Details:

• Cabinets: custom alder cabinets (all plywood), painted BM Simply White
• Countertops: Delirium granite
• Refrigerator: GE Profile 22 cu ft
• Range: Electrolux slide in electric EW30ES65GS
• DW: Electrolux
• OTR Micro: Electrolux (because the Panasonic one to replace our favorite microwave wasn't going to be available in time.)
• Hardware: Stainless bar pulls from yourhomesupply.com
• Sink: Ticor S112
• Faucet:Grohe Ladylux
• Floors: Bellawood prefinished 2 1/4" natural oak
• Undercabinet lights: Kichler Xenon
• Recessed lights: all 4100K fluorescent
• Message board: The whole thing is only 3" deep. The cork in the door is just a 1/4" thick corkboard tile.
• Paint: "Canvas Cloth" from ICI

Background:The kitchen is 9'3" wide by 9'8" long, so it's not a big space, but it's amazing how much bigger it seems with white cabinets and without that gigantic pantry cupboard blocking the view. The peninsula is 48" long from the wall, leaving me with a little over 36" for the walkway.

This was almost completely diy within the family. My dad's a general contractor and was invaluable to the overall process. My uncle, also a GC, built the cabinets and did the granite. In the space of a week and a half we did all the demo, lighting, electrical, a little plumbing, flooring install, sheetrock patching, painting, cabinets, granite etc. The only thing I hired out was having the sheetrock taped, floated and textured, I know my limits! Because of this, and the powers of the internet for finding deals, the total cost was only $15,000 for everything including appliances.

Cabs Wall > 36in High
