Introduction:
Completed October 2012

Design considerations: we wanted a bright contemporary look that was inviting and uncluttered. We wanted mostly light surfaces because we were concerned the room might be dark. The kitchen faces north and the one window has an overhang from the master above. We also needed to be budget-aware which we mostly followed with the exception of one big splurge (details below). We loved the look of grain-matched walnut and after a visit to SemiHandMade in Southern California, we decided to go with their custom drawer fronts. I'm the cook and wanted a good expanse of work surfaces. My husband is the clean up guy so he researched and chose the sink and dishwasher.

The island is 60" x 30". In order to have an overhang for seating, we needed to have drawers that were 18" deep. Ikea doesn't sell 18" deep drawers, so we ordered these from Sherr's in the custom size we needed. The walnut end and back side of the island were made by a finish carpenter we hired who wrapped it with a mix of walnut veneer and solid walnut to our specification.

14. Kitchen Additional Comments
Opinions: Things we love:
- the marble island (aka The Big Splurge)
- the grain-matched walnut doors. We were glad we got the end panels for the upper cabinets as well.
- lots of drawer space
- the trash pullout
- the tall pantry cabinet
- the butcher block counter
- dimmable LED lights
- Sherr's drawer boxes
- Ikea's 20% off sale and exchange policy

Things we had to compromise on:
- no room for a double oven and separate cook top
- clearance behind the island is slightly less than ideal
- more filler by the upper cabinets next to the sink than we'd prefer, needed for symmetry

Things that didn't work out the way we thought
- the window was supposed to come down to the counter
- the finished sink wall was 2"" narrower than planned, which meant we had to cut down the drawer fronts of a 24"" cabinet to 18"" and leave a little gap at the end of the corner cabinet (not visible)
- the corner cabinet needed a lot more door clearance than we thought, so the stove wall had to be adjusted
- the Abstrakt doors and deco strips show every nail and ding, and so were difficult to use at the top of the cabinets where they needed to be mitred.

Final comments:    "Gardenweb ideas used:
- lots of drawers
- offset drain in the sink to allow for a trash pullout underneath
- air switch for garbage disposal
- induction stove
- Ikea boxes and hardware
- under cabinet LED lights and outlets
- over-the-counter microwave
- recessed fridge

Details:
  • Cabinets: IKEA Liljestad
  • Countertops: Giallo Michelangelo Zodiaq
  • Backsplash: subway tile and some art deco tiles from NZ
  • Fratelli Onofri stove
  • Futuro Futuro hood (tulip I think) 
  • Dishwasher: IKEA Renlig
  • Sink: IKEA Domsjo sink
  • Paint: C2 Savannah

Features:
  • Apron_Sink
  • Baking_Drawer
  • Bookshelf
  • Dish_Drawer
  • Drawer_Dividers
  • Frameless_Cabinets
  • Glass_Doors
  • Knife_Drawer
  • Lighting_Pendant
  • Lighting_Recessed
  • Message_Center_Desk
  • Microwave_Shelf
  • Mixer_Pullout
  • Peninsula_with_Seating
  • Plug_Inside_Cabinet
  • Pullout_Pantry


Notes:
We combined the kitchen and the dining room and made a peninsula with drawers and a mixer lift (which I LOVE). The microwave is hidden in an oven cabinet and is a combination microwave convection oven. Also great. The dishwasher is the new (at the time) renlig so it integrates into the kitchen. I have a Domsjo sink, which is great except for metal kind of rubs off on it, so if you scrub a pot or cookie sheet then you have to scrub the sink with barkeeper's friend. We drilled a hole in the sink for a sprayer and installed a cover control garbage disposal with no problems. We used subway tile and some art deco tiles from NZ for the backsplash, and I have a desk that is also made from Liljestad drawers and my countertop on one end of the kitchen. I can clear it and use it when I entertain as a serving station. The countertops are giallo michelangelo zodiaq and they are beautiful and functional. I have chose a samsung fridge and a fratelli onofri stove with a futuro futuro hood. 

 The renlig dishwasher is great. If I were designing it I would put the silverwear holder in the front, not the side, but I still love it.
We did about 75% of the renovation ourselves (well my dad and brother's selves;). A contractor took out the wall, moved the window, the gas, the electric etc. . . and my family put in all the cabinets, and the finish plumbing etc. . . We had a tile guy for the tile. I'll actually try to put up a better picture of the porteus tiles, I love them so.

Link to sw_austin's kitchen photos

Details:
  • Cabinets: IKEA, Tidaholm door style (European white oak; solid oak frame with veneer center), except for custom-built pantry and one shallow cabinet beneath the bookcase, stained ebony; bookcase and cart also custom built of steel angle-iron uprights and IKEA butcher block shelves
  • Countertops: Beleza soapstone from Dorado Soapstone in Austin
  • Backsplash:
    • Tile: Sonoma Tilemakers (from our favorite tile store, Architerra); subways are Star line, 3x6, color Trellis Green; glass tiles are Tantrum 1x2, color Tazo (chosen because it matched the green inclusions in the soapstone)
    • Grout: Light gray (maybe Oyster Gray?)
  • Hardware: Restoration Hardware Aubrey pulls in brushed nickel, 4-inch on doors, 6-inch on drawers
  • Lighting:
    • Pendants in front of windows: Meridian from Sundance Catalog
    • Pendant over kitchen table: IKEA (a placeholder to get the final inspection done; I was looking for a cone-shaped pendant to echo the Meridian pendants but with a solid or frosted shade; I couldn't find one in time and now we'll probably have this forever)
    • Undercabinet lights: Microfluorescent T4 light strips from Pegasus Associates Lighting (online)
  • Sink: Ticor S112 from Galaxy Tool Supply
  • Faucet: Kohler Essex with side spray in brushed nickel
  • Appliances:
    • Range: Kenmore Elite
    • Dishwasher: Kenmore Elite
    • Refrigerator: Kenmore (existing)
  • Floors: Existing long leaf pine (refinished)
Background:
We are more than happy with our decision to use IKEA cabinets. They cost about $6,000 less than a comparable kitchen done with Kraft Maid in maple. Because we saved those dollars we felt comfortable spending more on the soapstone and the backsplash. And we are completely happy with how the cabinets look and function. Who knew I could love full-extension, soft-close drawers so much?

The old kitchen was original to the house, which was built in 1945. The cabinets were painted metal, there was no dishwasher, too little storage, and counters were crowded with microwave, toaster oven, and dish drainer. We lived with it for 15 years (we intended to redo it much sooner but other projects -- two kids not the least of those -- intervened).

The kitchen functioned well, layout-wise, and we left the main elements in place. We removed a strange peninsula at one end of the long side and took the wall between kitchen and dining room (behind the stove in the picture below) down to half-height. We took out a door to the backyard that we never used and replaced it with a window. We took out a hot water heater closet (and put in an on-demand unit that hangs on an exterior wall), which gave us 4 additional linear feet of cabinets and counters.

At the last minute we decided to make a space within our new pantry (white doors at right below) to house the microwave. It got the micro off the main counter and having it out of the way is just fine. The pantry was custom-built to fit in the space of what had been a shallow regular-height closet. Now it gives us floor to ceiling storage.
We pulled the base cabinets next to the refrigerator out 5 inches to keep our existing frig from sticking out; the counters here are about 30 inches deep. We also hung 30-inch-tall uppers here (others are 39-inch) with a floating shelf (of IKEA butcher block) below.
We had a cart built of butcher block and steel from the local welding shop that slides under the counter. The bookshelf above was built of the same materials. The black cabinet at right was built by our carpenter to fit a shallow spot to the right of the new window. One slab of soapstone took care of most of the counters, but using butcher block over this section worked out perfectly.
Sills for the new windows made of soapstone tiles. Much better than the old painted wood.

We had this big blank wall (cabinets here wouldn't have left room for the table where we eat almost all our meals) so we painted a piece of masonite with chalkboard paint and bolted it to the wall. The corkboard covers the circuit box, which would have cost $1500 to move.

We love steel so we had the pass-through top made of 1/2-inch sheet steel.

Our carpenter built the bookshelf and the cart, based on an idea I showed him from a magazine. He was skeptical but it turned out great. The corners of the butcher block are routed out so the steel (which is just angle iron from a local welding shop that we wire-brushed clean and sealed with spray poly) would sit flush.

We painted the toe kicks black. Our contractor said it would make them disappear, which it sort of does. I like that it also echoes the black elsewhere. The carpenters built 2x4 frames for the lower boxes to sit on, rather than using the IKEA leg system. I think it was to make certain that the soapstone was well-supported and to make sure the long run was level, given the inherent unevenness of our 65-year-old floors.
The soapstone and the wood are just shoved as closely together as possible. The butcher block sits on a L bracket that runs from front to back screwed into the side of the cabinet; the wood is attached to the bracket from underneath. We thought about putting a bead of clear silicone on the seam but since that area is rarely used for prep we haven't had any trouble with junk building up in the seam (which is fairly minimal; they did a good job of getting a tight joint).

I kept the square footage of the redesign to the original 11'x11' footprint, but removed one wall so that it's is now open to the family room, atrium and living room. I looked to Jill77's kitchen for inspiration and tried to incorporate a design style in keeping with the rest of the home without breaking the bank.Features:

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.

More details:
Our kitchen is fairly compact, a typical size for a San Francisco Victorian flat built in 1892. It's an efficient 10' x 11' galley style floorplan, open to the dining room on one end and the deck on the other. We did all the planning and design ourselves and relied on a general contractor to execute it. Everything from the old 1980s kitchen was taken out, except for the more recent soap dispenser. We resold all the old appliances, fixtures, and cabinet hardware on Craigslist. We also made ample use of Craigslist, eBay, and online vendors to acquire appliances and materials. In fact, the new range, used (but pristine) hood, and countertop fabricator all came by way of Craigslist, saving us megabucks.

Details:
  • Cabinets -- Ikea Stat with 2 Rev-a-Shelf pullouts
  • Countertop -- Kashmir White granite
  • Backsplash -- Susan Jablon Mosaics; glass subway beach tile.
  • Range -- Bluestar 30" RCS
  • Hood -- Ventahood 9" 300cfm
  • Dishwasher -- Bosch
  • Fridge -- Jennair
We decided to go with Ikea cabinets and use the money we saved to upgrade the appliances. So far we love the cabinets and they are an incredible value. I'll probably be adding some lighting to them next year -- so I guess we're really 99% done. We also made some changes to the rest of the room such as installing recessed lighting, new windows and sliding door, removed a soffit, etc. Overall we're very happy with the room and love the kitchen.

 Features:
Blumotion
Counter >28"wide
Counter-depth Frig
Frameless Cabinets
Peninsula with Seating

Finished kitchen - red, yellow, and blue

Links to kitchen photos:

Details:
  • Cabinets: Ikea, painted by our housepainter, and much modified in configuration thanks to the IkeaFans website. They're Ikea Tidaholm. Our painter sanded them, put on a coat of grey z-prime, put on an undercoat of color (black for the blue cabinets, ochre/orange for the yellow), did the top coat of color (I don't know the specific names of the blue and yellow), sanded through the top coat to reveal bits of undercoat, and then topped it all off with a clear coat of some sort of varnish used on floors. It was labor intensive, but he kept saying how excited he was to be doing it because he got to be creative. The blue is a little darker in person.
  • Range: Bluestar in Ruby Red
  • Hood: Modern Aire in Ruby Red
  • Counters: soapstone (two or three different types - our stone guy had extra slabs from previous jobs, so we did more stone countertop than originally planned)
  • Butcher block counter: Ikea, beech
  • Hardware: RK International
  • Tile backsplash: handpainted/glazed by me
  • Mirror/iron thing behind stove: Victorian cast iron overmantel from a fireplace
  • Pot racks: The Metal Peddler
  • Fridge, DW: Jenn Air with custom copper panels
  • Sinks: copper one from Handcrafted Metal; soapstone from Vermont Soapstone
  • Faucets: Moen Aberdeen
  • Floors: reclaimed/remilled VG fir from AltruWood (the wood used to be beams in the Pendleton Woolen Mills in Oregon, my home state), finished with OSMO Polyx Oil
  • Shelves: brackets from VanDyke's, shelves in VG fir
  • the paper towel holder is from Storables.
  • The painting "Crow and Chickadee" is by Beth Sautter - add .com to her name and you'll get her website.
  • The ModernAire hood is model PS1130, 54" wide and 30" tall, with chrome lip, rack, and bands. The 1400 CFM fan is on backorder, so I can't yet report on its performance.
The tall pantry is 15" wide and 80" tall (24" deep). We bought a couple extra interior drawers for it. It holds about 2/3 of our non-refrigerated food, including my ever-growing collection of oils and vinegars.

The copper panels were made by a sheet metal guy our GC knows. We gave him the schematics that came with the JennAir appliances and he figured out the best way to do the panels. Some of them have returns on the edges -- like the lid of a shoebox -- and some of them have filler (cardboard?) between the copper and the actual door.

The tiles were one of those things where you get yourself into a project without realizing the scope until it's too late. I wanted antique Dutch tiles, or even modern Dutch tiles that were painted, not printed, but there was no way they'd fit in the budget. So I went to a pottery supply store, bought bisque tiles, bought glazes, and went to work. The pottery supply place also fired the tiles for me, for way cheaper than any of the 'paint your own' pottery places. In the end, I not only did the kitchen backsplash but also wrote out some quotations in red glaze for the bathroom, and painted pictures of animals for the fireplace surround. In all, I painted over 300 tiles. It took me a year. :o Like I said, I didn't realize the scope when I first started out. On the bright side, each finished tile cost about a dollar, and it provided a hobby.

RE: Finished Kitchens - Pic Links Only, no responses please


I finally took some "all done" photos of our kitchen and posted them online.
The details:
IKEA cabinets (Adel birch)
Honed absolute black granite counters
Bamboo floors (natural, vertical)
Wolf range (36 inch, 6 burners)
Elkay SS undermount double bowl sink
Grohe Ladylux Cafe Spray faucet
and cheapo IKEA stools that we will replace someday!
We bought the Kenmore SS fridge (pullout freezer on bottom) and
Whirlpool Gold SS dishwasher right after we moved in, before we started renovating
(and before I discovered this forum, otherwise we probably would have made some
different selections!)
We've used and abused the kitchen for almost 5 months now and love it (no horror
stories involving the honed granite. this stuff is great).
