Cabinets Quakermaid Kohn style natural cherry from expo- Refrigerator: Heartland 30 inch
- Oven: Viking 4 burner/convection oven
- Hood: perla by Faber
- Wine refrigerator: Uline
- Floors: red oak
- Countertop: Volga Blue
- Backsplash: Blue glass from architectural ceramics
- Sink: Blanco

- Dishwasher: Integrated Bosch (cant remember model)
- Paint in eating area: I used Ralph Lauren suede paint but had the guy at Home Depot mix it to one of the colors in the Glidden color palate (using their formula) since I could not find a Ralph Lauren color I wanted. I believe the color is Twin Falls. I painted the room using the suede technique.
Finally my kitchen is done--just a few details left, need to get a new table, chairs, blinds. But here it is--months and months of waiting!
I do have additional lights down the middle in addition to those on the soffit. I would have prefered to eliminate the soffit but unfortunately had ducts there.

I was asked to post a link to my kitchen here. I wasn't even smart enough to know this gallery was here. I've heard mention of the gallery before, but my mind just skipped over that word and kept on going.

Great Kitchen, Alan. Lots of original detail. Thanks for posting with the bigger pics!
Could you please tell me how big is your microwave cabinet, width and depth? I wanted one with a door, but since tambor doors were the only option, I decided on an 18" deep open shelf.

Great kitchen, I know you are enjoying it.
RE: TheCabinetMaker's Kitchen
I was a little tight for space along this wall so I decided to replace my old microwave for a new cheap one from Wal-Mart. I only use the microwave to defrost small cuts of meat on occasion so it is plenty large enough for my purposes. I ended up with a 19" wide cabinet 15" deep. If I remember correctly, I would have needed a 24" wide cabinet 15" deep to fit my old microwave which was a pretty common size.

RE: TheCabinetMaker's Kitchen
laurifree,
I figured the best way to handle your question was to update the website. Check it again. I put in a description of the glass plus a link to the artisan who did my ironwork.

Weegie,
Your house is gorgeous! You all did a great job. Can you get a close-up pic of your granite in the kitchen? I'm trying to decide what I want in mine! :-)
RE: Weegie's Kitchen
- Posted by: weegie (My Page) on Wed, Sep 10, 03 at 17:01
| OK, I've added a close-up picture of my granite to the website. I think it is VERY hard to photograph granite. Reflections and lighting are an issue, and it somehow doesn't really look like it does in real life. But perhaps you can get an idea of its appearance from the picture. I wasn't even sure I wanted granite, but I do love mine (in fact, I liked it so much that I also used it for the surrounds on my fireplaces). I've found it very easy to care for, and this particular granite doesn't show anything. Thanks for your nice comments. |

RE: Weegie's Kitchen

| Thank you all for the kind comments. I live in Dallas now, but I grew up in Atlanta. I'd like to think my house reflects that Southern heritage. My back porch was inspired by an L-shaped porch on a place my family calls "The Old House." It's in South Georgia and was built in the 1860's. No one has lived there for many years (it barely has indoor plumbing, and the porch I love connects the kitchen building to the main house). We've celebrated Thanksgiving there with extended family (potluck dinner) for as long as I can remember. Sometimes we have over 200 people attend. My cabinets were built by a local custom cabinetmaker. I saw a picture in a kitchen designer magazine of the style, and I had them "antiqued" by painting them, rubbing stain over the paint then wiping it off with steel wool. The granite is called Blue Tapestry. I found it in Atlanta when I was home in April at a place called G&L Marble. I didn't think I wanted granite until I saw this one. Now I wish I'd used it in the whole kitchen! It's really much easier to maintain than the Cameo White Corian that's on the perimeters of the kitchen. That Corian shows everything; I'm becoming a slave to it. Someone told me this granite is similar to Blue Barracuda, but I never found any Blue Barracuda in Dallas to compare. |

| I had a great time looking through your albums. Sush a pretty house. I do love your granite. What is the paint color of your living room? Is the entry hall the same color or something different? I really like your color choices. Pam |
RE: Weegie's Kitchen
- Posted by: weegie (My Page) on Thu, Sep 11, 03 at 10:28
| Most of the paint colors in the house are from Martin Senour's Williamsburg palette. The color in the entry hall, living room, kitchen and breakfast room is Wythe House Gold Light. |

| I liked the house a lot. I was also interested in the counter brackets. Were they custom-made? I would have liked to get something like that for my own counter but could not find anything. I have metal brackets, which I do like but want to know more about yours. |
RE: Weegie's Kitchen
- Posted by: weegie (My Page) on Sat, Sep 13, 03 at 10:47
| The house took about 10 months start to finish. We did have some delays early on because of rain. The bed in the master bedroom is a Henkel-Harris pencil post. The blue and white tiles I got at Antique Floors in the Decorative Center here in Dallas. I can't find the manufacturer's name right now, but I will keep looking for it. The cabinet man supplied the brackets, so I'm guessing they were custom made. They're a pretty simple design, though, so I bet any carpenter could replicate them. Thank you all for your kindness. You have made my day! Special thanks to Beths96 who encouraged me to post my pictures here in the gallery. |

I am so new to this digital picture thing. Hope this works. Thanks for all the great advice and support; this forum has been a wonderful experience. We're almost done with the exception of picking out tile for our backsplash. The pics aren't the greatest, but should give you an idea of the results. Any suggestions for tile? We're thinking of a stone-like tile with a few inserts. I don't want to get too crazy as there is a lot going on in this room. We're also thinking of adding a very subtle brown glaze over the gold wall color. If anyone knows how to simplify my link, please let me know!!

It is truly beautiful. I love the cabinets, lots of character. You did an amazing job of concealing the appliances. I agree, keep the tile simple and the glaze would look nice as well. Congrats and enjoy!

RE: Wendy's Kitchen

| Thank you--the granite on the sink side is pietra imperial. It's hard to get, and they didn't have enough of it, hence the solid black on the island. I would have used the pietra everywhere if I could have. And I just love having a big sink! |

RE: Wendy's Kitchen
- Posted by: chardon (My Page) on Thu, Jan 16, 03 at 20:06
| Thanks val. It's so funny, but so many people discouraged me from pine. It's not everyone's taste; either you love it or hate it. It is a softer wood, but I went with a distressed look figuring the added dings would be less noticeable! The cabinets are the Essex style from Woodmode with inset doors. We did some beaded doors to add interest. I always wanted pine--this was my dream kitchen too! |
RE: Wendy's Kitchen
- Posted by: Mahnrut (My Page) on Thu, Jan 16, 03 at 21:40
| Lovely cabinets, pine was our first choice but we got disuaded because of potential damage. Your kitchen is large though whereas with ours we have minimum gangways etc. You have done a great job though and it needs little else; the stone backsplash sounds a good idea though. Enjoy! |

val |
RE: Wendy's Kitchen
- Posted by: chardon (My Page) on Fri, Jan 17, 03 at 9:55
| LOL...the Cluny is the model name of the Lacanche range I purchased. Have no idea why they call it a Cluny! Sounds English, but it's a French range. It's the 40" two oven style. Two votes for keeping the walls their current color. My walls in my two-storyfoyer adjacent to the kitchen are a very pale yellow; I just worried it might be too much yellow. But maybe the tile backsplash and some colorful accessories would downplay that. The painter we were using recommended the glaze, but of course they want to make money! |

Thanks for all the wonderful compliments. MJ-The chairs were purchased from Hawley's Billiards, but the same chairs can be purchased from JC Penney's on line for $100 less (a poster helped me out here and I got the Penney's price!). They are called "Normandy" and are wood with a swivel base, and have the cutest legs on them!
Claire--can't wait to replace my sorry pans with the Bourgeat! Thanks for all your help.
Swissmiss-the hood is a Vent-a-hood. It's the liner type, and the GC just drywalled around and added the moldings. Still drying to decide if I want to faux paint on it or just add a plate rack to display pottery pieces! We have some pretty corbels to add under the hood once the tile is in (ok, once I pick it out!) Congrats on the Volnay. What color did you get? |
RE: Wendy's Kitchen
- Posted by: weed30 (My Page) on Fri, Jan 17, 03 at 13:21
| Great kitchen! I never knew pine could look that nice! I love the F&P DD's with their matching fronts. I think the wall color looks terrific, but if you decide to try the glaze, I suggest painting a piece of scrap drywall with the wall color and testing the look of the glaze there first. Ethan is a little doll :) |
RE: Wendy's Kitchen
- Posted by: chardon (My Page) on Fri, Jan 17, 03 at 16:59
| Thanks Weed--your kitchen is also quite amazing. It's funny how many styles you can really love--makes it hard to decide, doesn't it?! The painters I work with usually do up several large sample boards before I give the greenlight, but it's still so hard to visualize an entire room. If I do it, I want it to be subtle as I do like the current color. I might wait until I choose tile and see how I feel about it then. (Couldn't help sneaking in that pic of Ethan!) |
RE: Wendy's Kitchen
| I like your kitchen as is-- without the stone-like tile backsplash that it seems everyone has. That's my suggestion, odd as it is, I guess. I like your wall color now in the back splash area. My route is going to be to minimize bachsplash to only areas where it is necessary for practicality, and then do something- anything- besides stone-like tile. |

So pretty, Wendy. The Lacanche is just one of the highlights.
I was waiting to see your kitchen because you mentioned your kitchen had pine cabinets, black countertops and the black lacanche, much like I'm considering. I'll probablly get soapstone countertops and my cabinets/paneling has larger, more retro (dated) knots. I'm now thinking I should post some pics for help because I am unable to decide on anything (appliances, colors, sink, etc.) and I'm floundering and the remodel begins in a month... |
RE: Wendy's Kitchen

chardon, I'm ashamed to say I can't figure out how to post pics. I have a digital camera (Kodak Easy Share) which is totally dope-proof but I don't know what to do from there. I can email pics using the software, but when I read instructions on how to post pics it is as if they are written in a foreign language.
Do you or anyone else know of a site/way for a computer illiterate to learn how to post pics? I'd be very grateful for any guidance!!
Ps Your family is beautiful, too. I hope you don't think me too odd... Perhaps it was your user name and some remnant from my limited high school french but I had you pictured as some grand french dame; not the young mother and wife I now imagine that you are. |
RE: Wendy's Kitchen

| Rosyjennifer-I too am "digitally challenged." Don't know if this will help...my DH first loaded my pc w/software my camera came with. Then we connected the camera to the pc which created a new E drive & folder with the pics. I saved this folder to my C drive. After that, I went to picturetrail.com which was recommended by other posters (that was the easier part). It gives pretty simple instructions that even I could follow! Thanks for your compliments! Gosh...I am a French Country fanatic, but hardly a grand dame! Chardon is where I live. It's a "subrural town" with horses and a maple festival LOL. Hope you can post your pics now, if not email me and I'll have my DH type up some instructions if mine don't work! |

Thanks for the lead, Chardon. I'll take the photos tomorrow and see if I can get them to work with your suggestions. It's been 20 yrs since my HS french, but I think chardon has some sort of botanical connection. I can't remember my teacher's name, but this I remember...
Your kitchen has the elegance of French Country... I think mine is leaning toward Ozark hunting shack (except for the lacanche)! Pray the pics load and I can get some help!! : ) |

Looks like there is a slight reveal. Do you like that? What brand sink and what kind of reveal did they recommend? Also, is it easy to keep clean??? Thanks! |

Thank you all! The sink is Kohler and I love it--no regrets. Initially I had wished it was deeper, but now that I've adjusted to it, I like it just fine. The granite actually extends past the sink slightly. I had asked my GC to copy a pic I saw in a magazine. It is very easy to clean. I just use soft scrub. However, I'm going crazy looking for a rubber mat large enough for the bottom. Any ideas?
Psand--are you talking about the lighting over the island or the fixture over the kitchen table? The island lights are from Kalco. I'd have to dig to remember the other one. |

Susan--The fixture is made by Minka-Lavry. I'm excited about being able to change the looks of it. It has crystal globes of different sizes that sit in the basket and crystal droplets that can all be removed. So I could put dried flowers or silk flowers in the basket in spring or Christmas ornaments in them over the holidays! Lots of fun. I've had a great time using the grill on the Cluny. I use to put my steaks under the broiler. Now I sear them on the grill and put them in the oven--they come out great. Sorry I don't know much about the Fontenay pricing or the Char grill option--sounds intriguing. I didn't know they had any such animal! Keep me posted if you charge ahead on the range!
Thanks Gairmo (Sue)! We are enjoying it immensely! |
RE: Wendy's Kitchen
Hi Wendy, I absolutely *love* your kitchen!
DH & I want beaded front doors and drawers as well, but I'm reluctant to put them everywhere. We were noticing how nicely you mixed the beaded with the plain front doors! How did you decide where to use the beaded and where to hold back? |

| So funny I'm checking this at 11:16 pm. Was looking to see if anyone was posting new pics (still in a tile choice dilemma and hoping for ideas). Glad I saw your post--honestly, I worked with the kitchen designer/owner at my local Wood Mode dealer. She was great. We agreed you can go too far in over-decorating. Oddly enough, we looked at the blue print together and pretty much agreed on what was the right mix. Actually, I almost thought to go painted on my pantry, but held back. Seemed to be enough going on already. So now I have the same quandry with tile. Will post new pics when I decide on that!! |

| Gorgeous! Right out of Architectural Digest. Excellent job. I love the architectural elements in the kitchen. I loved that fixture over the table as soon as I saw it, even before I read how you can change it with the seasons. Take a bow; you did a super job. |

| Wendy-Zolablue sent me to see your kitchen. It's fantastic. I'm an "owner-in-waiting" for a Sully. Your Cluny looks great. How high above your range is your hood? Thanks. Deb |

| Wendy: I really love your kitchen, hope you are still enjoying it! I wanted to ask you if you know about how big your table is in your eating area. I love the fixture over it, and was trying to compare the size of your table to the round one that I have. I really would love to replace the ugly brass one that i now have. Also, do you remember what brand your hot water dispenser is? I love the shape of it! Thanks so much for any help you can give! Carolyn in Bama |
