Country Victorian with brick and copper

• Cabinets: Crown Point (uppers, island, oven cab, pantry only), inset Newport door with the arts and crafts rail at the bottom. Ordered my new cabs primed and had them painted on-site only because I was concerned about matching the new cabs with the old base ones.

• Banquette: Ballard's, Waverly fabric from Joann's
• Pot Rack: Williams-Sonoma
• Crown molding: local lumberyard (not CP)

• enlarged window
• demo'ed wall which we knew had brick behind it--we were just trying to gain width (we got about 5'') but I also love the look!
• replaced uppers and oven cab and island (Notice the upper cabs are inset but the lowers are frameless. I was very worried about the uppers being inset and the bottoms being full overlay...but it bothers me not at all.)
• reused island to become new peninsula (we cut down the existing top)and converted the cabinets in it to drawers
• honed the granite and removed the 4'' backsplash (it couldn't be honed in place anyway)
• kept the old appliances, except for ovens and hood
• painted everything white

Black and Ivory Kitchen with Antique Brick Arch

• Cabinets: Shiloh cabinetry. The perimeter is Oxford painted maple in ivory with pewter glaze and the island is painted black with weathered, distressed, sand through.
• Countertop: 3 different granites - Red Dragon, Absolute Black and Black Mosaic Gold
• Cooktop: Jenn-Air from the new Pro-series line. It has a downdraft eliminating the need for a hood or worrying about one of those periscope draft thingies breaking! http://www.jennair.com/catalog/category.jsp?cat=12&N=56Purchased from http://www.bridgevilleappliance.com/
