Somersby and more

• 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.
