Kitchen Design with Modern Dining Room Furniture

 

About a year and a half ago, I purchased my first home in Martinsville, VA; located in an older, traditional neighborhood and about a mile from Lake Lanier.  At the top of my list for renovation was the kitchen.  It was outdated and in poor condition.  The wallpaper, appliances, flooring, cabinets, and light fixtures all needed to be updated. I took a long-term approach and planned a design that was aesthetically pleasing, sensible for how I live, and fully functional, given my love for cooking.

Kids especially love themes, so consider designing your room around a theme. You and your child can have fun picking from different theme ideas that interest them. The space theme shown above is great for younger boys.

These themes can be universal but specific girl themes could include an enchanted forest with a princess and castle.

We could either sell the house and find a larger one, or we could maximize the space we have and finish the unfinished basement of our house. While the first option may have been easier and more logical, we choose the latter. We soon met with a friend who is a local contractor to conjure up ideas about what we wanted.
