Approximate cost: $35-40,000.00 I say "approximate" because the labor portion was part of a whole-house remodel in which we knocked down three walls, built a new dining room and a master suite (adding a bathroom)...so it's hard to splice out the labor costs exactly.
Places I saved: Appliances! Bought the fratelli and futuro futuro online at ajmadison--free shipping and no tax. Samsung fridge-highly rated, very reasonably priced, Dishwasher-closeout from adu.com at $400.00! All I had to do was drive 30 minutes to pick it up. Microwave/Convection--from adu.com closeouts as well. Cabinet Hardware: I went cheap...and don't regret it at all...I like them! Ebay: sink and faucet at well below retail. Recessed lighting from Ikea--it's fabulous and the electrician said no different and in fact better than some "higher end" versions. Saved my original schoolhouse fixture and reused.
Places I splurged: Soapstone! Flooring-high-end Mannington product but I really loved it, and had the red oak toothed in to existing original read oak flooring at a premium..but love the results!
Cabinets were a save and a splurge at the same time. I wanted cherry and was used to Omega and Dynasty products which are very nice...but couldn't afford to outfit my new larger kitchen in that line. Brighton was very similar in quality--almost undetectable differences--and just cheaper enough to sway me. My cabinets were $13,000.00 Full Blumotion soft close, all the bells and whistles I would have gotten in Dynasty.
Construction Timeline: Again, this was a whole-house renovation where we remodeled every room on the main level except for one bathroom. We reconfigured one bedroom, added a closet, converted one bedroom plus the garage into a master bedroom, bathroom and walk-in closet, converted an existing aluminum sunroom into a new dining room. Installed an additional back door and landing, four new windows, moved and restored two existing built-in china cabinets, re-wired much of the house including moving the electrical panel and installing recessed lighting throughout. And of course, gutting and replacing the kitchen--we also knocked down three walls to create a more open kitchen/breakfast/dining plan and a wider entry to the living room. The first hammer fell in demo on June 23. Today we passed our final inspection. An amazing amount of work in such a short time. We lived here and homeschooled our kids here through the whole thing.
Budget: Our total costs for all labor, services and materials from soup to nuts (and we kept meticulous track of every purchase and cost) was $200,000.00 (not including original architect
Overall Timeline: Made my first calls to architects and design/build firms right after the new year. Had contracted with an architect/build firm by the end of January. Design began in earnest right away with the finished design ready at the beginning of May. Spent another 20 days shopping the plan around and we decided to go with a contractor rather than the architect's firm. Permitting was a real PITA and took longer than expected--if you're in Montgomery County, MD --build in extra time for this--it took us two weeks and four trips back to the permitting department just to get the plans pushed through and we weren't even changing our existing footprint or building new structure!
Although the kitchen was the last part constructed, it's the first we've moved back into. As we move back into the rest of the new spaces and unpack our pod I'll be posting pictures of the whole project for those interested.
Service Providers to recommend:
Well, my contractor was FABULOUS for this whole house remodel. We finished on time and on budget. They were clean, courteous, communicative and creative. If you live in the greater Washington DC area feel free to contact me and I can recommend. Similar raves about the electrician--and this was a BIG electrical job (we pretty much rewired the whole house.) Very competetive pricing from both of these guys too...
Stitches Etc. in Timonium MD: Can't say enough about these folks. I didn't end up buying from them because I chose different brands, but they specialize in Bertazzoni, Aga, Ventahood, Bosch, Miele and a few others. Incredible customer service--nice family-run business. http://www.stitchesetc.biz/index.html John was very knowledgable and patient with me on venting and hoods, and his wife was most helpful with the ranges...they are true enthusiasts.
Cabinet Discounters in Columbia, MD: I ended up with these guys after going all over town with one plan, being unhappy, and then starting from scratch. Matt Simms was my sales rep and was a perfect match for me because I knew what I wanted and he helped me realize it--he wasn't trying to make his own artistic statement on MY kitchen! Great communication, follow-up and customer service--including terrific suggestions along the way.
Bode Floors in Columbia MD: Again, customer service can't be beat. I kissed a lot of flooring frogs before I found this prince(ss). Linda Lawrence was my saleswoman. Installation was just typical--nothing special, nothing agregiously wrong.
Old Mill Soapstone near Charlottesville, VA: Sally O'Brien proprietor. Again, just one of the nicest people. She also quoted me the best price but for logistical reasons I went local instead with...
Carapace Stone in Savage MD: contracted through Cabinet Discounters with Creativeincounters as the fabricator. I got to pick my slabs and was present at templating. Happy with the results and price was competetive enough.
Appliance Distributors Unlimited (adu.com)--several locations in the MD/DC area: Check out their website closeouts. I was always treated like a first-class customer by their web sales rep and at their warehouse even though I was picking up heavily discounted appliances from their website. They treated me like a queen anyway.
Great on-line vendors with superior customer service:

Link to kitchen photos: http://www.pbase.com/infinitethought/kitchenAbout our photos: These pictures are made up from a series of wide-angle shots that have been "stitched" together to make a single picture. One of the artifacts in creating this type of panorama is that straight lines can appear bent or curved. The floor tile, drawer faces and cabinets can look curved in some places where they really are NOT.
