We switched the locations of our former family room and kitchen. Where the fireplace used to be is now where my kitchen sink is!
Countertop: I like the honed surface very much. I was very tempted to get soapstone, but in the end, decided there were too many issues for me. The honed surface seems to be wearing very well, after about three months of use. One of my contractors couldn't believe how I wanted this "scratched up counter"! If you look closely, the honing does give the impression of little scratches, but the overall impression is of a smooth, satin finish.

- We used the IKEA Lansa handles on our doors. They come in 2 options, 17 1/2" or 9 5/8." Our upper cabinets are only 30", but have an extra 12" horizontal cabinet on top of that. We used the 17 1/2" on all the cabinets (except for a tiny glass cabinet) and alternated the short and long handles where they fit on the drawers. We placed the upper cabinets handles 3" from the bottom and the bottom cabinets 3" from the top. We centered the handles on the drawer fronts.

I had the idea of a trash cabinet for over a year; I drag my trash around the kitchen with me so didn't want the regular pullout. My original idea was to build a frame on rollerblade wheels and have 'trash on wheels', but it is so easy to just drag the can (probably wouldn't if I had a wood floor) that I gave up on the wheel idea. My cabinet maker thought I was nuts and pointed out he'd have to build a custom toekick onto the door. I hadn't thought of that previously--it cuts into the space a bit.

This space had built built as a diner in 1954. By 1989 it was a romantic French restaurant. We lived on the second and third floor.
Turning this into our kitchen and living/family space was quite a challenge. All that we saved was the large window in front and parts of the floor.
Our idea was to use the beautiful 3 dimensional negative space as the controlling design element. We turned the restaurant door into a window and uncovered six windows in back that had been covered over by the restaurant.
The kitchen is an "L" with an oversized 13'x3' island. Flow would be more efficient if we cut the island in two, but my wife prefers it this way. We entertain rarely, but when we do, the layout is perfect. We often have two people working in the kitchen; and when we do we appreciate the 48" passages around the island. There is plenty of room for two or more chefs.
A couple we lent the space to for their wedding reception, served a sit-down meal for 93 people!
We have a very large work triangle. It is slowly teaching us to plan our workflow better.
Work is still in progress, as you can see by the open sheetrock in various places.

Incidentally, the house is 110 years old; late-Victorian in style, with never-painted gumwood in most of the rooms. The cherry we chose looks amazingly like it truly belongs in the house. And -- in the demolition process, we were amazed to find absolutely beautiful matchstick wainscotting that had been hidden probably for 40 years behind ugly particle board paneling. We had always been afraid to remove the paneling for fear on problems that might lie beneath. The wainscotting had a medium dark stain on it, but we painted it to match the rest of the woodwork so it would not fight with the cherry cabinets.
Previously, there was a window above the sink, but we redesigned it with the half circle at the top and we are amazed at how much more light it provides.
