My finished kitchen--creamy cabinets, Caesarstone, black walnut..
Comments (84)Hello, I am in agreement with all the other posters. This kitchen is to die for!! I am so glad to see the pictures as I am in the process of planning our kitchen remodel. Can you give me an idea of the price point for Caesarstone? I happened to find a granite called Mont Blanc that looks a little similar, I think it was somewhere in the 70 dollar price range..so was wondering how you would compare. Also, what made you pick the Caesarstone? Thanks again. Michelle...See MoreFinished kitchen: Ikea, walnut, marble and glossy white
Comments (77)Hi cv2014, I still love the look of our Semihandmade walnut, to me it's very warm. We briefly looked into having Semihandmade make panels for the side and the back of the island, but we wanted a more substantial edge and it just seemed like we'd have better luck getting it to all work out if we hired a finish carpenter to do the job. We're very happy with how it turned out. You can go to almost any good lumber store and purchase a full sheet of walnut veneer for not a lot of $$s. Depending on where it's used, it could be ok if it doesn't match perfectly with the Semihandmade walnut. The corner cabinet has a filler piece, I think it was around 4 inches, that gives enough clearance so that the cabinet door can open without worrying about having it hit the door to the right. In my case I think I was also concerned about clearance so it wouldn't hit the oven handle as well. That was solved by making the pull-out next to the over slightly wider than originally planned. These are the older Ikea cabinet style, so I'm not sure if the new style has the same kind of corner cabinet or not. Good luck with your planning!...See MoreHow to finish white oak floors with walnut cabinets
Comments (30)There is only one genuine Black Walnut. Its grown here in the United States. Lots of companies will import lesser quality species from other countries and generically call it "walnut" Sam Gentry cabinets are genuine Black Walnut....See MoreKitchen Counter Help - Maple Cabinets and Walnut Floors
Comments (11)The previous owner of our house also decided to replace the kitchen countertops (encouraged by the realtor) just before listing. I absolutely hate the countertop she picked. We offered less than asking price & they took it. I can't bring myself to tear out brand new counters, at least not yet. I would have been thrilled to have gotten an allowance to pick my own. The allowance might get you a great offer as opposed to people offering less or walking away from something they didn't like....See Morebrosamj

16 years agoVicnsb: Here is a picture of looking the other way back from the kitchen. It is kind of a hybrid family room/living room. Our true family room is downstairs but this are is more like a great room. Another thing we like is the rug. Those are Flor tiles and you can make any color design that you want with it and lay out the tiles in shapes that you want.
jenanla--I wasn't sure what if going with a copper sink was the way to go, but it has been my favorite thing in the kitchen. I love watching water in it and I love cleaning it (very easy to clean). They are beautiful sinks and I am so glad we went large and single bowl too. Here is a closer picture of it:
Thanks to you all for your nice words on our kitchen. We are just glad to be done with it all.
