Details:

• Cabinets: Showplace Wood Products; "Breckenridge" door style, in maple; "Antique Soft Cream with Ivory Glaze" finish. Seeded glass. Bun feet.
  I LOVE the under-cabinet molding (trim) on the wall cabinets... I think it's my favorite "small detail". Really made a HUGE difference in looking "finished". Some of the best $200 we spent in the whole project!!! ;o)
• Countertop: Granite is Santa Cecelia Light, slabs hand-picked at Mont Granite in Solon, OH.
• Sink: Blanco 1 3/4 bowl silgranit sink in color "Biscuit"

  ~ KitchenAid french door fridge, model #KBFS20ETSS01. Counter depth
  ~ KitchenAid D/W, model #KUDC03FVSS0.
  ~ we reused our KitchenAid disposer, it was new

  ~ Dining room walls: SW Ivoire, velvet finish.
  ~ Crown molding and trim (both rooms): SW semi-gloss white.
  ~ Ceiling (both rooms): SW basic flat white.
• Hardware: You savvy GW'ers will no doubt notice that we reused the hardware from the old kitchen. ;o) We bought it not too long ago when we gave the old kitchen a little "face-lift", with full intention to re-use it when we remodeled.
• Barstools: purchased locally for WAY CHEAP! ($100 for all three!) (I ">hope to replace my table, chairs and bar stools in the not-so-distant future.
• Gel-Pro mat, color: Truffle

• TV: "by D:sign" from Walmart for about $100
• "Bon Appetit" lettering above the window: matte black vinyl graphic purchased from eBay (under $20!)
• Coffeemaker: the new Keurig coffee maker. Our "Coffee Corner" with new "Fresh Java" sign.

Do It Yourself: One of the FEW parts of our DIY project that we did NOT do ourselves was the hanging/installing of the cabinets. We had the professional installer from the kitchen design company do that for us.
Kitchen design by The Kitchen Village, Corry & Erie, PA.
Kitchen design complements our 1600 SF Cape Cod home (built in the 50's).
The step-up "shelf" behind the sink was added for interest and to kinda balance out the step-up bar at the opposite side of the room.
