A coastal-themed kitchen can be both refreshing and comfortable. Take a look at this coastal kitchen mood board and this fresh kitchen style.
The kitchen renovation plans have been in the works for ages. Today I want to share the plan and give you a look at the kitchen mood board. Looking at my kitchen you may be feeling like it isn’t ready for a renovation quite yet, it is certainly livable and not too outdated… after all, my house is only 12 years old.
The Current Kitchen

As you can see the kitchen isn’t aesthetically bad (really just bland and unexciting).
As it would go, deeper wood tones are on their way back ‘in’. Not only is this kitchen dark for my personal style, but I’d also like it to function better while the kids are still young and the kitchen will be in its prime use.

The Current Pantry
Last year I did a bit of pantry organization to hold us over until we could get to the renovation stage. It served its hold over period, but with the renovation I’m hoping for more closed food storage, give everythign a home, a bigger counter space more of a butler’s pantry that a catch all.
The Pantry Renovation Plan
- Remove all shelving
- Vermont skinny shaker cabinetry from The Door Maker
- Add lower cabinetry and two uppers
- Create a breakfast and coffee station
- Add open shelving
- Replace pocket door with Interbois 6 panel glass door
- Clad walls with birch vertical panles from Interbois
- Add beverage fridge

Coastal Kitchen Finishes Mood Board
The home I live in is much smaller than those that have been hitting the scene these days. It’s an open concept ranch style bungalow with 8′ ceilings. In an effort to embrace it’s size and not constanly be striving to make it something it’s not, I’m embracing the cozy cottage vibe and adding in some light, airy and colorful coastal touches. Afterall I am on the East coast of Canada, if I can’t run with it, who can?!
