A Peek at Our New Coffee Station Cabinet with Pocket Doors!

If you happen to’ve been round right here for awhile now, you realize I LOVE having a kitchen espresso station. I actually take pleasure in making my morning espresso a savored expertise, so in each kitchen we’ve had I’ve all the time created a reasonably vacation spot the place I could make espresso!

Once we started designing our new kitchen, we (after all!) wished to contemplate the place the espresso station can be.

And for the primary time ever, we put in a closed pantry model cupboard particularly to carry our espresso station!

Does that come as a shock to you since I’ve all the time had ours out within the open? I believe this closed cupboard was a superb choice for our house, so let me clarify why.

Clearly our kitchen/eating space is in no way completed, and we’re ready on the casing trim on the openings between rooms, the crown and base molding for the cupboards, {hardware} and extra. However I assumed you may take pleasure in a sneak peek of the progress! 🙂

This kitchen has a novel structure from earlier kitchens we’ve had, so we approached the perform and design parts in line with what would work finest with the house we have now right here.

We determined to deal with the kitchen and eating rooms as a mixed space when it got here to cabinetry and performance. This allowed us to create varied devoted job zones and flooring to ceiling storage across the accessible partitions wherever they match finest, whereas preserving the house as an entire feeling visually unified.

The higher glass cupboards assist it from feeling too closed in and mirror some gentle, too. I’ll share extra in regards to the glass cupboards and different built-ins in a future put up.

If you happen to missed it, I shared our kitchen flooring plan earlier than/after on this put up.

Our new espresso station cupboard is definitely situated within the eating room, in an area to the left of the prevailing built-in bookcase and bench in our front room (the espresso station might be throughout the room from our new eating banquette!).

This location helped transfer a job and storage station away from the principle cooking space of the kitchen, which can assist on the subject of entertaining or having household over in a smaller house like ours.

We designed a part of the cupboard to carry our espresso maker and provides. There are additionally pull-out pantry drawers for no matter we wish to retailer right here. This cupboard may additionally function a breakfast station with cereal or a toaster, for instance. There might be a lightweight inside so it will likely be simpler to make use of at night time, too. It’s good to have versatile storage that may serve no matter objective is required as time goes on, as properly! It doesn’t should be a espresso station.

The double doorways are pocket doorways. Their design permits the doorways to slip again into the perimeters of the cupboard with out hindering inside house for the cabinets which might be put in right here.

Having the pocket doorways will allow us to to go away the cupboard open for household or company to serve themselves espresso!

Open pocket doorways may even will assist visitors movement, making it much less awkward to stroll previous as it’s a pathway/related house between the lounge and kitchen.

Closed storage may even hold the realm feeling clear and streamlined when not in use. Our important flooring is kind of small and the three important rooms (together with the lounge) are all seen to one another so we wished to maintain the visible muddle down as a lot as potential.

We’ll set our Berkey water filter in a pull out pantry drawer on the left for straightforward filtered water entry. It isn’t a elaborate faucet or built-in system, however it is going to work for us. I actually wrestled over whether or not or not I ought to embrace a faucet or plumbing into this cupboard. It could have been handy, for certain, however there are two sinks and taps only a few steps away.

When one is doing a rework, it may be straightforward to repeatedly persuade your self you’ve gotten yet one more “want” or one thing else must be added now “whereas we’re doing this” (to justify the “want” so as to add extra zeroes to the ever rising value, hahah!). However I’m simply completely satisfied to have the added storage—built-ins had been sufficient of a splurge for our price range :).

Beneath are a number of of the issues we use for making and serving espresso that may probably be within the new espresso station, too!

I’ve had a mug rack like this in my kitchens earlier than, however this time I’m pondering to maintain most of our mugs on the shelf or drawers within the espresso station. Though if I can squeeze in a mug rack, I’ll :).

If you happen to’re questioning, although we’ll have this fancy espresso machine within the espresso station, I nonetheless intend to make my espresso in this stovetop espresso maker like I’ve for years. You’ll find these provides beneath as properly.
