Kitchen designs

So, I downloaded the IKEA kitchen design program and started playing around with some kitchen designs. Here is where I left off:
The space in the right lower corner would be a bathroom. The area in front of the sink would be a breakfast bar open to the living room.

It's a big work in progress!

Laundry Ideas

Where to put the laundry? Upstairs, main floor, or basement? We won't know our options until we get further into the redesign, but I would love to move the laundry into either the main floor or upstairs - but there has got to be enough space for storage and hanging clothes, and I am not sure if we have it.

Some ideas from Better Homes and Gardens: Laundry Rooms

I like the sink and the hanging storage:

Love the sink - looks old and super functional. I wonder how much it costs. Probably more than my fridge. :)

Another nice layout, but no room for hanging clothes.
A nice little laundry space.

Kitchen Cabinet Inspiration

I love the cut out handles in the cabinets and the marble countertops.
