Details:
- Cabinets: Showplace Wood Products; "Breckenridge" door style, in maple; "Antique Soft Cream with Ivory Glaze" finish. Seeded glass. Bun feet.
I LOVE the under-cabinet molding (trim) on the wall cabinets... I think it's my favorite "small detail". Really made a HUGE difference in looking "finished". Some of the best $200 we spent in the whole project!!! ;o)
- Countertop: Granite is Santa Cecelia Light, slabs hand-picked at Mont Granite in Solon, OH.
- Sink: Blanco 1 3/4 bowl silgranit sink in color "Biscuit"
- Faucet: Delta Saxony faucet in SS finish
- Appliances:
~ GE slide-in gas range, model #PGS908SEM.
~ GE microwave, model #PEB20605SM1SS (built in w/ trim kit).
~ KitchenAid french door fridge, model #KBFS20ETSS01. Counter depth
~ KitchenAid D/W, model #KUDC03FVSS0.
~ we reused our KitchenAid disposer, it was new
- Lighting:
~ Fixtures by Murray Feiss, from the "Alexandria" collection.
~ Low-voltage xenon under-cabinet lighting by American Lighting.
- Flooring: Tarkett Fiber Floor (one piece vinyl) - color/style: Arizona Saltio, Taupe #38062.
- Paint:
~ Kitchen walls: Ralph Lauren Polo paint, "Fairy's Wren" color, in eggshell finish, number NA61
~ Paint color (face of soffit), a Pratt and Lambert color specially matched to cabinets, in satin finish.
~ Dining room walls: SW Ivoire, velvet finish.
~ Crown molding and trim (both rooms): SW semi-gloss white.
~ Ceiling (both rooms): SW basic flat white.
- Hardware: You savvy GW'ers will no doubt notice that we reused the hardware from the old kitchen. ;o) We bought it not too long ago when we gave the old kitchen a little "face-lift", with full intention to re-use it when we remodeled.
- Barstools: purchased locally for WAY CHEAP! ($100 for all three!) (I ">hope to replace my table, chairs and bar stools in the not-so-distant future.
- Gel-Pro mat, color: Truffle
- Kitty fountain: Drinkwell Platinum
- TV: "by D:sign" from Walmart for about $100
- "Bon Appetit" lettering above the window: matte black vinyl graphic purchased from eBay (under $20!)
- Coffeemaker: the new Keurig coffee maker. Our "Coffee Corner" with new "Fresh Java" sign.
Do It Yourself: One of the FEW parts of our DIY project that we did NOT do ourselves was the hanging/installing of the cabinets. We had the professional installer from the kitchen design company do that for us.
Kitchen design by The Kitchen Village, Corry & Erie, PA.
Kitchen design complements our 1600 SF Cape Cod home (built in the 50's).
The step-up "shelf" behind the sink was added for interest and to kinda balance out the step-up bar at the opposite side of the room.

Details:
- Cabinetry: Showplace cabinets in cherry. The perimeter cabs are ‘truffle’ stained with a ‘walnut’ glaze. The island is ‘coffee’ stained.
- Counter: New Ornamentale granite. I love the lighter granite – always looks clean!
- Cabinet glass (in uppers on either side of the sink): Rain
- Backsplash: Tumbled botticino marble with 2x2 bronze renaissance inserts. Rope is Westminster 1x6 bronze.
- Sink: Ticor. I love the large basin and grates – makes washing dishes almost enjoyable!!
- Faucet: Price Pfister Picardy in venetian bronze
- Hardware: ORB from YourHomeSupply.com
The pull is the 5 3/4" at $2.19 (there also is a 3 1/2" version that I used on built-in cabs in the adjoining family room): http://www.yourhomesupply.com/p-331-oil-rubbed-bronze-country-cabinet-hardware-pull-cp6718r-ob.aspx
The knob is $1.69: http://www.yourhomesupply.com/p-348-oil-rubbed-bronze-3-ring-cabinet-hardware-knob-cp6971-ob.aspx
- Paint: Devine oak
- Floor: BR-111 Amendoim in ¾" solid. It also runs down the hall and into our foyer. It has transformed our main level and we get tons of compliments on it.
- Pendants: Progress Lighting, Renovations series
- table and chairs: my fun estate sale find (painted after the fact) - I fell in love with the scrollwork/detail on the chairbacks!
More info:
Our lay-out has stayed pretty much the same as before with a few enhancements. Our ceilings are 9 feet and some of the cabinets now extend to the ceiling. The island is slightly larger to accommodate seating for 2. The desk has been replaced with a coffee/breakfast/snack area that has eliminated a lot of traffic in the ‘work zone’ by my kids. Great side benefit to the additional storage on that wall! Also, we added banks of drawers where there were base cabinet shelves for easier access to things. Oh, and I really like the garbage disposal airswitch.
The island cabinets are 18" deep. I didn't use a leg, as I thought it would get in the way. My kitchen is small and the entrance to the room is right there. The final counter is 28"-32" (curved side) x 60". The overhang is 12" deep in the center. The end cabinet on the island (you can see it in the last picture) is 24" deep for the pull-out trash cabinet (I was insistent on getting double bin recycling).
