    Introduction:
    Demo started Oct 2011. 

    We are a young family (2 kids, aged 6 months and 2.5 years at the start of the project) and use our kitchen a lot.  Feeding people is my passion so we needed a kitchen that would function well with better flow and use of space than the previous kitchen.  It also needed to be able to grow with our family, allowing small helpers now who will eventually grow into full sized helpers with full sized appetites and who will bring home friends with full sized appetites!  We want it always ready for action - from the routine daily family meals to the impromptu guests.

    I found the old kitchen very dark and wanted much more light in the space. We wanted a bright, cheery, fun space that fits with our active family.  I also wanted to be able to work there feeling surrounded by calmness and serenity when quiet finally descends on the house (ie when the kids go to bed).  For me that is having a place for everything so the clutter can be kept down, having clean lines, and having finishes that I love.

    The house was already open concept but some structural changes were made including removal of a load bearing post from the kitchen.  In addition to the kitchen it was a complete gut of mainfloor and basement.  The laundry was moved to the main floor from the basement, the previous kitchen cabinets were kept in order to repurpose in a hobby room in the basement in a few years.  The previous fridge was in good condition and kept for extra storage in the basement. There are photos of the other areas of the project in the photobucket account.

     14. Kitchen Additional Comments
    Opinions:    Love my new kitchen!
    LOVES: the RED, soapstone, induction cooktop, drawers drawers drawers, pullout shelves in the pantry cabinet, Kohler Stages + accessories, spice drawer, tapmaster as childproofing for instahot, single level island, vertical divided shelving above fridge for trays/cookie sheets, trash/compost pullout, cutlery and dishes directly across from DW which makes unloading a breeze, Vac-pan 
    DISLIKES: Wish I had sorted out a better solution for the uppers in the corner (too bad I found Garden Web a bit too late!).  I'm not very good with 3D planning and this upper corner is really very non-functional.   Wish I had deeper uppers and a slightly deeper under/rear island storage (12"" cabinets).

    14. Kitchen Additional Comments
     Opinions:    "Happy with the flow.  Love base drawers for pots and pans. Cabinets very easy to clean.  Color choices lend to a calm feeling.  We have limited space and tried to cram in a lot of features. Would have sacrificed smaller upper cabinet and lower pantry pullout to allow for super Susan below instead of blind corner cabinet.  Corner upper easy reach could have been larger.

    Soapstone is a dream though currently having issues with water spots. Plan to touch base with fabricator to work this out. Would not have chosen a different material even if I had known this beforehand. Just love the softness to the touch and vintage feeling it gives to the whole space. "

    • Cabinets-$12,000
    • Soapstone-$4,900
