Details:

• Cabinets custom built by AYR Cabinetry out of Nappanee Indiana (they ship country wide). They're a mix of maple and Cherry with walnut accents. A shameless plug for them - they were FANTASTIC to work for, nothing was impossible and I don't have a single filler or wasted inch in the entire kitchen!
• All new custom cabinets (slab doors) in 3 finishes (maple, cherry and walnut) with mortise-and-tenon cabinet frames and French dovetailed, hand-fitted drawers and catalyzed hand wiped finishes. All cabinet backs are 1/2" and all shelves are 3/4"
• Custom color finishes to match (eyes downcast) laminate chips whose colors I liked together
• Boxes are all maple and the inside stain is the same as all the other maple even where the doors are cherry
• Nearly all drawers in the base cabinets except for corner units, under the sinks and trash. Drawer depths were 100% customizable to fit the contents. (HD could not accommodate this)
• Panels for the fridge, freezer and two dishwashers
• Two way trash pullout accessible from both sides of the island (HD could not accommodate this)
• Pullout pantry tower with toe kick release
• Angled pantry cabinet with two doors
• Angled base cabinet and angled upper display cabinet
• Angled corner cabinet
• 30" deep cabinets in the base and ALL the space is usable as custom made drawers go all the way back
• 15" deep upper cabinets
• Spice drawer with "hidden drawers" above to maintain line of drawers visually
• Bread drawer with Plexiglas cover
• Glass inset doors on some of the uppers with glass shelves in those cabinets
• Wine glass rack in upper cabinet
• 4 Toe kick drawers
• Custom-made can storage drawers
• Soft close Blum blumotion drawer guides on every drawer
• Soft close on all the doors
• 5 Custom cherry/walnut intarsia doors
• 2 Magic Corner II units
• 2 tilt outs under sink
• Tray storage above ovens deep enough to hold trays in double depth
• two hidden cutting boards that pop out - one next to the fridge and one above the microwave
• Instead of a cabinet filler, I also have a small area where I store a step stool. The door from the trash cabinet was made wider to cover this storage area.
• 3 cm granite – Marona Cohiba - gorgeous, with floating bar and custom stainless steel corbels
• Plugmold which we installed on angled trim
• Miele all refrigerator and all freezer - originally GE Monogram but we had huge issues so we replaced them with Miele units.
• Plumbing to move freezer water line
• De Dietrich induction cooktop from Salon Blue Ridge (fantastic to work with)
• Miele Double ovens with tray cabinet above
• Futurofuturo hood with 900 cfm,
• Relocated every appliance except fridge. Put separate freezer in butler’s pantry
• Relocated cleanup sink and installed prep sink,
• Ran water supply and drain for a prep sink,
• Built out a butler’s pantry into the garage space
• 2 Miele dishwashers (one was our old one which we repanelled and the new one is the Optima
• Sharp Microwave drawer,
• Kludi(prep) and eBay faucet (Cleanup)
• Blanco Sigranite sinks
• Water chiller and instant hot dispenser and tank
• Dual hot/cold water faucet
• 4 built in soap dispensers Delta Brizo
• 2 air switches
• Dual tapmaster works prep sink from both sides of island
• Tapmaster for clean up sink
• Recessed lighting as well as pucks in the upper cabinets,
• Undercabinet lighting,
• Custom glass island light pendants,
• 21 knobs and 60 pulls in stainless steel
• 1 Soho Manhandle – a total splurge!!
• Moved and replaced the kitchen window
• Moved the sliding patio door and rebuilt the concrete step on the patio
• Custom can storage (the two upper drawers are hidden behind the lower one so it lines up with all the other drawers)
• Pot hanger
• My absolute fav cabinet - the pullout pantry next to the ovens. It holds the Tupperware containers perfectly and when I pull it out I have EVERYTHING I need for baking right at my fingertips
• Cab above the ovens. It's 30" deep and holds SOOOO much
• Pot drawers
• Corner unit
• Two way trash pullout
• Toe kick drawers
• Cleanup area and fridge
