The inside of the previous kitchen. As this was by the first owner, so they have been here since the 1990s.
We decided to change it all up and sent some mood board to our contractor to help us render the kitchen cabinetries.
Another reason why we wanted to open up the kitchen and hack off the yard is to let the wind pass through, creating a true cross ventilation.
This allows plenty of wind to enter our house, as we have unblock front view and the yard side's building is quite a distance.
Our kitchen and service yard are together. We do not have any ceiling laundry system, and because is just the two of us, our laundry load is not a lot.
Hence we got this off Taobao and have our contractor install for us. Next picture shows how usually the laundry system is like when not in use.
Our sink area, got the sink and kitchen mixer from Taobao! Always wanted a farmhouse sink, also if you noticed, our tap comes with a bidet!
It's helpful when it comes to cleaning our sink. We do have a drying rack in the cabinet, but for efficiency, we got a drying plate.
