Niki,

We haven’t had any problems with our shelves, and we have them loaded with dishes and glasses. The heavy duty L brackets in the studs did the trick! Best of luck with your kitchen!

Hi Rachel,

the Cottage Living kitchen by Anne Turner Carroll is a favorite of mine as well! We are raising the cabinets in our kitchen up to ceiling height and installing an under cabinet shelf – wondering where you picked up your shelves and how they’ve done with the weight of dishes and the heat of the kitchen? Any issues so far.

I need to go to a kitchen and bath reno store and see what’s available, but recommendations from tried and true bloggers makes everything easier! thanks in advance :)

I wanted to let you know that my kitchen is now complete and you will notice 2 things inspired by yours!
The barn door and the under cabinet shelf! That shelf is probably my favorite thing in the whole kitchen!!!
You can see it here:

Thanks so much for answering my questions and for the inspiration!!

Hi, Rachel, this is Sam Morgan’s wife – Jacci :) Your kitchen is gorgeous! I can definitely see why anyone would be very, very pleased with how it turned out.

Funny story – Several weeks ago I was putzing around on Etsy and found Lorcum Lane. I immediately recognized the name and knew that it was you and Juliet. So, today I was emailing back and forth a little with Sherry Petersik and I mentioned your business and that you all live in Richmond. Later on in the day, I visited this blog for the first time after googling Lorcum Lane. I cracked up when I realized that this was YOUR kitchen featured on YHL *after* I was just chatting with Sherry about your Etsy business! :) Small, small world. Who knew Sherry and John were featuring kitchens from Accenture DC alumni? Crazy.

Anyway – your kitchen looks fabulous. Sam and I are knee deep in redoing a 1983 eye sore. It *will* be lovely someday ;)

Hope you all are doing really well! I’ll check back in again soon!

XO,
Jacci

ABsolutely! We are actually going to wall off the pantry in the kitchen to give us more room in there, I just posted our artist drawings of the kitchen on my blog today:
http://jencaputo.typepad.com/jen_caputo/2009/07/meet-my-new-kitchen.html
We are moving the opening of the pantry to my craft room and in order to not disrupt my current layout, we wanted a door that could slide behind my EXPEDIT’s.
See my craft room here:

(If you scroll to the second post you should be able to see those Expedits that will have to get pushed all the way to one wall and then the barn door will slide behind them!)
I’m so thrilled to have seen that idea from you because otherwise we would have been stuck re-arranging my room (The contractors said they couldn’t do a pocket door there).
Thanks again for the fab ideas, I’ll definitely be back with the after shots when it’s all done!

Hi Jen,

The quotes for the barn door hardware did not include the door itself, so the quote from your designer sounds about right to me. I’d love to see pictures when its done!!

Me again :)
We decided to go with your barn door idea for our pantry as well and I sent my designer your specs. He quoted me $400 for the hardware and $125 for the door. I just wanted to make sure this was in line with what you paid? I know you said your quotes on the barn door hardware were 400-700 but I wasn’t sure if that included the door or not. does $525 for the whole shebang sound reasonable to you?
