Details:
- Cabinets custom built by AYR Cabinetry out of Nappanee Indiana (they ship country wide). They're a mix of maple and Cherry with walnut accents. A shameless plug for them - they were FANTASTIC to work for, nothing was impossible and I don't have a single filler or wasted inch in the entire kitchen!
- All new custom cabinets (slab doors) in 3 finishes (maple, cherry and walnut) with mortise-and-tenon cabinet frames and French dovetailed, hand-fitted drawers and catalyzed hand wiped finishes. All cabinet backs are 1/2" and all shelves are 3/4"
- Custom color finishes to match (eyes downcast) laminate chips whose colors I liked together
- Boxes are all maple and the inside stain is the same as all the other maple even where the doors are cherry
- Nearly all drawers in the base cabinets except for corner units, under the sinks and trash. Drawer depths were 100% customizable to fit the contents. (HD could not accommodate this)
- Panels for the fridge, freezer and two dishwashers
- Two way trash pullout accessible from both sides of the island (HD could not accommodate this)
- Pullout pantry tower with toe kick release
- Angled pantry cabinet with two doors
- Angled base cabinet and angled upper display cabinet
- Angled corner cabinet
- 30" deep cabinets in the base and ALL the space is usable as custom made drawers go all the way back
- 15" deep upper cabinets
- Spice drawer with "hidden drawers" above to maintain line of drawers visually
- Bread drawer with Plexiglas cover
- Glass inset doors on some of the uppers with glass shelves in those cabinets
- Wine glass rack in upper cabinet
- 4 Toe kick drawers
- Custom-made can storage drawers
- Soft close Blum blumotion drawer guides on every drawer
- Soft close on all the doors
- 5 Custom cherry/walnut intarsia doors
- 2 Magic Corner II units
- 2 tilt outs under sink
- Tray storage above ovens deep enough to hold trays in double depth
- two hidden cutting boards that pop out - one next to the fridge and one above the microwave
- Instead of a cabinet filler, I also have a small area where I store a step stool. The door from the trash cabinet was made wider to cover this storage area.
- 3 cm granite – Marona Cohiba - gorgeous, with floating bar and custom stainless steel corbels
- Plugmold which we installed on angled trim
- Miele all refrigerator and all freezer - originally GE Monogram but we had huge issues so we replaced them with Miele units.
- Plumbing to move freezer water line
- De Dietrich induction cooktop from Salon Blue Ridge (fantastic to work with)
- Miele Double ovens with tray cabinet above
- Futurofuturo hood with 900 cfm,
- Relocated every appliance except fridge. Put separate freezer in butler’s pantry
- Relocated cleanup sink and installed prep sink,
- Ran water supply and drain for a prep sink,
- Built out a butler’s pantry into the garage space
- 2 Miele dishwashers (one was our old one which we repanelled and the new one is the Optima
- Sharp Microwave drawer,
- Kludi(prep) and eBay faucet (Cleanup)
- Blanco Sigranite sinks
- Water chiller and instant hot dispenser and tank
- Dual hot/cold water faucet
- 4 built in soap dispensers Delta Brizo
- 2 air switches

- Moved and replaced the kitchen window
- Moved the sliding patio door and rebuilt the concrete step on the patio
- Custom can storage (the two upper drawers are hidden behind the lower one so it lines up with all the other drawers)
- Pot hanger
- My absolute fav cabinet - the pullout pantry next to the ovens. It holds the Tupperware containers perfectly and when I pull it out I have EVERYTHING I need for baking right at my fingertips
- Cab above the ovens. It's 30" deep and holds SOOOO much
- Pot drawers
- Corner unit
- Two way trash pullout
- Toe kick drawers
- Cleanup area and fridge

Details:
Cabinets: custom built cherry. Doors are from Decore-ative Specialties; the "Sheffield" series in select cherrywood (guaranteed to be free of sapwood). We wanted a uniform rich cherry color so we had the cabinets stained in "Traditional Cherry" by Varathane.
- Countertops: Vyarra Extra granite countertop with the "waterfall" edge.
- Backsplash: Vyarra Extra granite. The backsplash on the range wall runs horizontially.
- Hardware: knobs and pulls were purchased from Lowe's and are a rustic antique bronze. They only project out 7/8" which is another reason we chose them.
- Floors: 16"x24" limestone tiles
- Stools: Ashley Furniture's Prairie View Collection, bar height version (30" high).
Kitchen dimensions: somewhat narrow at 10'3"x24'
The breakfast bar is 18"x54". It overhangs 10" and is 42 1/" from the floor.
