Sorry, hot plate, cook top are the same things here :)
Ok, thanks for your opinion Zippy!
Would you do an island to give more space or would that disrupt the triangle?
If I had a dining table in there it would act as an island I guess

Oh! Well, I would find a hotplate useful. Most people here have a cooktop/oven combo, although you can get them separately.
I thought it didn't look wide enough for an island.

Yeah this is going to be seperate, buying it together is waaaayyyy too expensive.
The thing with no 3 (and that's the design the first man gave) is that there is no broom closet which I need, unless he puts it on the other side of the pantry by the back door, it could look a little cramped though.
I wonder how hard it is to swap your sliding door to the other side? So that the door is where the window section is and vice versa?

I think then your latches and stuff would be on the wrong side. I don't if it could be done or not...
In your photo of your kitchen, where is the fridge now?

Well I usually dont like the white cream thing, but all the trim in the room is white so...I thought it'd match, and I'm not repainting the trim!! HAHA Looking back a natural color wood would have probably worked better, but I bought these well before I had the furniture.
Did not find the fabric. But I got an unbleached muslin so it has little tan flecks in it. It didnt photograph well.
As far as accents on the curtains...tie backs, and that may be it. MAYBE a border out of something, I'm not 100% sure yet. I may just do tie backs that way I can change his "theme" without necessarily replacing the curtains.
I am very pleased with the bedding...I need to take pics, but right now the room is a disaster since I just moved all my sewing stuff in there for ease of use. The bumper pads still need their ties so they arent totally done yet.
I bought THESE which I will paint a cream color, they really dont need painting but the paint will smooth the edges and I bought THESE. They are a thin wood. No idea how I am going to hang them up...any ideas? I thought about hanging the puppy things on a wide ribbon vertically. I also thought about hanging the letters...but they may be thick enough to add a "hang hole" on them.

Psst...Erin... the "s" is upside down in your picture. Be careful to make sure the wider side is at the bottom when you hang them.
One idea with the puppy things is to get a square board, paint it in four different colored quadrants, and mount the wooden shapes in the center of each quadrant.
SIL painted and decorated my niece's name like she was making a scrapbooking embellishment... She added ribbons and bows and stripes. This will give you an idea of what I mean.

Love it, Nicole!! The tone-on-tone brown is so rich looking (both on the interior and exterior.)

I like the exteriors a lot! This is the first color. There is going to be one more color that may be a bit lighter or darker. I guess we will have to wait to find out! I believe ours will be a different color than this one. They want them to look the same so I am thinking just another shade of brown?

Probably, judging from the color palattes they have going on. They are all variations on the same theme.

It looks great Nicole, does Grace love it?
Did you post before pictures? Did I miss them somewhere?

Very cute!! I love it! What are the butterfly pictures in Grace's room? Are they fabric stretched over a frame?
I agree with Kylie about the door frame. If you can't match the door, I would paint it the sme color as the plate rail. Generally in decorating, you keep all woodwork the same color, so the plate rail, crown moulding, door frame, window frame, and baseboards would all be the same color. They don't have to be and sometimes doing something different can be a really beautiful... having them all the same is just a general rule of thumb.
