	Our 'Cottage Modern' Kitchen is finished!! posted by: beachlvr on 11.24.2006 at 01:12 pm in Kitchens Forum Our new kitchen (part of a larger remodel/addition) had it's inagural event on Thanksgiving. Thank you SO much to all of the wonderful members here who gave me so many ideas (mostly through lurking!!) and the confidence to tell our GC exactly what I wanted. I stuck to what I wanted and it turned out even better than I had imagined. The best part is how the kitchen functions for our family. We have two young children who spend a great deal of time eating, coloring and doing homework at the island. We also have a big dog who has plenty of room to lie down right in my way LOL. Some details... Custom cabinets painted BM Super White Black graite with eased edge (I think) Santa Angelica Appliances- KA except bev. fridge- GE monogram Back splash- Durago travertine mini-brick Sinks- Blanco Faucets- Grohe Ladylux and ?? Chairs- Target on-line! (and I love them!!) Pulls & Knobs- CabinetHardwareDesigns on E-Bay (very reasonable and great quality) Pendant Lights- Lowes Please feel free to ask any questions if there's anything else you'd like to know. Here's a slideshow if you'd like to see more.

	My kitchen is done (pics...I hope!) posted by: jerseygirl06 on 10.25.2006 at 04:30 pm in Kitchens Forum Hi all, our kitchen was finished in early July but I had a baby a week (!) later and didn't have time to post an update here. Even though I didn't post a lot during our renovation, I loved reading everyone else's posts - they really helped me a lot. Here are the details on the kitchen - hope the photos work as this is the first time I am using PB. Good luck to all of you who are still going through your renovations! http://s125.photobucket.com/albums/p74/abigailzandri/ Kitchen is very small - 8x10 not including the fridge and pantry alcove. Cabinets - KraftMaid, Huntington, Bisque Glaze Granite - Black Impala Range and Micro - Frigidaire Fridge - Amana DW - Whirlpool Sink - Don't know! It's SS D-shape. Faucet - Danze Opulence Subway Tile - don't know brand, but it's 3x6 subway tile in biscuit crackle finish Floors - red oak, natural finish Paint - Walls - Ben Moore Bennington Grey; Trim - Ben Moore Linen White Windows - Andersen Total cost - we did our master bath at the same time, so not sure of breakdown between the two, but if I had to guess I would say $35-40K. The kitchen was completely gutted and we had some plumbing and electrical nightmares. Cheers! NOTES: <none> clipped on: 11.04.2006 at 12:42 pm last updated on: 11.04.2006 at 12:42 pm

	How much does your Rohl farmsink stick out?? posted by: sarahandbray on 10.26.2006 at 12:47 pm in Kitchens Forum My GC wants to know how far into the room (past the cabinets) the sink sticks out when you install it. How far does yours stick out? He thought it would have to be about 1.5" to be able to cut-out the shape. Thanks!! (any more pics are greatly appreciated too!!)

	RE: show me your DIY painted cabinets (Follow-Up #10) posted by: bamaspice on 10.11.2006 at 09:33 pm in Kitchens Forum Mine were thermofoil. So the before is with the laminate peeled off and the ugly mdf underneath. I first washed them down. Then sanded with very fine sand paper. Then primed with behr primer. Then painted with latex. Then glaze with raw umber glaze. One thing that I did was take the cabinet doors down and place them on a cardboard box on top of a lazy susan. Having the doors on top of lazy susans allowed me to turn the cardboard box to reach all sides of the door. Here's the before.... here's the after: NOTES: <none> clipped on: 10.12.2006 at 08:34 am last updated on: 10.12.2006 at 08:34 am

	RE: $ saving countertops vs granite (Follow-Up #10) posted by: awm03 on 08.13.2006 at 09:28 am in Kitchens Forum Crossville has a new tile out, the Character series, that comes in 24 x 24 + bullnose pieces. I think it would make a beautiful countertop: lovely shading & texture, & it's porcelain so it wears like iron. It's designed to take small grout lines. Under $8/sq. ft.

	RE: Is there any Formica that 'looks' high end?? (Follow-Up #34) posted by: beths96 on 08.06.2006 at 09:37 am in Kitchens Forum I really am happy with the look of my laminate. The reason I chose this pattern is because it looked like laminate, not like laminate trying to look like something else. Many people on here have commented to me "it looks like soapstone!" or something like that, which makes me feel like a million dollars! There was a poster earlier in this thread who mentioned a DIY kitchen with red walls in late 2003/early 2004...I know there were several of us with red/white/black kitchens during that time. Anyways, here are my pictures. I love my laminate!! It's Wilsonart Graphite Nebula, btw. http://www.countertop.com/products/viewitem.asp?idproduct=234&idCategory= Beth Here is a link that might be useful: My laminate, Wilsonart, Graphite Nebula NOTES: <none> clipped on: 09.29.2006 at 02:27 pm last updated on: 09.29.2006 at 02:27 pm
