We moved in just over a year ago and I finally just posted my kitchen reveal on the kitchen forum. all the details regarding my appliances are in the post! my posting...See Morekitchen reveal almost completed not staged kitchen-need tile help
Comments (96)This is my FAVORITE FAVORITE GW kitchen. It has soul and personality. I look at your pictures and just want to wander in there and linger, feeling the coziness and healing properties of that welcoming and nurturing space. It feels like a li'l ol' soft grandma with arms outstretched waiting to hug me. It does NOT remind me of so many cold, hard casket like fancy kitchens in the pictures. This one has a warm heartbeat throughout. Fantastic job, and I'm sure with the elbow grease/blood/sweat/tears you put into her you'll love her all the more over the years!!...See MoreFinished kitchen reveal (after 40+ years with the same kitchen)
Comments (66)@nosoccermom - good questions! :) I really love my kitchen. Both the function and aesthetics of it. I must have spent a gazillion hours researching, looking at options, reading, etc. And in the end, I am very happy with my choices. But, there are a few things I would do differently: 1. Prep/bar sink - I would skip it if I were to do things over. I hardly ever use it. I drank the "Gardenweb Kool-aid" regarding prep sinks and should have known it wouldn't be that useful for me. That said, I do like how it looks, and it makes a handy "hiding" place for things on the counter. ;) 2. Ventilation - we have a challenging configuring that was better suited to a downdraft unit. But I love the look of the overhead hood, so went for it. It's not terrible, but I am sure it would function better with a downdraft. I would probably still have the hood facade, but then have a DD for actual ventilation. Favorite things: 1. My appliances (hopefully I won't jinx myself by saying this!). They've all performed beautifully. Love my microwave drawer - so much easier and more functional. French door fridge is great (adore the filtered water dispenser inside); and my induction cooktop and ovens have been wonderful. I got brave enough to try the self-clean function on my ovens not long ago, and it worked great. 2. My backsplash. Makes me happy to look at it. Even though it was a splurge, it was totally worth it. 3. Drawers! Love, love them - especially the ones for pots/pans, bowls, serving dishes and baking supplies. 4. And, similarly - drawer inserts/dividers for spices, knives, utensils, etc. Love having a place for everything! Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions......See MoreKitchen Reveal 2! Dark Green, Black, and White
Comments (50)Go for the green! Not difficult to find white marble with dark veining but very difficult at my price range and to find the exact veining I wanted. Calcutta black was too expensive and I wanted very dark and not too close together. I found this one and was so happy and then they cut the backsplash on the wrong part of the slab by accident!! The left 1.5 feet of it was not supposed to be used, and that’s the one type of mistake that cannot be fixed. Oh well, I’m still happy with it but at the time boy was I upset (see slab and approved template below. Just shows every project has its problems. I also used enhancing sealer which made the veins darker. Sorry probably way more info than you asked for haha....See Morekellysib
