| Very nice! I like the way the ridged cabinets echo the glass inserts (or vice versa). I LOVE the backsplash; are those glass or ceramic tiles? And when you say doing it was "time-consuming" does that translate into "ate up every spare second and never seemed to end" or something else? LOL. Because I *really* want to do something similar (if not in the kitchen then in the bathroom). Oh--and could you give your source for the tile? Thanks! Enjoy it after you recover! |

| Looks terrific! I like mixed countertop materials because it gives kitchens a more interesting look. I also love the ridged cabinet fronts. Only a month! I've been in my house for 11 years and I'm still waiting to get the energy to tackle my kitchen.... |

| The backsplash is glass, we bought it at EXPO, 25% off. It is an Italian company (Bisazza), the tiles come on paper, you have to place them on the wall with the paper side out, so you can not see your lines to stay level, and we had to hand cut all the tiles at the tops and bottoms, so it slow going, actually 2 of us (me & hubby) laid it all in one long 10 hr day, then 1 more day to grout it. It was the only time in the whole house remodel that we got on each others nerve.. But it's also my favorite part. LOL |

| Great kitchen. I am in the middle of remodel and can hardly wait to post my final photos. Great that you did so much yourselves. I also have a Wolf range and have been having trouble with appliance people about the riser. I wanted a 20" riser with shelf, but they say you can't have one with rangetop. I note that you have a riser with fold down shelves. Do you know if they are separate? And, PLEASE post more photos of your lovely kitchen so we can see the overall picture :-) |

| Most excellent! I also admire the use of mixed countertop materials. Very personalized, attractive and functional. And that tile backsplash ... what can I say ... stunning! I might consider something like that for my kitchen, based on how nice it looks in yours. |

| Your cabinets look great! Are you happy with Ikea? We are also do-it-yourselfers and bought Ikea cabinets after much research for something in our price range. They seem like nice quality for such a low price. Ours arrived last week so we have not begun to assemble yet. Any words of wisdom or problems we should be aware of before we begin? I hope ours turn out as nice as yours! |

| Wonderful kitchen! I love those tiles and the butcher block! Great job on the tiling! Have you seen how some people sponge paint the outlet covers in the tile backsplash so they blend in? That would look great with those colors! I also love the cabinets, I haven't seen those before! Enjoy! Cathie |
