With the kitchen gutted we finally got to transpose the paper layouts, hopes, dreams to the actual space. Blue painter's tape is the weapon of choice for this type of work. We debated, we argued, we fought and at the end of the day we came up with a pretty killer plan; right down to a banquette.

Now that all the dreams are in place we have to figure out how to implement them. The kitchen is going to be in a commercial style with stainless work tables for counters and subway tile clad walls. Probably some fun stenciling on the floors but we haven't set that in stone yet.
