My kitchen island extension is a bar cart that is usually in place beside my stove, but then moves over to the table for serving food if there's a need. That's all I have room for, and it works really well.

[@lucybraun8969]

Love my kitchen ceiling beam. It's black against a white background. The pop adds a little drama without overwhelming, and brings the various black elements of my kitchen together.

[@BeckyCantu]

You always use the most majestic images in your videos...elegant, cozy and just perfect.

[@ashleychilders]

What a sweet comment! Thank you so much and thanks for watching! ❤️

[@YayaBolender]

The sinks in stone were very spectacular! I never saw something like the one in marble, it’s beautiful.

[@ashleychilders]

So beautiful!!!!!

[@ninaotan7811]

I have bought (as a temporary feature) a small marble tray where I keep a soap dispenser and a sponge. Can’t wait to dispose it because dirt gets into all seams and I have regularly waist my time on cleaning the tray. Dread to imagine to do it for sink.

[@YayaBolender]

@@ninaotan7811 Maybe if it is carved in one piece of marble with no seams at all, it’s less problematic.

[@tomaszwnorowski5373]

@@YayaBolender Marble is porous, therefore it's a terrible material for countertops, let alone a sink. Looks beautiful on picture but would be horrible to maintain. The only situation where it may be okay is in some mansions with 2 kitchens - hidden one for actual cooking and one in the open space for making tea and coffee. Actually, even in this case it wouldn't really work because coffee, tea, wine etc. would stain the marble...

[@newwine1887]

There has to be an artificial material out there that looks like marble. I agree! Kitchens are messy and busy for a normal family. That beautiful integrated sink looks great when first installed but over time it must look horrible. Then what? You have to replace the entire counter!

Island extension, very practical: Hutch style, well-complements the kitchen design in most cases

[@ashleychilders]

I totally agree! Thanks for watching!

[@marciafirst2271]

This was a great video-I love these ideas-especially the counter hutch idea. I’ve heard so many say that open shelving, although attractive, is a nightmare to keep clean. I feel like the hutch with glass doors solves this problem. You can display your pretty things, but without the constant cleaning. I definitely want to incorporate this into my kitchen remodel.

[@ashleychilders]

I love that one too!!! Such a charming detail ❤️ thanks so much for watching!

[@vickigonya9432]

I am already icorporating hutch cabinets, pulling the base cabs firwRd to make the countertops 30" instead of 25" deep and raising them an inch, and having swing out lightweight wood with drop down legs to give more prep space to my small galley kitchen. Also motion detecting lighting to lower cabinets converted to drawers and pullouts.

[@ashleychilders]

Those all sound like great ideas!!! I'm doing something similar to your swing out prep countertop in an upcoming renovation and I can't wait! It's such a great way to maximize space and function❤️

[@barbarajackson3422]

Can’t wait to see the changes to your kitchen! So many things to love these days. I think for me, it would be several things that prob fall into the category of layering. All of the details combined to create the WOW. First the little ceiling fixtures instead of recessed. Different cabinet door profiles that work together as well as combining stain and paint. I’m really in love with the same counter stone and backsplash material and mixing counter edges. You have me thinking about the stone sinks now. Great content as always !

[@ashleychilders]

Oh, yes!! I love all of those as well, especially using a grid of flush mount light fixtures instead of recessed cans! That's a feature I've loved using in clients homes. Thanks for watching!

[@tricia8727]

I have never seen a designer touch on so many ideas that I LOVE. I thought I was the odd one out for wanting my kitchen to have the types of things you talk about. I love a kitchen to feel uniquie, charming, and like it has some history to it. This is my second video of yours that i have seen, and I am HOOKED. lol definitely subbing! Thank you!

This is spot on! The variety you have shown, draws you in! I like them all. My top three; 1-end of the island, 2-faucet, 3-hutch. I am also planning on that (horizon hutch project) in the near future. However, I need to source the wood, from a mill. Looking forward to your kitchen reveal as well. I also loved that you shared an update from a former client, that only involved paint. That is a real tribute to your initial decorating skill! Bravo!

[@KitchenDezign]

Island extensions: Such a great area of focus. I have designed many projects with raised & deeper dish storage- great for access to most areas of the kitchen and adjacent spaces. Love your very well explained style of explaining.

[@ashleychilders]

[@juliahelland6488]

I've been planning a kitchen remodel for a while now. I'm definitely leaning towards French Country style.

[@margaretd3710]

I notice how shallow the eating area is where you are sitting. It appears impossible for you to turn around and sit with your legs under the overhang, which seems like poor planning to me. So although there’s 3 bar stools, how many people can actually sit there comfortably? And at 13:37, you mentioned “chromone bolts”? What are they? I’ve never heard of them before. Lastly, how difficult will the rock walls or backsplash be to keep clean on a daily basis? It looks great but when you’re cooking and grease and dust get on it, isn’t it easier to clean a smooth surface than a rough textured surface? Some things sound better than the day to day reality. Of course, I guess if you can afford it you probably have a cleaning staff to take care of the cleaning so it doesn’t matter. But for a 76 year old grandmother like me, I want something that I’m not going to have to scrub my knuckles raw on every time I cook. So I think I’ll pass on this idea. Looks pretty, though.

[@refrigeratortrimkits]

We love the natural stone integration as well. The mixture of texture makes more than one area catch our eye.

[@lucybraun8969]

Definitely need an elegant, timeless glass element to give your kitchen some sparkle. Since my kitchen is small, I went with floating shelves where I placed fancy storage containers for things like nuts, seeds and garlic. It cleared up counter space and still left the kitchen with an open airy vibe. My upper cabinets were partially blocking views out the kitchen window. Not only are the decorative jars functional, but they add just the right amount of sparkle without looking like clutter.

[@marijanel9639]

Ok, so now I just want to rip my kitchen apart...or move! Thanks for such great ideas - my favorite is incorporating that European look into our box style kitchens. So easy to add character if you just give attention to the little details!

[@javi10872006]

All I see with anything open shelving is more space for dust to collect.

[@j.clements2093]

[@javi10872006]

Hello Ashley! Great ideas - thank you for sharing!

Though I am only applying the faux beams in part of the open space of the living area, and to create a separation to the kitchen and front entry. I'll have to take pictures of the before after!

I adore hutch style cabinetry in a kitchen and prefer it over open shelving. Everything remains dust free and the look adds instant charm and cosiness to the space, whether the decor is modern sleek or more traditional.

[@trinaroe5132]

Rough cut stone is a HORRIBLE design choice for kitchens! Impossible to clean. The kitchen is the LAST place it should be!

[@LynKr4321]

I agree. Someone installed brick on some of my kitchen walls and it is horrible, impossible to clean. I hate it.

[@Cypsky]

Agreed!

[@danaarmour707]

I disagree. We put in rough stone tile as a backsplash and we sealed it. It's held up. I like it because it's not perfect and it's different shades of color and texture which would hide stains if needed but so far no stains and easy to clean.

i TRULY LOVE YOUR STYLE AND YOUR KITCHEN DESIGNS ARE BEAUTIFUL. When I redid my condo kitchen I played it safe because I hope to be here for another 15 to 20 years and I played it safe with an all white, simple kitchen because 1) Our kitchen space is very small and the old black granite counter tops made the room look even smaller. And because I was afraid that anything else would look HORRIBLY outdated when it was time for us to sell.

[@ashleychilders]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@hiddenhighland]

Wonderful video- and so well done with the images. I really would have a hard time to say which of the elements I prefer. I suppose I do like the idea of the layers in general (so multiple textures- whether two kinds of paint for cabinets , two different countertop materials etc). I love very much the creative countertop edges. I am planning to use this element in my kitchen renovation (and just finished doing this for my coffee table renovation- had a slate slab cut and included detailed edge which I would like to use in kitchen). I have a kitchen that is open to the living room and dining area (loft like)- and this great space has windows from counter level to ceiling across the whole way around the room- so no possibility of upper cabinets anywhere (think continuous windows wrapping all the way around room. It also has huge stone cut squares that act as a ledge under the windows all the way around (actually these windows wrap around the entire top floor of house). This leaves me only one wall in kitchen area that is partitioned and so can have cabinets. Because the views around the rest of the room are breathtaking- I could not have a built- in cabinet wall to store fridge/stove etc. I needed to have something magnificent on the 'one' wall without windows. So I did buy an antique hutch with metal mesh cupboards- almost 3 meters tall. So it made designing the place to house fridge and stove tricky...but well worth figuring out how to push that constraint! That said- it seems that my kitchen has all the layer elements coming together naturally- huge wood beams in ceiling- stone walls & ledges- and so when I incorporate more of the details on your list- I am hoping it will be quite something! :)

All these kitchen ideas are beautiful and really come down to personal style, budget and space.

There are so many amazing old homes in Europe with beams (all structural of course) but I think the depth and architectural character they add are timeless. Although, I do think they should be used sparingly throughout a home for sure. Thanks so much for watching!

3:15, i could do a wall and sort of kitchen like this. My house is totally made from such stones in 1870. Ardennes, Belgium. But i will prordo that in my to make bathroom what is now still a bedroom. Last month i beoke through my 20"/50cm stone wall to make a dooropening to my garden. What a big job was that. My kitchen is from about 1982 and not so appealing... My 5 bedrooms still have the doors and handles from 1870. Also some plinths (plint / plinten in Dutch) are original. They have wooden notches to be put into the wall plast,er as they were when i took them off. I will reuse them ofcourse. I think that the window sill in my entry hall is actually a stone wash sink. My neighbor across the street ( overbuur in Dutch) also still has the original stone sink on such a window spot in her entry hall. She said it was used to wash the vegetables and so. In the authum the historical village man come to visit my house to write about it in the village magazine. They write about every house its history, old and new. History is interesting. Regards from a father and his son from the Ardennes ( Battle of the Bulge area).

@@ashleychilders yes, it absolutely is. By the way, I made some type mistakes and did not reread my text. Like today it was 31°Celsius (88F) outside but inside it is still normal with 20°C. The outside is white like all the houses in the village. The roof is 90 year old slate in very big tiles. There are no red roofpannes allowed and no other colors then white, brown, grey and natural stone are allowed to color your house. House white, around the windows brown or black or anthracite ( in the old days farmhouses had green around their windows. I found that color under the brown), grey roof, stone outside wall or brown wood planks on the outside. Across the field the very modern house is in these colors. So it fits very good in the village. Yes, I try to bring back the old flair but I also like modern furniture. Such a white fence would fit my front garden. The front façade has 4 windows on a row where bedrooms are. The winter project will be the small bedroom. It will be an office and I reuse the original plinths and ofcourse the original door and door frame. The bedroom for guests (logeerkamer) is in a more English cottage style. Not finished because I did not find some right furniture. The attic is 100% from 1870. Big beams and no insulation, original flooring with at some places tin/metal cheating patches are nailed to the planks against mice. The village historical guy will visit my house and write about it in the village magazine. But because of the American bombardment from St. Vith on 24 th December 1944, no build drawings or anything is left ( from many houses). Best regards

The idea of a glass door pantry can be charming, but there are times when the pantry area can get a little cluttered and it would drive me crazy to be able to see that, (which is my my walk-in closet areas have closed doors, albeit they clad in beautiful handprinted and embroidered wall paper fabric). In my new home renovation, I have utilised part of a corridor leading to the kitchen area as a small walk-in 'China cabinet/pantry where I will store my good china, linens, cutlery, vases, some appliances etc. with open shelving that sits above sets of drawers. Having closed cupboards in this area would make the corridor too dark, so I opted for glass doors with a tiny warm metal mesh-like structure from Rimadesio (Milan) that lets in light but not too transparent. I can leave a soft light on in the cupboard area which casts a soft glow to the corridor. You would be surprised at how this modern glass front adapts to clean lined designs as well as something more classic. A hutch with glass doors I adore, but a pantry area that is always on show, not so much.
