mmhmmgood's Kitchen

White Kitchen with Red Island and Soapstone


Details from mmhmmgood on 9/13/2012

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).

Details:
  • Cabinets: custom made by Melo Woodworking, a local Toronto company (no web site!). Maple wood stained, painted, distressed and glazed by Homestead House. Colours used were Tapestry for the perimeter cabs and Cartier for the island. They did an amazing and painstaking job.
  • Countertops: "Java Black" soapstone counters by N&G Soapstone . The island countertop is made from reclaimed red oak planks.
  • Backsplash: Walker-Zanger Antequera Random Mini Brick
  • Appliances:
    • Liebherr RBI 1400 24" all-fridge with Biofresh
    • TurboChef double ovens, with custom RAL 3011 red oven door
    • BlueStar 36" cooktop with centre grill
    • Custom Modern-Aire hood, 1000 cfms
    • Miele Excella full dishwasher
    • Fisher Paykel single Dishwasher Drawer
    • Double SubZero freezer drawers
  • Sinks:
    • Main sink: apron front farmhouse soapstone sink from N&G Soapstone
    • Prep sink: Franke BBX160 Beach sink
  • Faucets:
    • Wall-Mount potfiller: Kohler K-7322
    • Main sink faucet: Kohler K-8761
    • Prep sink: Kohler Vinnata K-691
  • Hardware:
    • Perimeter cabinets: Whitechapel Hardware, based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming
    • Island and fridge: Architectural salvage from Olde Good Things in NYC
  • Bar stools: America Retold. Last place I saw them was at organize.com
  • Floors: radiant heated limestone from Marble Trend; it’s Jasman.
  • Paint: Wall colour in kitchen is Plaster by Homestead House; stairwell to basement and up to second floor is Benjamin Moore Buckhorn
  • Art: We have some great pieces, including my beautiful roosters from local contemporary folk artist Pey Lu, and a couple of pieces from my best friend and amateur artist, Vera.
Background Info:
Here’s what we did:
  • Knock it down and build it out. Our house is almost 100 years old and as such, the original kitchen was quite small – about 9x10. We have an unusually shaped lot, and the shape allowed for us to be able to knock down an exterior wall and build out.
  • Make it look unique and up to date but fitting with the rest of the house. The objective was to make the kitchen look like it was always there, with more up to date appliances. To achieve that, we had the cabinets hand-painted and distressed and chose heritage colours. We used reclaimed oak planks for the island countertop; the hardware is a combination of hand-forged cast iron from England and finds from architectural salvage. Countertops and the main sink are soapstone.
  • Find room for the "library"! An imperative was to find a home for my 300+ (and counting) cookbook collection. We achieved that through clever cabinetry and the acquisition of a beautiful old hutch.
