Blog Cabin Season 7 Episode 2 Blog Cabin Kitchen
- August 5, 2013
In the second episode of season 7 of Blog Cabin, the focus is on the kitchen of this stunning waterfront home in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The cabin, which was built in the 1970s and has since been renovated by a team of designers and contractors, has been transformed into a modern, yet rustic, home fit for any family.
The episode begins with an introduction to the kitchen space, which is located in the center of the home and boasts views of the lake from every angle. The team of designers, led by Chris Grundy, explains that they want to create a space that is both functional and beautiful, with plenty of room for families to gather and cook together.
The first step in the process is to demo the existing kitchen, which is outdated and cramped. The team removes the old cabinets, countertops, and appliances, leaving an empty space that is ready for a fresh start.
Next, the team begins to install the new cabinets, which are made of reclaimed barn wood and give the space a warm and rustic feel. The cabinets are custom-built to fit the space and feature plenty of storage for dishes, pots, and pans.
As the cabinets are being installed, the team turns their attention to the countertops, which are made of Caesarstone quartz. The countertops are a light gray color and provide the perfect contrast to the dark wood cabinets. They are also incredibly durable and easy to clean, making them an ideal choice for a busy family kitchen.
With the cabinets and countertops in place, the team moves on to the appliances. They have selected a range, refrigerator, and dishwasher from GE Café, which are all stainless steel and complement the rest of the kitchen perfectly. The range features a double oven and a gas cooktop, making it easy for the family to prepare meals for large groups.
As the appliances are being installed, the team starts to work on the backsplash. They have selected a white subway tile that is classic and timeless, yet also modern and fresh. The tile is installed in a herringbone pattern, which adds a fun and unexpected twist to the space.
With the backsplash complete, the team turns their attention to the lighting. They have selected a combination of pendants and track lighting, which provide plenty of light and also add a decorative touch to the space.
Finally, the team adds the finishing touches to the kitchen, including new hardware for the cabinets and a beautiful farmhouse sink from Kohler. The sink is made of cast iron and features a beautiful apron front that is reminiscent of an earlier time.
As the episode comes to a close, the team steps back to admire their work. They have created a beautiful and functional space that is perfect for a family who loves to cook and gather together. From the warm wood cabinets to the durable quartz countertops, every element of the kitchen has been carefully selected to create a space that is both stylish and practical.
