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)

White Shaker Kitchen with Delirium Granite

Details:
- Cabinets: custom alder cabinets (all plywood), painted BM Simply White
- Countertops: Delirium granite
- Refrigerator: GE Profile 22 cu ft
- Range: Electrolux slide in electric EW30ES65GS
- DW: Electrolux
- OTR Micro: Electrolux (because the Panasonic one to replace our favorite microwave wasn't going to be available in time.)
- Hardware: Stainless bar pulls from yourhomesupply.com
- Sink: Ticor S112
- Faucet:Grohe Ladylux
- Floors: Bellawood prefinished 2 1/4" natural oak
- Undercabinet lights: Kichler Xenon
- Recessed lights: all 4100K fluorescent
- Message board: The whole thing is only 3" deep. The cork in the door is just a 1/4" thick corkboard tile.
- Paint: "Canvas Cloth" from ICI
Background:The kitchen is 9'3" wide by 9'8" long, so it's not a big space, but it's amazing how much bigger it seems with white cabinets and without that gigantic pantry cupboard blocking the view. The peninsula is 48" long from the wall, leaving me with a little over 36" for the walkway.
This was almost completely diy within the family. My dad's a general contractor and was invaluable to the overall process. My uncle, also a GC, built the cabinets and did the granite. In the space of a week and a half we did all the demo, lighting, electrical, a little plumbing, flooring install, sheetrock patching, painting, cabinets, granite etc. The only thing I hired out was having the sheetrock taped, floated and textured, I know my limits! Because of this, and the powers of the internet for finding deals, the total cost was only $15,000 for everything including appliances.

The cabinets do not go all the way to the ceiling. The house was built in 1925. The ceiling now slopes. It would have been too difficult to match the slope. We like the shadow line that is created by not going all the way up.

More details:
Our kitchen is fairly compact, a typical size for a San Francisco Victorian flat built in 1892. It's an efficient 10' x 11' galley style floorplan, open to the dining room on one end and the deck on the other. We did all the planning and design ourselves and relied on a general contractor to execute it. Everything from the old 1980s kitchen was taken out, except for the more recent soap dispenser. We resold all the old appliances, fixtures, and cabinet hardware on Craigslist. We also made ample use of Craigslist, eBay, and online vendors to acquire appliances and materials. In fact, the new range, used (but pristine) hood, and countertop fabricator all came by way of Craigslist, saving us megabucks.
