Retro Ranch Reno: Kitchen + Foyer Reveal! (Ep. 12)

It's REVEAL time!! Today you're getting a two-for-one exclusive tour of the all new and totally renovated kitchen and foyer at the Retro Ranch Reno! We’ve taken a dated 80’s rancher and turned it into a crisply contemporary country escape. On a quiet country road sits this funky low slung modern home renovated and revamped in a pared down neutral palette. The diagonally installed hexagon floor tiles in the foyer that YOU helped us decide on sets the stage for a whole home transformation that looks and feels lofty and lovely, airy and open, bright and breezy. Our open concept contemporary monochromatic kitchen is all about the details - crisp whites, smokey greys, waterfall edge countertops, sleek cabinetry, streamlined appliances and a convenient morning coffee station fuelled by our friends at Nespresso Canada. Tune in to see how we whipped up this fresh and functional kitchen and foyer combo thanks to our hardworking Sarah Richardson Design Life Crew!

Ohhhhhh! I loved the brown bench!! It was a nice earthy contrast to the gray room. I love Sarah Richardson too. You rock Sarah.

[@jimjimmyjames59]

Yes, I thought the natural wood was a better choice. Albeit with some sanding.

[@santoshkumariinspired9725]

Wow .... cabinet color was awesome and those floor tiles gave different look to the kitchen ... bench in foyer gave a character to the place ... simple but elegant

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you so much 😊

[@angellas.1314]

I do love the peninsula!

[@stevebailey4128]

THIS is THE most amazing Reno, LOVE this one!! ♥️

[@dyanalayng5507]

You're totally right about storage & the IKEA cabinets look great. Love the wallpaper & bench. Sarah, thanks for showing what the pebble glass shade does to the light when it's on. Your bamboo hooks are so fun - they seriously look like rock climbing handhelds on that wall! 🙄

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@IGuess...]

Pretty fabulous reveal so far, Sarah! (as always!!) BUT...that triangle of dead space above the upper kitchen cabinets adjacent to the wall drives me absolutely CRAZY!! (why not simply fill in with a triangular piece of cabinetry front to make it more seamless and custom/upscale looking? My eyes go right to that triangle and wonder, “REALLY, Sarah???”) and I think you should have gone with the 66% -me included 🙋‍♂️-on that entry floor tile pattern.... 🥴 On the other hand, the scones with the gold-tipped bulbs are SO SO CHIC! 🔥 LUVVVVVVV 💯

[@ytubechannel997]

I agree. Trapped space always looks awkward. I would have filled that triangle with the cabinetry slab that was used on the door in the foyer. Another suggestion would be to not place cabinetry on that small section of wall, and instead, install open shelving.

[@marcirobins5144]

Okay. The triangle caught my eye, too.

[@CM-pb7yw]

Okay, my favourite? I love the wallpaper on the ceiling...oh my God did I just say that? YES I DID! AND...the sconces in the kitchen, amazing!! The vent above the stove, so cool Sarah! Wow, everything...I love it! I can’t wait to see the rest. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗💕

Yeah! Sarah video. A light in our world’s. In love with your choices. Just Wow! One of my favorite things about you is how you take accessible items, and products and turn them into a high end custom look. It’s classy and stunning. I’m feeling old. Fiona is such a pretty young lady now.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Aw, thank you 😊

[@paulacarr122]

Yes! And I love how she does this with tile, too. Use cheaper field tiles and accent with the cool pricey ones, and she's so creative with the layout...one of my favorite parts of her old shows.

[@bonnerscott5374]

Talented women and very beautiful may I add. positive people always give off good vibes.

[@J-ZIM]

Love how this home has been updated. The only thing that I would have changed/updated is install a much larger & longer window above the sink so that it ran all the way to the counter stools. That way there is a much larger view of the beautiful greenery/yard. People in the kitchen, sitting at the counter & living room would enjoy it

[@sandyrobinson6490]

Fi looks so grown up! She’s a beautiful young lady. Great reveal.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

She's growing up a bit too fast for me!

[@EEN63]

For a contemporary home, the kitchen has all the right elements! Clean lines, minimal profile cabinets, sleek counters with the waterfall edge, limited counter decor, I do like hidden appliances but for a rental it makes sense to save the budget, but the vent hood has a fantastic profile! The counters and the flooring are my favorites! Both the entry and the kitchen are dramatic transformations! Well done!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you!

[@theghostofjennifercook]

I am CRAZY about these in-depth reveals! Hearing your reasoning and thought process behind your choices really helps when trying to apply your infinite wisdom to my own house. Those pendants-turned-sconces are a DREAM -- way to be resourceful and beautiful!

Thank you so much!!

[@delladearest2511]

This transformation is stunning! When I recall how awful that old cabin-style look was that did not hold up over time, this current modern style will hold up for decades! Trendy Color accessories can always be added/changed out without affecting this timeless look. I also appreciate your choice of IKEA cabinets, KitchenAid, and caesarstone materials that anyone with a tight budget could use. 😎👏💐❣️

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thanks!!

[@Calgary27]

Wow! I saw those IKEA cabinets and went, humph! Moved right past them - very beautiful and elegant kitchen with a peninsula to anchor a massive dining room! Elegance can be so hard to achieve in an open floor plan - grand slam, Sarah and team!

Yes! Thank you!

[@categ4002]

Love the look of the kitchen. If it was mine I would have the coffee and toast center at the wall end of the peninsula. That would the stove area open. I guess I should have started with when we vacation cooking is a group activity so I could see a bottle neck at the stove.

[@jekku4688]

I love how you are so simpatico with your crew that you know what kind of coffee they like! And yup, now I'll have to get me one of those ginormous hobnail mugs that flashed on the screen! (where do I find it?) And OMG this is a RENTAL??? You're not going to live in this gorgeous house after all this work??? Holy cow you're VERY VERY brave to leave this gorgeous place in the hands of complete strangers! P.S. LOVE those sconces, how clever!!!

[@ginacota9724]

Sarah you are just so fun to watch! Your enthusiasm and cute sense of humor is the best! Of course your design style can’t be beat but the combination of all that is what really makes you stand out 🤩 LOVE THE KITCHEN AND ENTRY! You made some really great choices and I have to say I’m definitely partial to an island but you are spot on about the flow and having that peninsula where it is. Can’t wait to see the rest of the house!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you Gina. We can't wait for you to see the rest!

I just want you to know there are few decorators who I would let into our home to tweak it, but Sarah you are right at the top of my list of professional decorators I would love to touch our home here in Colorado with your amazing design flair. LOVE~LOVE~LOVE your podcast (I just subscribed so I will not miss any of your shows). Blessings to you & your family from Colorado ❤️

[@katherinekelly5380]

I was one who voted for the random pattern for the front entry tile - absolutely sure that was the way to go, but see the angle stripes (even in passing) has changed my mind - it looks very modern & and dynamic ! just excellent ! Great job 😀

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Hehehe well I'm glad you like it!

[@ryguy1985]

Interesting idea for that corner cabinet behind the peninsula would be a pull out bar cart... something on wheels

I am ALWAYS happy to see that there’s a brand new Sarah video! I think Sarah’s choices were aesthetically beautiful and creative too! I’m not a big fan of the flooring transition between the kitchen and dining area. It looks quite chopped-off to me. Anyone else? I think I would’ve used the same wood flooring throughout the entire upstairs. Using the wood flooring in the kitchen would’ve broken up all of the charcoal/white too.

[@lorrilewis2178]

The kitchen is perfect for the space. One quibble if I may . . . wouldn't it function better for the Nespresso to be on the other side of the sink near the peninsula? That way, people getting coffee don't get in the way of the cook. ???

[@Muzikluvr724]

The one thing I find distracting is the cabinets on the slant wall. I think I’d have pulled the gray from the cabinets and painted it above the cabinets to the ceiling. Then the tops just disappeared and looked more cohesive on the wall. That’s my only design choice I’d have made. Love everything you do Sarah. ⭐️

[@jacintateresa3428]

These 2 areas look so beautiful! There are a couple things (not bad) I noted though. The original kitchen cab design hid more of the sloped ceiling, while your cab setup emphasized it. Was that your intention? Also, removing the wall was great but it emphasized your point re the limitation of a long narrow space & why you opted out of an island. The questions you gave will certainly help us talk/image ourselves thru renos.

The rest of the kitchen is super fabulous and very contemporary. I like the clean lines of the cabinets much better than what was there when you first took on the project.
