Disney’s The Little Mermaid, The Lion King and Toy Story are celebrating major anniversaries this year and next. To mark the occasions, Houzz channeled the spirit of each classic animated film with designs for an open-concept kitchen and dining area, plus an adjoining foyer and walk-in pantry, all created with the Houzz Pro 3D Floor Planner — a tool available to Houzz Pro subscribers.
“Creating these spaces was like bringing a cherished childhood memory to life,” Houzz designer Madison Holmlund says. “Every detail, from the color palette to the furniture, was chosen to reflect the timeless charm of a few of Disney’s most celebrated films, while the Houzz Pro 3D Floor Planner made it easy to create three distinct designs for the same great room.”

3. Reclaimed Wood With a Chopping Block
Builder: Nate Lange of Lange Custom Builders
Location: Archbold, Ohio
Size: 300 square feet (28 square meters); 15 by 20 feet
Homeowners’ request. “The vision for this guesthouse kitchen was for it to feel welcoming and laid-back at their sheep and goat ranch,” builder Nate Lange says. “They wanted to use reclaimed materials as much as possible. Most of the reclaimed materials have sentimental value to the family, and they wanted to incorporate the materials into the guesthouse as a way to remember their many memories. They wanted the reclaimed lumber to feel reminiscent of the old days.”
Kitchen island. Reclaimed wood with a chopping block. “The materials used for the island are reclaimed cedar porch posts,” Lange says. “The black granite countertop with leather finish was chosen to complement the black structural brackets used to hold the timbers together in the home. The chopping block at the end of the island was removed from an old factory that had a steel press.”
Other special features. Custom inset cabinets with exposed hinges and painted in yellow (Midday, Sherwin-Williams) and warm green (Dried Thyme, Sherwin-Williams). The structural timbers and ceiling timbers are reclaimed fir and oak from a historical tobacco barn in Pennsylvania. The ceiling panels are pine with a custom polyurethane finish.
Builder tip. “Use what you already have as much as possible and know that memories can be just as valuable as great design,” Lange says.
“Uh-oh” moment. “When we were trying to move the chopping block into the kitchen, we realized it was very heavy,” Lange says. “We wondered, ‘What in the world did we get ourselves into?’ It ended up taking eight people to move it into the kitchen.”
