Flip It Friday – Slump Block Ranch Kitchen & Laundry Room

Ahh, finally the room I have been dying to show you more details on! The kitchen is hands down my favorite part of this home. For us, kitchens are always the heart of the home, the room most used, so we really wanted to make this one a stunner. But not only a stunner, we wanted it to be incredibly thought out and functional. Thankfully, I feel like we totally accomplished what we wanted to!

I told you details on how we changed the inside of the home around when we first got it. Long story short, we moved the kitchen from the back of the home, and made it much-much-much larger! So this is how the original kitchen looked:

And then the demo and the new spot for the kitchen, ending with how it is now:

Now lets get to the details! We had custom cabinets done in here, which is something we always love doing. By having them be custom you are able to make it exactly how you want.

We went with quartz countertops for this home. The white is nice and bright, but you don’t have the rough upkeep of Marble. I have to admit, I love quartz countertops so I’m really pleased with how this kitchen turned out. I personally cannot imagine attempting to keep marble looking great in my own kitchen, so I love using a durable surface for others!

For all of our faucets we went with our one of our favorites- Moen, the #1 faucet brand in North America. We have always loved their quality, it is unmatched. Again, knowing that we are giving the new owners something beautiful and durable is the best! We went with Stainless Steel in their awesome Spot Resist {helps repel fingerprints and water spots} for all the faucets.

We gave this kitchen so much function by not just having the normal main sink faucet, but also a prep sink area, and a pot filler! One day I too will have a pot filler;) . We know that, should something ever go wrong with the sink, that we can call someone like Apollo Plumbing to come out and take a look at it and get it working again as quickly as possible which is so important, given that the kitchen is such an essential room for us.

With this kitchen being the size it is, it gave us the fun opportunity to us larger than normal subway tile for the backsplash. The larger tile makes such a statement, along with the open shelves. We got the wood from an awesome local company Porter Barnwood. They only work with amazing salvaged wood, and I am so happy we now have it in the kitchen here.

And then there’s the pantry. Ohhh, the pantry!! We found the vintage doors from a local shop. They needed a lot of work, but after fixing them up and then painting them black to go along with the rest of the interior doors. They are fabulous! And with the doors being all glass, the wood shelves are a great touch of rustic.

I may have an additional plan for the kitchen that I am currently contemplating, which is getting a propane tank installed for the kitchen stove. While doing research for the kitchen improvement project, I came across a few articles on how propane can be useful in the household. With a tank installed, I may not have to worry about heating in winters as well. I may check out a few company sites similar to nelsonpropane.com before taking any further decision.

So thats the kitchen. Ill list the sources at the bottom.

Right off of the kitchen is the Laundry room. The room is a great size, and we added a fun touch by making it also a mudroom. It is connected to the garage, so having a ‘dumping zone’ in there is perfect! There is space for the washer dryer to be stacked, counter space and cabinets for storage, and then the organizational unit. We got quite an expensive washer dryer so we will make sure that we have a repair service on standby like https:www.georgerepairs.com because we wouldn’t want anything to go wrong with this installation.

I can’t believe it, but the only thing left to really show off of this house is the exterior! That will be up next week.
