Modernista's Profile

I'm in the midst of renovating my kitchen as well and I'm thinking of using Ikea Ramsjo in white too. I like how it shows the wood grain through the wash, but I'm concerned about it's pink undertones. Ive read, you can manage it with the lighting. Has anyone seen a white Ramsjo kitchen and have we're the pink undertones staring back at you?

The before looks 70s simplicity to me. Its definitely too dark, could use some brightness and the appliances need upgrading. I would have stuck with the already clean lines, since it is a ranch house and I like a good flow through the house.

The after looks very opulent, over the top, 80s to me with a lot going on in a small space. Like, let's have a "who shot JR?" party. If you want glamour in the kitchen, I would have gone more Kelly wearstler/ palm Springs glam. It would suit the ranch architecture well. You have to be careful going all out with those low ceilings.

But really the most important thing is the owner is happy in her new kitchen. Looks like that was accomplished, so bravo! But I do suggest having the JR party and everyone can break out those glam shoulder padded dynasty dresses from the back of their moms mothball closets. :)
