Kitchen Planning

I'm having withdrawals from the floor plans right now. I didn't take a photo of my compiled floor plan for me to look at (I mean so I can obsess over it in a moment of procrastination from other tasks) or to show other people in the family what the current plans are before the architect took it. So not only am I missing looking at the floor plan I'm kicking myself for not making a copy of it.

I keep telling myself it's good that they have my floor plan because it means progress is being made on coming to a final design. But this doesn't make up for not having the tangible paper in front of me. So to make up for the missing floor plan, I decided to refine the kitchen layout.

In my version of the floor plan, I did a different layout to what the architect had done. But I was never quite satisfied with its functionality. And I forgot to put a pantry in. In my defence I thought there would be a walk-in-pantry from the door you'll see in the elevation I've included. Except that room may now become a store room. This gave me all the more reason to rejig the floor plan as opposed to just wanting to swoon over architectural plans (I'm actually obsessed with floor plans. Can you tell?)

So this is what I came up with:
It's super super basic, but it helps with visualising the floor plan. I used EZ-Archietct to create this.

I just wanted to document my feelings right now and share them with you. I'm also curious to see how close the finished kitchen will be to the one I've designed. This is probably more interior design focused than floor plan configuring, but I've enjoyed both so far.

There'll be another post in January about the architect's consolidated version of my combined plans so look out for it in the new year.

Six sleeps til Christmas!
