Details:
- Countertops: M. Teixeira Soapstone Counters: Belvedere (previously known as Cobra B) DH did it himself! What a HUGE job that was, but he’s so meticulous that I knew he’d be up to it. The cut-out for the undermount sink took the longest- 6+ hours. He also had to build up the cabinets a ¼ inch or so to meet the backsplash. Slabs: 84x26, 60x26, 60x26 & 36x26 Picture #9 has two seams in it, can you see them? The original counters were Formica in a speckled gray. They weren’t really that bad, but once I read about soapstone, I knew I wanted it!
- Backsplash: Striped the sealant off the grout, ordered light gray grout colorant from Aqua Mix & re-did the grout (it was the ugliest color). We replaced hideous decorative tiles with Ultra Glas Linen Tiles in Cobalt Blue. I think there may be too many decorative tiles, but we worked with what we had. We also changed the outlets to black & added new switch plates (stainless from HD). I added the most awesome Crosley brushed stainless telephone!
- Sink: We replaced the bisque Kohler cast iron sink with the under mount C-Tech Britannica. It is beyond gorgeous. We made a design decision to install the sink with the drain in the front because we liked it better that way. We reused the Delta chrome faucets we had as we liked the style. I had DH not install the soap dispenser so I would be locked into four holes forever, so we have the three now.
- Lighting: DH did the undercabinet lighting (Xenon) himself & we added a new pendant over the sink. We also replaced the canisters with ones with glass lenses to help keep the heat in. I adore the undercabinet lighting! What a huge difference.
- Appliances: Bosch DW & cabinet depth French Door Jenn Aire refrigerator. We were limited on fridge size with the cabinets already in place, but what a huge difference! The old fridge stuck out 5-6 inches & was bisque. Just by changing the fridge, it seemed we added a foot to the room.
The kitchen is a u-shaped lay-out- a pretty good one with tons of storage. It opens into the dining room which opens to the living room. Three years ago we put in new porcelain tiles in the kitchen and dining room (check out the lovely orangey-pink vinyl tiles it replaced!) and bought a new stainless Frigidaire Professional Series ceramic top stove to replace the rusty, ugly bisque one that we inherited. At that time I also changed the cabinet pulls to a stainless (brushed?) something or other. In the first three pictures you can see how the kitchen was when we moved in-the pink vinyl floor, the filth (DD's wrinkled nose), the cheap, fake brass pulls, the gray formica counters, the dirty grout backsplash & the rusted bisque appliances.
Not counting the floor, we estimate we spent around $9,000.

We did a complete gut remodel of the kitchen and adjacent powder room, adding insulation, new electric, new plumbing, hydronic radiant floor heating which required a new boiler that we needed anyway, new drywall; basically, the works. We enlarged the window above the sink and moved the doorway to the hall that leads to the powder room and to the stairs down to our basement family room.
The original powder room was only 42"x48" and contained a toilet, sink, and radiator. We enlarged the bathroom to 7’x42" and turned the toilet to allow a more useful design. We were also able to remove the radiators freeing up more space.
Total project took 9 weeks with no major problems. There are some things I may have done differently, but overall I’m very pleased with the outcome.

The biggest headache with this was the thing I wanted the most, of course. The ceiling to counter cabinet/drawers. I did it because I hated reaching into the far corners in the old kitchen. It was dead space. This way, I figured I'd have a nice place to display glasses and the drawers, while really shallow, are great for the odds and ends that we accumulate (take-out menus, napkins, gum, etc). The reason this cabinet was a challenge was because no one seemed to know what needed to be installed first -- that cabinet or the counter. Turns out, they needed to install the cabinet b/c while it looks like it rests on the counter, it really doesn't. They slid the counter under it. Also, the bottom drawer needed to be cut to accomodate the backsplash -- something that I happened to notice and mentioned to the cabinet people.
...I lost my pantry, I use one of my two lazy susans (both on either side of the stove) as a pantry.
The entire room is 8x8 and, as you can see, it has a "pony" wall.

http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a397/lsmindstorm/LS_LP_Kitchen/Details:- Cabinets are IKEA Askerum - european ash with a gray stain.
- Cabinet pulls - stainless steel bar pulls are a mix of Siro, Omnia, Sukutsune choosing by the lengths we needed. Also have some Atlas Homeware's Modernist pulls for the tall uppers.
- Counters - Blue Night Granite (basically a black granite with cobalt blue confetti-like irridescent inclusions). We have 30" deep counters over the oven to fit that recess defined by the bumpout in the back of the room. The sink side got the regular 25.5" deep counters as defined by the doorway. 30" counters rock - sort of wish I'd moved the doorway now.
Backsplash - two. On the oven and fridge side, rift cut white oak with 5 or 6 coats of varnish (or sealer or something duly painful to apply). This lives behind the fridge and beneath the top shelf too.
On the sink and stove wall, plate glass backsplash from GlasskoteUSA. This is tempered sheet glass - green glass not the clear starfire.- Stove, oven, dishwasher - Bosch.
- Hood - Gaggenau.
- Fridge - pre-remodel and don't recall manufacturer. It works and doesn't look broken down so it stayed.
- Paint - Halfway mix of Restoration Hardware Silver Sage reduced by half with white paint.
- Stools - Lem from Design Within Reach.
- Room is 10.5x 13.5 + 8 x 5.5.
- Floor is 12" Italian through-body porcelain tile. Its carrara marble-like but porcelain - our floor joists were rated for tile but not for stone else we were going to get Vermont slate.
- French door - Loewen (love this door!).

We haven't found counter stools yet, but there's a 12" overhang in the front of the island. It's supported by 3/8" steel bars, and the two center panels are actually doors to a cabinet. The island is roughly 5' x 8'.
Basically, before the project, this was two rooms, with a wall that lined up where the middle of the hood/range is. Left was the dining room, and the kitchen to the right.
The wall cabs are 13" deep.
The glass-front cabinets house our "company" dishes and various glassware. The 36" wide drawer bases below have everyday dishes, nice flatware, and various trays/bowls/baking dishes.
To the left of the range is a cabinet w/ tray dividers and a 4-drawer stack. Pot and pan drawers (30", 2-drawer stack) are to the right of the range.
The big cab to the L of the fridge has pullout trays. We have another pantry in the laundry room (outside the french door in the other photos), and we haven't worked out what to put in each yet. Drawers to the L of fridge have everyday flatware, punkin gear, and overflow pots/pans. Drawers under microwave have bags/wraps, plastic ware, and colanders/mixing bowls. Above the MW are everyday glassware and misc stuff.
Next is the sink/faucet/DW. Left of the sink (not pictured) are two cabs, one w/ a Rev-a-shelf trash pullout, and the other a skinny one for cutting boards w/ knives in a drawer above.

Details:
- Cabinets: custom-built to my specs, and are of solid maple. The wood was treated with conditioner, then hand stained with Gemini Gem Glo 717 Harvest, then "accented" with Behler shading/glazing stain in Van Dyke Brown, and clear-coated with lacquer. It took me several tries to get this combination to work.
- Countertop: Pavao Verde granite. The granite color was a compromise, as we needed to find a large slab for the long countertop from the door to the corner. Our first choice was Taupe.
- Vent-a-Hood
- two sink faucets are Brizo Floriano 63500-SS & 63510-SS (one is slightly smaller than other)
- pot filler is a Grohe 31041
- micro/convection GE Advantium oven
The design emphasis is on function, as we love to cook. It was important to have everything handy, but not crowed. The total space is conservative (12' x12'), therefore the efficiency of the layout was very important. The work triangle is perfect.
The island cabinet is 40" x 73", and the granite top is 4'-4" x 6'-4" (there's an 11" overhang, where 3 stools will go).
The light fixture is 26" high and 36" long, the clearance height is 31". My wife has a knack for interior decorating, she selected/found all the fixtures (subject to my approval). I installed all electrical and plumbing fixtures, and appliances.
I posted a couple of bathroom photos in the Small House forum, more photos will follow after we finish the exterior (flatwork, front steps, railings/balustrades, shutters, fencing, grass, etc).
For some reason people don't seen to realize that you do not have to mount this model of oven over the range. We needed the clearance for the pot filler, and for the powerful Vent-a-Hood. Besides, we already had experience with the traffic conflict whenever the oven is over the range.
