Comments (7)Hello everyone and thanks! I guess I should of better explained myself. From the sounds of my first post, it is written as if I have done no homework, no research, and don't have a clue of where to begin. That is all false. It sort of seems like I gave that impression. I definitely have done my homework. I was just looking for anything last minute I guess, like maybe something that I am forgetting about or didn't think about. I have already met with the "cabinet guy" - I already have my layout down. I know what organizational things I want for the most part. Just trying to envision where I want everything placed and so that is one thing. I am pretty set on appliances for most part. Thinking my Miele coffee station I want to move from the kitchen area over to the hutch though in the breakfast room. I am thinking I want a "beverage station" in the hutch. So, I would like a wine cooler with area for misc. beverages too (kids stuff, beer, glass bottled iced teas, etc....) Don't need a big wine cooler. We barely drink it, but would be nice to have a few bottles kept in the correct temp and then if it is one that can hold misc. drinks too, then that would be perfect. ??? Or just a small 15 wine center frig, and maybe a refrig drawer for all the other beverages. I appreciate all the links that I will definitely page through. I still have a few hours till my bedtime! haha! :) Seriously though, thanks to all. I guess I should of clarified a bit....I was really just looking for any last minute tid-bits that maybe I am not thinking about. I would be in big trouble if I was just starting to plan my kitchen tonight with only 10 hours till I have to have final answers to cab man. I have spent countless hours over the last few months on all this. Just trying to cover all bases I guess. Thanks again!...See MorePlease help! Need help, advice, and ideas regarding kitchen
Comments (16)Thank you for all responses/advice. Very helpful/useful. Excavation is supposed to start this week (that's how early we are in the build, no dirt has been dug yet). Cabinets have not been ordered yet (but need to decide/order soon). I do not like the idea of having the kitchen in the front of the house (where the dining room currently is), irregardless if a wall separates it from the entry foyer. What is most important to me is an open concept between the kitchen and great room. Moving the kitchen to the front of the house is not an option. Additionally, I do like the idea of having a more "formal" dining room, rather than a common eating area shared with the great room. I spent anywhere from 1-3 hours in the kitchen daily between cooking/near the stove, prepping, and washing dishes by the sink. I want to see the great room and converse with whomever is in there. Having said that, I don't like any plans with spending majority of time staring/looking at the staircase, either regular staircase or stairs down to the basement. I've asked before - can't move the porch or add bay windows to the front of the house. :)...See Moreplease help! kitchen lighting and fixture advice needed!
Comments (2)An electrician should be able to help you determine how many recessed / can lights you need. If you share a floor plan of your kitchen, you'll get better help from the pros on here. The brushed Champagne Bronze on Delta's website (no champagne gold listed) definitely looks like it has a pink-ish undertone on my screen. No idea what it looks like IRL. I don't think finishes necessarily have to match, but they do need to coordinate and undertones should be the same. That being said, I have unlacquered brass knobs and rails on my range and various other fixtures in my kitchen. They don't have the same names, but the undertones are all the same. I would keep looking at faucets and try to find something without the pink undertones. ETA: I know you said your island is 9' long, how wide is it?...See MoreSamantha
