Here's what I selected for my kitchen, what do you think?
Comments (10)I would point out that functionally there are 3 electric ovens. A better option may be to get the all gas range with an electric wall oven to have some variety. The gas ovens aren't self clean, but may be preferable in certain applications, depending how you cook. As far as refrigeration, you could get the 700bc combo unit to add freezer space if that were a problem. I personally find the pro48 fine in the freezer department. It has significantly more capacity than the 632 (11.7 v. 9.9 cu. ft.). You didn't mention dishwashers, but I would probably get 2 in your case if the volume of prep dishes and dinnerware is at all represented by the amount of food storage/cooking space you have. Maybe a Miele and a set of Dishdrawers would be good....See MoreWhat do you think of my architects idea for a galley kitchen?
Comments (37)I will have been living in a rental for 2 years on June 12th. My fire was 3 years ago last march 2nd. Pandemic lockdown started about 2 weeks later. Supply chain issues have plagued me. The biggest stumbling block has been was that Siemens multifamily (this is a triplex building) electrical panels were out of stock for about 18 months and might still be. I had internet alerts everywhere looking for one I could use. Amazingly ONE popped up on amazon that the city allowed even though I only need 400 amp... and there was NO price gouging. I could have sold that thing for 7k easily. I'll have a blank socket in this panel and its is massive but if I ever do an ADU I can add a seperate meter, so that's good. With that breakthrough in the project since the 1st of the year I've been able to move forward. My last insurance summary of loss said $2.5 mil... my current landlord will have made about $365,000 in rent in this 2 years. He only paid $320,000 for the house! You'd think that would have made someone less miserable and somewhat grateful but NO. Worst landlord ever....See MoreWhat do you think about raising a kitchen counter to 38"?
Comments (31)I raised the counters in my former house to 39". The DW sat on a little platform, which was hidden by a tall toe kick. The surrounding cabinets were taller, not just a higher toe kick. Picture below kind of shows it. We did that kitchen in 2008, and I never even thought about how the toe kick looked, just that I liked that the DW was higher. Now I'm doing a remodel in a different house. Just yesterday my KD and I met with the cabinet maker to finalize the design, and I'm raising just the island to 38". (Perimeter stays standard height because I have a range.) He asked about raising the DW (on island, paneled) vs having a trim piece on top, and I voted to raise it again. NOTE: In this case, I'll have a taller toe kick under all the island cabinets. I'm not concerned because it faces an aisle so no one will see it. If I opted to keep the DW lower, I could have had taller cabinets / deeper drawers, and kept a consistent toe kick across the bottom. Neither the cabinet maker nor my KD liked the thought of a raised DW with a tall toe kick next to cabinets with a standard toe kick. So here are the choices as I see them: 1) raise DW and all toe kicks; 2) keep DW low with trim at top, keep all toe kicks standard, get taller cabinets/deeper drawers; 3) have a staggered toe kick with taller under a raised DW, standard under the surrounding cabinets. old house DW, 39" counters:...See MoreWhat do you think of dimensions for proposed window in kitchen update?
Comments (11)As someone who can visualize in 3D, I can picture in my mind what you have spelled out in your question above. With the window being the same length as the cabinet run will look very contemporary; as well as no uppers. However, the window being right beneath the wood vent hood at 36" wide and the full length of the cabinet run will actually make everything look dwarfed and/or squatty on that wall. I recommend sketching this view out for your own eyes, then try placing optional sized window(s) alternative looks. I think you will begin to see what I am referring to and will help you decide on the best look....See More
