Details:

• Cabinets: custom; made with formaldehyde free plywood (i had not contemplated custom until i read here that sometimes they come in at and below national brands)
• Counters: Carrara marble (I love them, nobody could talk me out of them; they etch, but i have had no problems with staining)
• Backsplash: the subway tile is from a local tile store, I'm not sure what brand, and the grout is a light grey color.
• Floors: Southern Wood Floors engineered pine;
• Sinks: Franke; the apron sink is 30" and is white
• Faucets: Blanco
• Stools: industrial from some online place; i already had 2 martha stewart ones from years ago, and ordered the gray ones and had them painted at an auto body shop to match the other 2 i had
• Lights: urban archaeology
• Paint: BM lime sorbet on walls; Simply White on cabinets
• white tin canisters are from Martha Stewart, I soooo miss her catalog!
• ceiling is beaded board that was custom made by our contractor out of the same formaldehyde free plywood that he used to make the cabinets.
  
• windows and doors are Jeld-Wen, I believe; the window was doubled in size from the old one, and the french doors replaced sliders.
• jadeite punch bowl.
• fridge is Kenmore. It was not a new purchase. I do love it, though. It has plenty of room and I love having the freezer drawer in the bottom. The glass front cabinet is 9" deep. I have bar glasses below and it is across from the beverage fridge, so it all flows and functions very well.
  
• hardware -for the life of me, I cannot remember where I got my hardware, but I think it came from 2 different places online.
  

We have an old house; the original structure dates back to the 1800's, and it was expanded over the years. The structure that you see in the back is an old carriage house.

Somersby and more

Contact: tuckturn (My Page)
Posted on Sat, Jan 5, 08
Link to kitchen photos: http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii306/tuckturn/Home07/

Details:

• DIY
• Cabinets: Somersby cabinet, cherry "nutmeg" finish, Lia door style.
  (Ordered from buycabinets.com and saved thousands of dollars compared to Diamond brand (virtually identical product)).
• Countertop: "Verde Marinace" granite. To us it feels like the riverbed of a Yosemite stream in spring.
• Backsplash: full backsplash is also "Verde Marinace" granite. ????? The short backsplash: We prefer it over full backsplash since we want see softer and warmer feel of painted wall with a custom color.
• Flooring: Bolivian rosewood floor
• Appliances:
  - Thermador 36" Harmony Pro all gas range w/ griddle
  - Thermador 42" PH hood with 1400cfm remote blower
  - Jenn Air diswasher
  - Sharp over-the-counter microwave
  - KitchenAid warming drawer (the lower right drawer in this picture is actually the warming drawer - it's hidden behind a regular wood drawer front.)
  - Magic Chef 24" wine cooler
  - Sharp Microwave, the height is ~14", and the wall cabinet above it is 24" high while the ones beside are 36" high. since our wall cabinets are 18" above the countertop, so the microwave is 16" above, or 2" closer.
  - we decided to replace our 7 year old white Kenmore fridge later
• Skylight: we hired a contractor to install the 2x4 skylight on the roof, but I built the tunnel after that.
• Faucets: both are Danze in brushed nickle
• Wall paint: The orange color is HomeDepot Behr color "Indian Paintbrush" to match the cabinet and countertop.
• Pendant lights: from lightinguniverse.com. The brand is "Forte" but don't remember the model#. I paid around $100 for all three.
• Bay window: Milguard vinyl bay window, size 6'x3.5', about 18" deep.
• Bay window sill: again Verde Marinace granite
• Glass doors: custom made by a shop in Ohio (found in internet, forgot the name). We chose the green inserts in the middle, trying to match the counter top color.

Details:

• Cabinets: custom. The doors, are, get this, and dont be dissapointed, MDF. With a Rift Cut White Oak veneer laid on top, with matching edgebanding, all nicely sealed. All plywood boxes, with Baltic birch plywood for all the drawers. The MDF does not warp like some flat panels do.
• Countertop: Silestone Blanco Maple (gloss, not leather) countertops
• Backsplash: tumbled marble backspash
• Appliances: Sub Zero, Wolf, Diva, and Asko.
• Sink: Blanco Steelart sink
• Faucet: Piani faucet. It is wicked. This was a hard thing for us both to decide on, probably the toughest purchase. It has dual spray, magnetic head, and we LOVE it!
• Brew Express built in coffee machine (awesome)
• Floor: dura ceramic floor (heated, another nice touch)
• top of the line slides for the drawers. The name is slipping me, but my cabinet maker said there were the best I could get !
• Insinkerator
• Under cab lighting
• Some really nice touches on the pull out pantry
• Sliding cutlery trays built into the cabs!!

http://i25.tinypic.com/hwh3qq.jpg

Details:

• Cabinets: Ikea Lidi (painted white MDF doors.) and Ikea Liljestaad (brown)
• Countertops:
  Perimeter counter: 18 gauge SS over 1.5" plywood substrate
  Island counter: 1.75" lyptus edge grain from Devos Woodworking
  Mommy Command Center counter: Carrara Marble
• Backsplash: Subway Ceramics (White #10)
• Floor: Red Oak natural hardwood
• Stools: Saloom
• Table and chairs: Crate & Barrel (to be replaced)
• Pendant light: Schoolhouse Electric
• Can lights: 50w low voltage
• Undercabinet lights: Xenon
• Refrigerator: Kitchen Aid 48" Architect
• Oven: Kitchen Aid Superba 30" double convection (purchased on craigslist for $1,000--old but never used)
• Cooktop: Dacor (LOVE IT!!)
• Vent Hood: Kobe
• Sink: Blanco SS drop-in
• Dishwasher: Amana (to be replaced)
• Cottage Window: Pella Architect Series (Oversize)

We swapped the old kitchen and dining room spaces for the new eat-in space and new kitchen, respectively. We cut the opening next to the wine rack, and closed the wide arch in the renovation pictures (which is the sink backsplash now). This relocated the old path from the stairs and the foyer to the kitchen, which required walking through the entire length of the living room and the kitchen, to a direct route that does not require entering the living room at all. As to our look, we strove for a classic nouveau white kitchen with an institutional edge. We chose Ikea cabinets to make the project financially feasible. We really wanted Plain & Fancy white inset shaker cabinets. The estimate on those cabinets alone was more than the cost of this entire renovation, with appliances!!

The lyptus is very hard, but open-grained. I was somewhat worried about staining with the open grain, but it hasn't been a problem. I finish it with 100% tung oil thinned with Citrus Solvent from time to time. I have dripped everything from Balsamic vinegar to red wine to chocolate syrup, and it all wipes up clean without leaving a stain.

White cabinets, black countertop, walnut floor

Contact: brosamj (My Page)
Posted on Mon, Jan 7, 08
Link to kitchen photos: http://www.photobucket.com/albums/ee197/brosamj/

Details:

• Cabinets: Shaker cabinets, cameo cream finish
• Countertops: Cambrian Black Antiqued granite. It has the dull appearance with a texture to it. From what I understand, they acid wash it to give it the texture and we love the look and feel of it. We have had ZERO problems with fingerprints showing up on it which has been very nice.
• Backsplash: Travertine; one inch squares mixed in with red and black glass and brown and black smoked glass
• Asian Walnut 3/4", 5 inch planks
• GE Cafe Microwave
• GE Cafe dual fuel range
• Samsung Quattro Refrigerator
• Kenmore Elite Dishwasher
• Sink: 36" Copper Sink (coppersinksonline.com). I wasn't sure what if going with a copper sink was the way to go, but it has been my favorite thing in the kitchen. I love watching water in it and I love cleaning it (very easy to clean). They are beautiful sinks and I am so glad we went large and single bowl too.
• Faucet: Hansgrohe Metro faucet
• 14x14 copper sink in the island
• Price Pfister faucet on the island
• Pendants: Hendrik 3475 pendant lights over the island. It is a stainless steel with frosted glass. http://www.lightinguniverse.com/products/view.aspx?family=204484&linkLoc=viewBought

Details:

• Cabinets: custom; cream with a pewter glaze
  
• Countertop: Seafoam Green granite. There is no enhancer on it, just the stone with sealer. Edge is "single ogee".
• Double oven is by Kitchen Aid. It is a convection oven on top.
• Flooring: distressed engineered hardwood, the color "dutch chocolate"
• table: from a small furniture store called Legends
• Lighting: chandelier is from Kichler Lighting group - "6 light incandescent chandelier" in old bronze finish. I would recommend a dimmer switch on it. From the Great Indoors.
• Disguised soffits
  

We knocked down 2 walls....the one between the tiny old kitchen and the dining area and another between the family room and dining area. We also moved out about 4 feet into our side yard. Not much but it made a huge difference. So it is one big room now, who uses their formal dining room anyway!!! I tried to make the dining area nice enough for entertaining but informal too! The cabinets are cream with a pewter glaze. I don't know about the soffits (whats a soffit again? :)) The island has 3 drawers and 2 huge cabinets where the big items...crockpot etc fit nicely
