Introduction:
We moved into this house 18 years ago. I had been wanting to remodel it for about 8 years. We finally got things ready to do it and in the fall of 2013 we began interviewing contractors. We signed a contract in January 2014. We agreed to use a custom cabinetmaker because of some of the strange configurations in our kitchen. We had seen his work and knew it was good. We also knew he was slow and has several projects in the works. So, we didn't start the tear down until the cabinetmaker was close to done. The time from the tear down to the last day the contractor worked here was 8 weeks. One week we were on vacation so the work itself took 7 weeks. Work completed July 2014.
The challenges of this kitchen on its own architecturally and my own limits (time frame and no knocking down walls) meant I had to keep the same footprint. The house is on a slab and the roof is flat – which means electrical really needs to go through walls. We did the work to California code which meant some upgrades but not as many because we kept the footprint. Anything else would have opened a huge can of worms in time, labor and expense.
I think we made great use of the existing space. There is now much more cabinet and counter space. There are specific cooking, cleaning and prep areas. It is so much more efficient and functional. We enlarged the total useable countertop area, added more cabinets that were efficiently designed for the space, replaced the window, made space for the microwave, installed a functional range hood so that it actually works and increased the number of electrical outlets. The granite is a great improvement over the tile counters. I have always enjoyed cooking and baking but this makes it so much nicer. Decisions were also made to try to make things easy to clean so I wouldn’t be spending my days scrubbing and dusting everything. While I knew I would really enjoy the granite counters and more drawers I have found myself surprised at how much I like the slightly larger sink, high arc faucet, new refrigerator and just having the microwave off the countertop. I also enjoy just staring at the backsplash.
The remodel began with interviewing contractors in the fall. We signed a contract in January. We agreed to use a custom cabinetmaker because of some of the strange configurations in our kitchen. We had seen his work and knew it was good. We also knew he was slow and has several projects in the works. So, we didn’t start the tear down until the cabinetmaker was close to done. The time from the tear down to the last day the contractor worked here was 8 weeks. One week we were on vacation so the work itself took 7 weeks. I did a LOT of grilling during that time!
The biggest snag in the remodel was the floor. We found we had moisture issues and the floor had to be leveled in spots. Fixing those issues were time consuming and expensive. We also learned the venting to the outside for the range hood was done improperly but that didn’t require much additional work.

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

Small, Quartz, Stainless Steel Backsplash, Split Entry Kitchen
Details from AnnaA on 9/19/2012

Introduction:
A 1978 Split Entry small kitchen remodel completed in 2012. We took down a wall, creating an open space consisting of the kitchen, dining room, and living room. The original appliance footprint remained, except for the refrigerator which was moved to an adjoining wall, right against the original water source for the frig, which simplified the plumbing.
We chose a few unconventional features for all the right reasons, as we love its look and utility:
1. We wanted the stove on the island, and keeping the original footprint made it even more economical. But being able to see out windows and into the living space, since we spend most of our prep time next to the stove anyway, has been sheer joy.
2. We debated pros and cons of an open concept, of an island, of a raised bar. At the end of the day, we needed to maximize space, but with some sort of demarcation between kitchen and living room. So, we chose complimentary cabinet colors that differed from the wall cabs (green and stained respectively) and two complimentary quartz countertops (Silestone Zirconium on top of the stained cabs; and Lyra on top of the green island cabs). From a common design wisdom point of view, this was not considered a wise idea, but it has given us exactly what we want - a sense of difference yet compatibility in this open space.
3. We fell in love with stainless steal materials for the backsplash. We didn't want it to look cold and industrial, rather modern craftsman unique ... Hopefully, that's what we created. We feared that homemade pattern and assembly would look too much like a child's art project permanently fixed in an adult's ""real"" kitchen, but we LOVE the homemade imperfections. The bs is the item people immediately come in an touch and oh and Ahh over.
4. The raised island bar/nested Ls - the best of all possible designs, in our opinion. Each area of our island has / is dedicated space. The raised bar is great for eating, working. It stays clean and away from food prep. And it provides enough visual block into the kitchen without blocking an open feel or window view. The lower L...the work space on each side of that oven...oh my...heaven! And then the open level space next to the frig - perfect spot for a flat open surface, from putting groceries away, to cold food prep, to using various appliances stored underneath.

14. Kitchen Additional Comments
Opinions: Our next project will involve finding a way to relocate our steps as the split entry places a walkway next to a staircase. It isn't directly related to the kitchen, but is more noticeable now as a design flaw in our space.
The design feature I regret is the bump out at the sink. It forces the sink to sit further back. I have to lean forward a bit more - not easy on the back.
Thank-You's: I found Garden Web after the design was finished and materials were ordered. But the endless array of choices that still bombarded me - GW was a wonderful place for help and guidance. The good people on this forum helped me pick all the extras - hardware, the backsplash...tons of little things. An amazing forum!

Introduction:
This kitchen space is the same one we've lived in for the last 37 years. It always worked well, but it was time. We spent months trying to figure a way to make the space larger - take space from the adjoining bedroom, pop out a wall, but with our house configuration, nothing was better than what we already had. In the end, we ditched the overhead cabinets over the peninsula and removed a stub wall to make space for a pantry, but kept the same footprint. This kitchen with its two entries was always efficient, but the changes made it better than ever. Lower drawers and the addition of the pantry were the best changes along with a super susan in an unreachable corner.
Kitchen Highlights:
- InnerMost cabinets
- Kraus 30"" sink
