    • The kitchen reno discussion began with non-negotiables. The husband, being a chef, was clear on one thing: he wanted an island for extra prep space. Meanwhile, I was determined to keep the space open and clutter-free by skipping top cabinetsβ€”I’ve always felt they tend to collect things we don’t really need.
    • Keeping the kitchen open was also key because we wanted the overall house to feel spacious and inviting, with the island as a central spot for people to gather and hang around. We wanted to introduce warm tones and textures while maintaining the minimalist, uncluttered aesthetic we were aiming for.
    • To create a sense of height, we overlaid the basic BTO tiles with vertical off-white tiles that run from the countertop all the way to the ceiling. We opted for warm, brown shaker-style cabinetry to bring a cozy, inviting feel to the kitchen. For the island, we chose a bold orange-copper brown tone that stands out as the centerpiece of the space.
    • We also installed pendant lights with an amber hue that give off a warm, cozy glow at night.
    • While we’re thrilled with how the kitchen turned out, we do wish we had covered the exposed pipe and gone for an L-shaped countertop to create more workspace. Turns out, we spend way more time in the kitchen than we originally thought!
