Details:
  • Cabinets: Decora, Cherry, Arlington stain. Blumotion, full extension are standard features with this cabinet line.
  • Countertop: Hawaiian Green granite aka Tropical Green/ Kerala Green/ Verde Laura.
  • Backsplash: also Hawaiian Green granite
  • Appliances (all GE Monogram - DH works for GE and we got a VERY good discount)
    - dishwasher: GE Monogram
    - refrigerator: 42" GE Monogram
    - range: 6 burner GE Monogram with griddle option
    - hood: GE Monogram
    - microwave: GE Monogram Advantium model 120
  • Sink: Galaxy Tools Ticor S405-DR
  • Faucet: Brizo Floriano in stainless steel finish (e-bay seller 5borough). The airswitch (also stainless steel) came from GalesburgElectric.com. The disposal is GE 1HP continuous feed.
  • Lighting: My installer supplied the light cans. The pendants are made by Access Lighting, bought as a close-out from lamps-lighting on ebay. The UL (LED pucks, self-adhesive) came from BJ’s - $30 for 6. I pretty much never use the UL, so I am glad I didn’t spend a fortune on the wired UL.
  • Paint: BM Tyler Taupe.
  • Pulls: purchased on ebay from Contempo Living (a great seller!)
  • Floor: we kept the 'old' floor, as it was replaced just before we bought the house by the previous owner. It is just fine (ceramic 12x12 tile) and it covers a good chunk of the first floor so it would be very wasteful and a pain too to replace it.
  • The crock was made by a local artist, Darren Prodger from Saratoga Clayworks.
  • Nifty idea: hiding the phone and cell phone charger inside a wall cabinet. The outlet was put through the cabinet side adjacent to the wall, so the regular phone is hidden, and so are the wires for charging mobiles.
The floor plan remained the same to what the previous kitchen was - what I mean by that is that no walls were removed. The previous owner had a eat-in kitchen but with the formal dining room next door, I would've much more preferred more cabinets (especially since there was no pantry closet) and counter space. So the new kitchen now has all 4 walls plus a peninsula. Basically it is 2 L shaped bits. The sink/range walls are 11X9 (old kitchen), and the fridge/12' side walls are 9X8. The peninsula is 5X2.

Cabinets: Wall >36"high

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!!
