This was one of the many kitchens featured on "Leave it to Bryan" on HGTV. But, it was one of my favourites and I'm sure it had a lot to do with the amazing homeowners we were working with. They were a lot of fun and intended to maximize the experience of being on a television show. And they did it really well - rolled with the punches, handed over control, made quick decisions and stayed positive through the whole thing (even in the face of not getting everything they wanted!)
We used Ikea cabinets in the Lidingo white. Due to the ceiling height I was able to add an extra row of cabinetry to the top using a combination of fan cabinets and additional fridge cabinets, depending on the depth needed. In the corner near the back door, we couldn't use regular counter-depth cabinets, so I stacked upper cabinets to match the height I wanted without impeding access to the back. I'm so jealous of the amount of storage they have!
Which brings me to the other reason it was a favourite kitchen - I was living vicariously through them. My kitchen is a dump (no word of a lie) and I got to pretend it was mine for a day - I even used some of my own stuff staging it (sorry guys for taking some of it away after!) Anyway, mine will get done in August, even if I rip it out with my own bare hands, so I will be sure to post pictures of the progress and final "reveal". In the meantime, I hope you enjoy looking at this kitchen as much as I enjoyed creating it. And thank you Emma and Scott for your amazing testimonial!
