Kitchen Highlights:
- Kraftmaid Cherry Shaker cabinets with Walnut Corner Pegs
- Soapstone and Cherry Butcherblock counters

Opinions: I love how our kitchen turned out. Ideally, I'd have had a wider space to work with and unlimited funds to afford both the $$$ and the space for a giant french range, but overall, I'm very happy with the kitchen. I do have plans to swap out the range for a double oven range, though.
Kitchen Cost:
- Kraftmaid Cherry Lynchburg Mission cabinets - $14169.54 but we received $2500 back in Lowe's rebate gift cards that were used for anything that doesn't have a dollar figure.
- Whirlpool Gold french door frig - $892 clearanced at Lowe's
- KB6524PS Sharp Microwave Drawer - $597 ebay
- 900cfm range hood - $190 ebay
- Ticor stainless steel undermount sink - $145
- Price Pfister Hanover pullout faucet - $70 ebay
- Glass pendant light (over sink) - $47.08 clearanced at Bellacor.com
- Pendant over peninsula - $49 clearanced at Pier 1
- Durodesign cork floors - $1586
- Black Venata Soapstone counters - $2688.80 M. Texeira
- Cherry Butcherblock counters - $356.39 Lumber liquidators
- Insinkerator Garbage Disposal - $118.05 ebay
- 13 Glass Barcode tiles - $1027
- The rest of the tile - $60
- Drywall, saw blades, drill bits, recessed lights, uc led lights, garden window, french doors, caulk, paint, wood for additional custom projects etc. all out of the Lowe's rebates.
- For a grand total of approximately $21695.56. Not quite an under $20k kitchen, but pretty darn close.
Thank You's: I found the KF a little late in my journey, but I wouldn't have come across the MW drawer without the forum. Reading posts from other TKOers helped to keep me sane during the long process when all I wanted to do was talk kitchens, and nobody in real life wanted to hear any more about it.

Small, Quartz, Stainless Steel Backsplash, Split Entry Kitchen
Details from AnnaA on 9/19/2012
Link to Anna's Gardenweb finished kitchen post
Link to Anna's Finished photos
Introduction:
A 1978 Split Entry small kitchen remodel completed in 2012. We took down a wall, creating an open space consisting of the kitchen, dining room, and living room. The original appliance footprint remained, except for the refrigerator which was moved to an adjoining wall, right against the original water source for the frig, which simplified the plumbing.
We chose a few unconventional features for all the right reasons, as we love its look and utility:
1. We wanted the stove on the island, and keeping the original footprint made it even more economical. But being able to see out windows and into the living space, since we spend most of our prep time next to the stove anyway, has been sheer joy.
2. We debated pros and cons of an open concept, of an island, of a raised bar. At the end of the day, we needed to maximize space, but with some sort of demarcation between kitchen and living room. So, we chose complimentary cabinet colors that differed from the wall cabs (green and stained respectively) and two complimentary quartz countertops (Silestone Zirconium on top of the stained cabs; and Lyra on top of the green island cabs). From a common design wisdom point of view, this was not considered a wise idea, but it has given us exactly what we want - a sense of difference yet compatibility in this open space.
3. We fell in love with stainless steal materials for the backsplash. We didn't want it to look cold and industrial, rather modern craftsman unique ... Hopefully, that's what we created. We feared that homemade pattern and assembly would look too much like a child's art project permanently fixed in an adult's ""real"" kitchen, but we LOVE the homemade imperfections. The bs is the item people immediately come in an touch and oh and Ahh over.
4. The raised island bar/nested Ls - the best of all possible designs, in our opinion. Each area of our island has / is dedicated space. The raised bar is great for eating, working. It stays clean and away from food prep. And it provides enough visual block into the kitchen without blocking an open feel or window view. The lower L...the work space on each side of that oven...oh my...heaven! And then the open level space next to the frig - perfect spot for a flat open surface, from putting groceries away, to cold food prep, to using various appliances stored underneath.

14. Kitchen Additional Comments
Opinions: Our next project will involve finding a way to relocate our steps as the split entry places a walkway next to a staircase. It isn't directly related to the kitchen, but is more noticeable now as a design flaw in our space.
The design feature I regret is the bump out at the sink. It forces the sink to sit further back. I have to lean forward a bit more - not easy on the back.
Thank-You's: I found Garden Web after the design was finished and materials were ordered. But the endless array of choices that still bombarded me - GW was a wonderful place for help and guidance. The good people on this forum helped me pick all the extras - hardware, the backsplash...tons of little things. An amazing forum!

Introduction:
Demo started Oct 2011.
We are a young family (2 kids, aged 6 months and 2.5 years at the start of the project) and use our kitchen a lot. Feeding people is my passion so we needed a kitchen that would function well with better flow and use of space than the previous kitchen. It also needed to be able to grow with our family, allowing small helpers now who will eventually grow into full sized helpers with full sized appetites and who will bring home friends with full sized appetites! We want it always ready for action - from the routine daily family meals to the impromptu guests.
I found the old kitchen very dark and wanted much more light in the space. We wanted a bright, cheery, fun space that fits with our active family. I also wanted to be able to work there feeling surrounded by calmness and serenity when quiet finally descends on the house (ie when the kids go to bed). For me that is having a place for everything so the clutter can be kept down, having clean lines, and having finishes that I love.
The house was already open concept but some structural changes were made including removal of a load bearing post from the kitchen. In addition to the kitchen it was a complete gut of mainfloor and basement. The laundry was moved to the main floor from the basement, the previous kitchen cabinets were kept in order to repurpose in a hobby room in the basement in a few years. The previous fridge was in good condition and kept for extra storage in the basement. There are photos of the other areas of the project in the photobucket account.

14. Kitchen Additional Comments
Opinions: Love my new kitchen!
LOVES: the RED, soapstone, induction cooktop, drawers drawers drawers, pullout shelves in the pantry cabinet, Kohler Stages + accessories, spice drawer, tapmaster as childproofing for instahot, single level island, vertical divided shelving above fridge for trays/cookie sheets, trash/compost pullout, cutlery and dishes directly across from DW which makes unloading a breeze, Vac-pan
DISLIKES: Wish I had sorted out a better solution for the uppers in the corner (too bad I found Garden Web a bit too late!). I'm not very good with 3D planning and this upper corner is really very non-functional. Wish I had deeper uppers and a slightly deeper under/rear island storage (12"" cabinets).
