped island a terrible idea (2nd to last photo)?

Where would we put…

Placement of sponges and dish cleaning sponge
Where do we hang dish towels
Do we want rug in front of sink

KITCHEN TWO

KITCHEN THREE

While this look is super interesting and creative, we’d like to stick to an island vs a peninsula.

LIVING ONE

What would the living room look like if there was one sofa against the wall, and one chair facing the front door? I like the look of the "L", but worry that the second chair closest to the kitchen may inhibit movement from the kitchen to the dining room / outside patio.
