Eclectic Oak Kitchen Refresh

Details:
    • Appliances:
      SubZero BI36R - all refrigerator
      KitchenAid KEBS278SBL 27-in Double Convection Oven
      Broan 283603 Downdraft - exterior blower
      Panasonic NN-SN667B Microwave
      Kenmore 20.6 cu. ft. Upright Freezer (in pantry)
      WasteKing 9980 Disposer (with Insinkerator air switch)
      Kenmore Diswasher, Kenmore Trash Compactor and Kitchen Aid gas cooktop were all existing
    • Granite - Russian Sable from Arizona Tile 
    • The backsplash was DW's project, and I think she hit it out of the park. We had wanted a copper glass tile, but hadn't found anything. One day, she was poking around on-line and found the deco mosaic, which is called Nutmeg Versailles from Unique Building Concepts. She went to their website, and found the matching 6x6 field tile on closeout at $2/sf! We bought all of it - about 20-30 tiles too many, then started work on putting it all together.
      We weren't wild about one of the colors in the mosaic - kind of a khaki color - so she came up with the idea of putting in a solid copper medallion from Landmark Metalcoat to replace the 2x2s and some teal glass tiles from Crossville for the 1x1s. The liners are from Dal-Tile and the copper quarter round that you see behind the sink (also at the ends of the island) are from Landmark.

      Hubbardton Forge Sierra Patina Copper Pendants
      Can lighting was reused. Some cans were removed in the breakfast room and family room and replaced with small halogen spot lights

      Background:
      Kitchen dimensions: 17 x 19 feet with 12 foot ceilings.

      We were having a hard time trying to decide between two islands vs. a massive single island. Boy, am I glad we went this way. The flow is so much better. We LOVE having the second island. It is where we eat most meals. The kids love using it to do homework. The kitchen is truly the heart of the home, so the second island serves many functions for us.

      The floating shelves are custom and were made during construction by our trim carpenter.

      White and Espresso Kitchen With Antique Pendants

      Link to redroze's Before&After Photo

      Details:
      • Cabinets: custom cabinetry made by our general contractor's uncle whose company is CD 28 Inc. Cabinet style is inset, recessed panel with concealed hinges. Grooved detail on both the doors and frames (slightly more detailed than a Shaker style). The painted cabinetry is Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace and the maple cabinets and island were custom stained to match the dark espresso grain in our hardwood floors.
      • Countertops: Bianco Antico granite. The base colour is an off-white with deposits of grey quartz, red garnet that looks like crushed red lollipops, black mica and thin sheets of pearly silver. It is 1 ¼” or 3 cm with an eased edge.
      • Backsplash: Heath Ceramics 2x8 handmade tiles from Ann Sacks in Chalk White with a matte finish. The colour is very white with a grey undertone. We did it in a traditional subway pattern. We went with a white grout as we didn't want the backsplash pattern to compete with the granite. The elongated shape is a modern take on the standard 3x6 subway tile.
      • Appliances:
        ~ Kitchenaid French door fridge
        ~ Kitchenaid 5-burner electric cooktop
        ~ Kitchenaid dishwasher
        ~ GE microwave
        ~ GE wall oven
        ~ Vent-A-Hood range hood insert
      • Hardware: Aubrey polished chrome pulls (mostly 8” but one 6” for the small drawer), Hanson polished chrome 1 ¼” knobs, and two polished nickel 1 ¼” glass knobs for the glass cabinet. All from Restoration Hardware.
      • Pendants: antique reproduction pendant lights from Turn of the Century Lighting in a bright nickel finish
      • Sinks and Faucets:
        ~ main sink: Blanco silgranit super single precis in Biscuit from Quality Bath.
        ~ main faucet: with side spray, bar faucet and soap dispensers are all from the Danze Opulence collection in polished chrome from Quality Bath.
        ~ prep sink: Ticor S705 stainless steel prep sink from Galaxy Tool Supply.
      • Flooring: red oak hardwood. The stain is a custom mix of mainly Duraseal Ebony and some Minwax Red Mahogany (bizarre mix, I know!)
      • Paint: The wall colour is Benjamin Moore Natural Cream which is a pale neutral. The painted cabinets, crown molding, baseboards and ceiling are Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace which is a crisp white with a hint of warmth.
      • Stools: The leather and brushed chrome barstools are from Urban Barn and add a modern touch to the space. I wanted low backs so they don’t interfere with the view from the kitchen to the family room.

      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.

      Natural Maple Cabinets with Verde Butterfly Countertops


      Posted by groschuni
      Link to groschuni's kitchen photos (look for "Gil R" in the Scherr's photo gallery)

      Details:
      • Cabinets (Scherr's Custom RTA), including hardware pulls, wainscotting, molding and all in-cabinet accessories like the pull-out trash bins.
      • Doors: #900 in Maple
      • Drawer Fronts: #500 1 inch thick in Maple
      • Verde Butterfly granite countertops with eased edge, sink cutout, cooktop dropin.
      • Kindred ComboMax Platinum Undermount Sink
      • Appliances: Advantium 240V, Gaggenau 985 oven, Thermador CEP304 cooktop, Bosch integrated DW and Kenmore Elite/Whirlpool Gold 24.4cu' fridge.
      • Cork flooring
      Background:
      We love our Scherr’s cabinets.
      They were worth every penny, IMHO. Scherr's did some really complex stuff for us and it all came together well. They made clipped, fluted corners and 5/4 drawer fronts I wanted that they had never tried before. They made integrated raised end panels which was a first for them as well. As for service, I had a problem with a long drawer front that warped (it was solid wood) and they sent out a replacement very quickly (at no cost of course).
      The cabinets fit together tightly and are very sturdy. You need a good set of bar clamps to properly put them together. The raised panel door fronts are very solidly made and don't rattle at all because they use rubber spaceballs to hold the panels tightly in place.
