morton5's Kitchen

Warm Contemporary Kitchen with IKEA Cabinets

Posted by morton5 on Wed, May 27, 09

Link to morton5's kitchen photos

Details:

• Cabinets: Ikea Tidaholm oak in black/brown, and Adel birch in medium brown (in pantry area and planning peninsula). Shaker doors. I chose IKEA because I love their organization systems and their Blum tandembox drawers and glides. I assembled all of the cabinets myself and changed the edgebanding to match the door/drawer fronts. I was kind of excited to find "Made in Italy" stickers on all the Tidaholm doors. My GC's carpenter installed the cabinets. All drawers are full extension with soft close.
• Countertop: Madura Gold granite
• Backsplash: Jeffrey Court's Fire and Ice, enhanced, kashmir grout
• Cabinet Hardware: Hickory Hardware pulls
• Range: Bluestar 36" RNB 6-burner with island trim. The cabinet run on the range wall is pulled out 3 inches. I have a 4" strip of granite behind the range.
• Hood: Futuro Futuro 48" plane (980 cfm) venting through a 6" pipe. Installed 28 3/4in above the range.
• Ovens: GE Monogram Advantium over ZET
• Dishwasher: Bosch Integra 800 series
• Refrigerator: Samsung French door RFG297. We pulled out surrounding cabs to make the fridge look built-in.
• "Kid fridge" 24" LG LRBP1031 in Titanium-- love it! Holds the kids' yogurts, drinks, fruit, ice cream, frozen baked goods, ice packs-- and keeps the kids out of my way. In the same footprint as refrigerator drawers, I got twice the space at half the price. Between the Samsung and the LG, I have almost 40 cu. ft. of refrigerator/freezer space.
• Prep Sink Disposal: compact Badger disposal, the smallest I could find (we are on septic, so it is just used for the odds and ends I don't scoop out of the sink)."
• Faucets: Grohe K4 (prep sink) and Alira (main sink)
• Tapmaster at main sink
• Soap dispensers from Never MT web site
• Sinks: Zero radius, 15 gauge stainless from Ebay-- 30" at main sink and 23" at prep sink
• Table: Oak from reclaimed antique floor joists, from Ebay (barnseeker.com)
• Chairs: Bonded leather from Overstock-- love them
• Floors: Red oak, Refinished and stained Minwax golden oak, 3 coats of oil-based poly
• Lighting: Grundtal lights under the cabinets. I used 3 on an 80" section of horizontal cabs.

I kept my old kitchen light fixture and ceiling fixture. I'm still planning on adding a couple of puck lights to the shelf behind the hood-- I have outlets at the tops of the high cabs, with a switch next to the range.

hollylh's Kitchen

Country Victorian with brick and copper

Contact: hollylh (My Page)
Posted on Fri, Jun 12, 09
Link to hollylh's Gardenweb finished kitchen post
Link to hollylh's kitchen photos

Details:
Dimensions: 8ft 10in (stove run) by 13ft 8in (sink/fridge run, including fridge). Ceilings are 9ft. Island is 33in x 60in.

• Cabinets: Crown Point (uppers, island, oven cab, pantry only), inset Newport door with the arts and crafts rail at the bottom. Ordered my new cabs primed and had them painted on-site only because I was concerned about matching the new cabs with the old base ones.
• Countertops:
  - Perimeter: Uba Tuba, honed
  - Island: Butcherblock
• Backsplash--4'' V-groove beadboard
• Ovens: Monogram
• Hood: custom copper from a local sheet metal shop; innards are Modernaire
• Cabinet Hardware: Restoration Hardware and Van Dyke's
• Paint:
  - Cabinet paint: BM White Dove
  - Wall paint: BM Philadelphia Cream
  - Ceiling paint: BM Harbor Fog
• Windows: Andersen with custom diamonds (whole opening is 61'' long by 53'' high. Each window is 27'' wide)
• Banquette: Ballard's, Waverly fabric from Joann's
• Pot Rack: Williams-Sonoma
• Crown molding: local lumberyard (not CP)

What we did:

• enlarged window
• demo'ed wall which we knew had brick behind it--we were just trying to gain width (we got about 5'') but I also love the look!
• replaced uppers and oven cab and island (Notice the upper cabs are inset but the lowers are frameless. I was very worried about the uppers being inset and the bottoms being full overlay...but it bothers me not at all.)
• reused island to become new peninsula (we cut down the existing top)and converted the cabinets in it to drawers
• honed the granite and removed the 4'' backsplash (it couldn't be honed in place anyway)
• kept the old appliances, except for ovens and hood
• painted everything white
