Details:
  • Cabinets: custom. The doors, are, get this, and dont be dissapointed, MDF. With a Rift Cut White Oak veneer laid on top, with matching edgebanding, all nicely sealed. All plywood boxes, with Baltic birch plywood for all the drawers. The MDF does not warp like some flat panels do.
  • Countertop: Silestone Blanco Maple (gloss, not leather) countertops
  • Backsplash: tumbled marble backspash
  • Appliances: Sub Zero, Wolf, Diva, and Asko.
  • Sink: Blanco Steelart sink
  • Faucet: Piani faucet. It is wicked. This was a hard thing for us both to decide on, probably the toughest purchase. It has dual spray, magnetic head, and we LOVE it!
  • Brew Express built in coffee machine (awesome)
  • Floor: dura ceramic floor (heated, another nice touch)
  • top of the line slides for the drawers. The name is slipping me, but my cabinet maker said there were the best I could get !
  • Insinkerator
  • Under cab lighting
  • Some really nice touches on the pull out pantry
  • Sliding cutlery trays built into the cabs!!
