Introduction:
2010 Kitchen Remodel in Northern Virginia. Started with 1988 builder grade kitchen. No major structural changes in remodel.
Kitchen Highlights:
- Cabinets- Shiloh, inset beaded soft white with slate highlighting and brushing. Tons of details on these, everything is upgraded and pull out or soft glide, etc. They were our biggest expense.
- Kitchen Table- Antique tables made daily. Chairs painted and distressed from my old set
- New Windows (expanded in kitchen, replaced in entire house)- OKNA. And very glad I went with casement in kitchen in the end as I wasn't going to originally.
- Pendants- Mercury glass, shades of light
- Range- GE Monogram 36 inch dual fuel with grill (love it)
- Sink- Shaw 3018 (love it), also got the stainless grid, love it too.
- Prep Sink- Rohl Round 18 inch with Tapmaster (tapmaster nice but not end of world if not)
- Faucets- same for both sinks, Delta Leland single hole
- Air switches- from home depot (very frustrating. Don�t place these near a faucet handle!)
- Floors- Character walnut random width, distressed edges, Waterlox finish, Blackford and Sons. LOVE!
- Vent- GE, free with range 1200 CFMs, loud but works and free is free
- Undercabinet lights- seagull ambiance lighting on dimmer, great lights
- Disposals- Evolution and Evolution compact, no trouble
- Dishwasher- Meihl, some trouble here. Had a flood already! Due to filling the soap dispenser up with soap, apparently a BIG no-no.
- Backsplash- subway, Emser cape code in artisan cream crackle ordered from Studio Tile in Fl for around 14/ft, Above range, not sure, some small mosaic from a local store.
- Hardware- cabinets, hafele antique black, doors ordered online , Emtek black ordered from simpsons hardware
- Paint- Ben Moore Algonkian Trail, eggshell
- Warming drawer- Kitchenaid (used every day!)
- Microwave- Sharp MW Drawer (fine)
- Fridge- Samsung with convertible fridge drawer (can be used for wine, kids snacks, deli meats,etc) (like it)

Green, Energy-efficient, Universally Designed Transitional Kitchen

Link to ICFgreen's Finished photos
Introduction:
When we built in our forever home in 2011-12, Our goal was to create a kitchen that put function over form, was energy-efficient, earth-friendly and fully accessible, comfortable for multiple cooks, and practical for our everyday life. Since I cook our dinners from scratch most every night, I wanted to have everything I needed to make most any dinner I wanted without having to make a run to the store (hello, pantry!) We knew it would have a Euro bent, with some nods to my husband's heritage. Because I need order to function with my brain injury, we knew it would be practical and organized. We are thrilled with how it turned out.
Kitchen Highlights:
- Cabinets: Custom made by our amazing Amish cabinet maker, Joe Yoder. All drawers are full extension and soft close with Blumotion. We loved working with Joe, and he will be making the custom cabinetry in my pantry eventually, after we catch our financial breath!
- Touch Activated Recycling Center: Custom made by Joe Yoder. Powerws by Blum Servodrive.
- Counters: Hanstone Specchio White quartz, with a small slab of marble on the baking center. (saved $$ by buying a marble remnant. Otherwise the baking center would have been quartz as well).

14. Kitchen Additional Comments
Opinions: Favorite Things (in no particular order):
- cork floors. So soft. So quiet. So easy to clean. LOVE LOVE LOVE them.
- quartz counters. Love the recycled glass and mirror. Easy to clean, no staining, despite my leaving turmeric and juice on it over night! eep!
- instahot. We drink a lot of tea. Now we drink more.
- backsplash. It stopped me in my tracks when I saw it in a display and if possible, I like it even more in my own kitchen.
- vacupan under the prep sink. I put it to good use!
- pantry. I love having everything I need to make anything I want.
- recycling center. I love that we have taken all the thinking out of recycling, and now most weeks we are able to make our goal of one bag of trash per week.
- layout. it's roomy, comfortable with multiple people, but everything for cooking dinner is easy to reach.
The only thing we'd change is have a Waste King instahot instead of Insinkerator, and used eggshell paint instead of flat. oops.

14. Kitchen Additional Comments
Opinions: I love how our kitchen turned out. Ideally, I'd have had a wider space to work with and unlimited funds to afford both the $$$ and the space for a giant french range, but overall, I'm very happy with the kitchen. I do have plans to swap out the range for a double oven range, though.
Kitchen Cost:
- Kraftmaid Cherry Lynchburg Mission cabinets - $14169.54 but we received $2500 back in Lowe's rebate gift cards that were used for anything that doesn't have a dollar figure.
- Whirlpool Gold french door frig - $892 clearanced at Lowe's
- KB6524PS Sharp Microwave Drawer - $597 ebay
- 900cfm range hood - $190 ebay
- Ticor stainless steel undermount sink - $145
- Price Pfister Hanover pullout faucet - $70 ebay
- Glass pendant light (over sink) - $47.08 clearanced at Bellacor.com
- Pendant over peninsula - $49 clearanced at Pier 1
- Durodesign cork floors - $1586
- Black Venata Soapstone counters - $2688.80 M. Texeira
- Cherry Butcherblock counters - $356.39 Lumber liquidators
- Insinkerator Garbage Disposal - $118.05 ebay
- 13 Glass Barcode tiles - $1027
- The rest of the tile - $60
- Drywall, saw blades, drill bits, recessed lights, uc led lights, garden window, french doors, caulk, paint, wood for additional custom projects etc. all out of the Lowe's rebates.
- For a grand total of approximately $21695.56. Not quite an under $20k kitchen, but pretty darn close.
Thank You's: I found the KF a little late in my journey, but I wouldn't have come across the MW drawer without the forum. Reading posts from other TKOers helped to keep me sane during the long process when all I wanted to do was talk kitchens, and nobody in real life wanted to hear any more about it.

Introduction:
Demo started Oct 2011.
We are a young family (2 kids, aged 6 months and 2.5 years at the start of the project) and use our kitchen a lot. Feeding people is my passion so we needed a kitchen that would function well with better flow and use of space than the previous kitchen. It also needed to be able to grow with our family, allowing small helpers now who will eventually grow into full sized helpers with full sized appetites and who will bring home friends with full sized appetites! We want it always ready for action - from the routine daily family meals to the impromptu guests.
I found the old kitchen very dark and wanted much more light in the space. We wanted a bright, cheery, fun space that fits with our active family. I also wanted to be able to work there feeling surrounded by calmness and serenity when quiet finally descends on the house (ie when the kids go to bed). For me that is having a place for everything so the clutter can be kept down, having clean lines, and having finishes that I love.
The house was already open concept but some structural changes were made including removal of a load bearing post from the kitchen. In addition to the kitchen it was a complete gut of mainfloor and basement. The laundry was moved to the main floor from the basement, the previous kitchen cabinets were kept in order to repurpose in a hobby room in the basement in a few years. The previous fridge was in good condition and kept for extra storage in the basement. There are photos of the other areas of the project in the photobucket account.

14. Kitchen Additional Comments
Opinions: Love my new kitchen!
LOVES: the RED, soapstone, induction cooktop, drawers drawers drawers, pullout shelves in the pantry cabinet, Kohler Stages + accessories, spice drawer, tapmaster as childproofing for instahot, single level island, vertical divided shelving above fridge for trays/cookie sheets, trash/compost pullout, cutlery and dishes directly across from DW which makes unloading a breeze, Vac-pan
DISLIKES: Wish I had sorted out a better solution for the uppers in the corner (too bad I found Garden Web a bit too late!). I'm not very good with 3D planning and this upper corner is really very non-functional. Wish I had deeper uppers and a slightly deeper under/rear island storage (12"" cabinets).

14. Kitchen Additional Comments
Opinions: "Happy with the flow. Love base drawers for pots and pans. Cabinets very easy to clean. Color choices lend to a calm feeling. We have limited space and tried to cram in a lot of features. Would have sacrificed smaller upper cabinet and lower pantry pullout to allow for super Susan below instead of blind corner cabinet. Corner upper easy reach could have been larger.
Soapstone is a dream though currently having issues with water spots. Plan to touch base with fabricator to work this out. Would not have chosen a different material even if I had known this beforehand. Just love the softness to the touch and vintage feeling it gives to the whole space. "
Kitchen Cost:
- Cabinets-$12,000
- Soapstone-$4,900
- GC-$42,000 (includes wood floor, UCL, recessed lighting)
- Appliances-$6800
- Backsplash tile-$437
- Faucet-$415
- Pulls/knobs-$250
- Disposal-$200
- Air switch-$56
