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.

Berryberry's Finished Kitchen

More details:
Our goal was to re-do our 17 year old kitchen, original to the house. The old cabinets were standard builder grade and while looking good on the outside, were showing signs of wear (broken drawer guides, etc) internally. Plus the color scheme was, ummm, just a tad outdated – LOL.

We planned 90% of the kitchen ourselves, from doing research ahead of time, looking at magazines, and using the garden web and other internet resources. We met with 3 different cabinet reps / KDs to obtain quotes from three different cabinet lines – Durasupreme, Shiloh, and Kahle’s (a regional brand based a few hours away from us on PA). We obtained a few different ideas from the various KDs we met with and incorporated them into our vision. Our vision was further defined seeing a display of Omega cabinets at the one showroom which also sold the Shiloh line. This display is what we used in helping us design our plan and look.

In looking at cabinetry, we were impressed with the Shiloh brand’s construction but they had no door styles, finishes that would give us the look we really wanted to achieve. Durasupreme was the least inexpensive of the group but also the least flexible (ie they couldn’t do the special microwave cabinet we wanted to do). It was only by a fluke we came across Kahles. Even though they are based in Pennsylvania, we had never heard of them. But one day, when out looking at appliances, one showroom we stopped at had full type kitchen displays. Some of the cabinets we saw were fantastic – better quality than the Omega custom line we saw at the Shiloh dealer – and we thought they had to be full custom cabinetry. We asked one of the appliance sales people about the cabinets and he said a couple local contractors installed all the cabinets at their facility. We showed him the couple cabinets we liked and he told us they were all installed by a man named Dale Conrad. He gave us his number and we contacted him http://www.conradkitchenandbath.com/

We found out the cabinets were made by a company called Kahle’s – which sells regionally in the eastern part of the US. They are a family run operation and do things the old fashioned way as the quality of their cabinets can attest to (for instance note the full plywood TOPS on the base cabinets). They are based in northwest PA pretty much in the middle of nowhere. http://www.kahles.com/ As you can see from the website, marketing is not their strong suit but making top quality cabinets is. They happened to offer styles and finishes that we were looking for and help us complete our vision. Furthermore, we found Dale to be a forthright man to work with. And while his initial quote came in a lot higher than the other two, we worked together, thru some minor design changes, as well as advantageous scheduling to help him fill some down time to come up with a price that was competitive with the others we had received. Dale told us the job would take about 2 weeks (except waiting for the granite to be fabricated) and he was spot on. His crew was here 9 days and completed 95% of the kitchen, hooked up our old sink / faucet as a temporary sink and then we waited about 3 weeks while the granite was being fabricated. Dale’s crew was back the day of the granite installation to disconnect the temporary sink and faucet, install the new ones after the granite went in and finish up some minor details. Two weeks of work exactly with no issues. The only issue we did encounter was with our DIY backsplash. The tile store initially ordered the wrong material so that delayed me installing it for about 10 days until they had the correct material shipped. Since we didn’t order the tile until the granite was in, this pushed the final completion back slightly.

Details:
  • Cabinets - local cabinet maker.
    Hardware - knobs from Home Depot. Pulls from Restoration Hardware.
  • Countertop - Soapstone from Expo. LOVE it. My favorite thing.
  • Backsplash: Dalite tile from Expl.
  • Range - Jenn Aire dual fuel with 2 ovens (love the 2 ovens, but it was a pain to install as we had to have a new outlet run and have the gas moved as it was in the wrong place per Jenn Aire's instructions).
  • Micro - Jenn Aire - we use it to vent outside and this was another pain as the microwave vent was about 2 inches off from the vent in the ceiling, but were able to customize some sheet metal).
  • Dishwasher - Jenn Aire. OK, I love the look of it, but we had a couple problems with this. We had to have plumbing moved to accomodate it. A plumbing expense I wasn't ready for. And then it was bent (sideways) and so a couple strips got damaged but then fixed). All is well now.
  • Fridge - LG Cabinet Depth French Door. Like the look of it, but I dropped one of my tupperware containers on the top of the door and bent it a little. They don't make appliances like they used to!!
  • Sink - Blanco stainless.
    Faucet - Brizo. Love the look of it, but the handle on the right turn the wrong way (perhaps this is a European design).

Details:
  • Cabinets: Custom made on site. All cabinets, including the island, are maple. The cabinets are painted BM Swiss Coffee OC-45. The stain on the island is one coat of walnut and one coat of ebony stain.
  • Countertops: the perimeter countertops (kitchen and bar) are honed Danby Calcutta marble. The island is honed Milley Gray marble, with a butcher block edge. The butcher block is a place holder for walnut that is on order. The Calcutta is 3cm, but the Milley Gray was only available in 2cm, so we fabricated the edge.
  • Backsplash: from Daltile: It’s Ahnzu 3x6 Artic Ice, Crackle AT112
    http://www.ahnzu.com/collection_details.cfm?catID=4&collectionID=4# and http://www.daltileproducts.com/series.cfm?series=162#2418
  • Lighting: the lights are from Horchow - Sausalito Pendant.
  • Hardware: from Home Depot Expo, but I think it’s pretty common (i.e. not too expensive) Hickory Hardware. http://www.homedecorhardware.com/hickory-p3010-14.html
  • Flooring: floors are red oak. We had them refinished using one coat of ebony and one coat of toffee.
  • Faucets: Danze, Schon
  • Sink: Franke/Villeroy & Boch fireclay
  • Appliances: Viking and GE
The island is 47 inches wide (inclusive of the marble 1.5" overhang) by 11 feet 3 inches (the butcher bock part is 2ft, 1inch – although I love it now, the reason we went with the wood edge is because the slab was not long enough for the island). The bar is 7’6" long, 22 inches wide, with a bump out sink of 24 inches. (Although I would change it if I could since the wine fridge doesn’t really fit under a 22 inch counter. It sticks out, but there’s really nothing I can do about it now.)
- I was worried about the space on both sides of the island, but they are fine.

Posted on Thu, May 29, 08
Link to kitchen photos: http://s301.photobucket.com/albums/nn62/mamadadapaige/?action=view&current=a7dad629.pbw

Details:
  • Cabinets: Crown Point of New Hampshire. The color is antique white. I painted my baseboards and trim the same color and the corresponding color which is a good match is Benjamin Moore Lancaster Whitewash. The latches are very easy... you do have to actually turn them but it is effortless. I really like the look. It was a pricey upgrade so I only put them on the upper cabinets.
  • Countertops: Ocean Green granite from Gerrity Stone in Woburn, Mass. I had them honed. This was a soapstone alternative as the soapstone slabs I saw didn't appeal to me and I chickened out on the patina issue and ultimately didn't think I could handle dings / scratches etc.
    The butcherblock countertop is from Grothouse Lumber out of Pennsylvania (which I found from other GW'ers... THANKS a million... I love this probably more than anything else!!). It is end grain brazilian cherry. I opted for the food friendly finish so I will have to maintain it with mineral oil. I plan to chop right on it... haven't done that yet, will probably be a little while before I have the gumption to do so.
    The countertop width on either side of the range is 24".
  • Backsplash: Walker Zanger Gramercy Park 2" x 6" field tiles in Bone China. They have a crackle finish.
  • Hood: Rangecraft out of New Jersey. The style I went for is called Taconic.
  • Floor: random width quartersawn White Oak with a stain.
  • Sink: Elkay Avado. It was the biggest I could get for my sink base size which couldn't be bigger than it is for a variety of reasons. It is 21" x 15" x 8" deep.
  • Faucet: Rohl LS57LSTN Modern Architectural Side Lever Pulldown High Spout Kitchen Faucet in polished nickel. Purchased from Home and Stone.
  • Chandelier: Visual Comfort TOB5003 Thomas O'Brien BRYANT LARGE CHANDELIER. Purchased through New York Lighting.

Background Information:
Kitchen dimensions:
the kitchen itself is about 16.5' x 12'.
Island is
44" x 74".
Dining/kitchen area is about 21' x 17'.

One tip I want to pass on: if you notice the cabinets to the left of my sink because I have three drawers over a pair of two drawers they had to build it as one unit (so less of those seams where one box meets the next). I had originally planned to have the drawers on top the same size as the drawers below but that would have meant two box units instead of one. Just wanted to pass this along. I think if you can find ways to get them to build larger units so you have fewer seams this is good.

ecoleman251's Kitchen

My finished kitchen



Contact: ecoleman251 (My Page)
Posted on Sun, Apr 20, 08
Link to kitchen photos: http://s279.photobucket.com/albums/kk129/ecoleman251/

Details:
  • Cabinets: custom; made with formaldehyde free plywood (i had not contemplated custom until i read here that sometimes they come in at and below national brands)
  • Counters: Carrara marble (I love them, nobody could talk me out of them; they etch, but i have had no problems with staining)
  • Backsplash: the subway tile is from a local tile store, I'm not sure what brand, and the grout is a light grey color.
  • Floors: Southern Wood Floors engineered pine;
  • Sinks: Franke; the apron sink is 30" and is white
  • Faucets: Blanco
  • Stools: industrial from some online place; i already had 2 martha stewart ones from years ago, and ordered the gray ones and had them painted at an auto body shop to match the other 2 i had
  • Lights: urban archaeology
  • Paint: BM lime sorbet on walls; Simply White on cabinets
  • white tin canisters are from Martha Stewart, I soooo miss her catalog!
  • ceiling is beaded board that was custom made by our contractor out of the same formaldehyde free plywood that he used to make the cabinets.
  • windows and doors are Jeld-Wen, I believe; the window was doubled in size from the old one, and the french doors replaced sliders.
  • jadeite punch bowl.
  • fridge is Kenmore. It was not a new purchase. I do love it, though. It has plenty of room and I love having the freezer drawer in the bottom. The glass front cabinet is 9" deep. I have bar glasses below and it is across from the beverage fridge, so it all flows and functions very well.
  • hardware -for the life of me, I cannot remember where I got my hardware, but I think it came from 2 different places online.
We have an old house; the original structure dates back to the 1800's, and it was expanded over the years. The structure that you see in the back is an old carriage house.
