• We undertook a remodel of our kitchen, dining room, laundry room this summer. I have been inspired by the "Big Enough" house movement, and was determined to keep our 2000 sq. ft 1936 house true to itself while meeting the needs of our family of five. After 6 years in our house we decided that we really just needed a slightly larger dining room, and that all of our other needs could be met within the original foot print. The kitchen remains 13x9. The main structural changes we made were to bump the dining room out four feet, move the wall next to the refrigerator back 18 inches to create more space for the island and install larger, more energy efficient doors and windows.
• The kitchen footprint stayed the same, but we bumped the DR out 4 ft. The beam in the ceiling of the DR is the old exterior wall.
• Pantry: 12" deep, 4 ft wide, 84" tall. The pantry shelves have 3 tier risers. If you had the room, I would suggest 14 inches, because most of the organizer baskets I found won't fit in faced front to back.
• The island drawers are 36 inches wide and 8 inches deep.
• Contractor: Baerenk Construction (fabulous!)

Somersby and more

• DIY
• Cabinets: Somersby cabinet, cherry "nutmeg" finish, Lia door style.
  (Ordered from buycabinets.com and saved thousands of dollars compared to Diamond brand (virtually identical product)).
• Countertop: "Verde Marinace" granite. To us it feels like the riverbed of a Yosemite stream in spring.
• Backsplash: full backsplash is also "Verde Marinace" granite. ????? The short backsplash: We prefer it over full backsplash since we want see softer and warmer feel of painted wall with a custom color.
• Flooring: Bolivian rosewood floor
• Appliances:
  - Thermador 36" Harmony Pro all gas range w/ griddle
  - Thermador 42" PH hood with 1400cfm remote blower

  - KitchenAid warming drawer (the lower right drawer in this picture is actually the warming drawer - it's hidden behind a regular wood drawer front.)
  - Magic Chef 24" wine cooler
  - Sharp Microwave, the height is ~14", and the wall cabinet above it is 24" high while the ones beside are 36" high. since our wall cabinets are 18" above the countertop, so the microwave is 16" above, or 2" closer.
  - we decided to replace our 7 year old white Kenmore fridge later
• Skylight: we hired a contractor to install the 2x4 skylight on the roof, but I built the tunnel after that.

• Bay window sill: again Verde Marinace granite
