Read Me If You're New To GW Kitchens! [Help keep on Page 1]
Comments (146)While I'd love to add all sorts of "useful" threads, there comes a point where I have to say no...I cannot link every thread here! This thread already is overloaded with things and adding more will only make it worse. I suggest that if you find a thread particularly helpful that you bookmark it. Then, if someone posts a thread asking for help that one of your bookmarked threads fits, link it in that thread. Besides, for many things it's nice to get a new thread b/c new ideas & people are around that can be captured in a new thread. Old threads are great for "how tos" and things that don't really change over time, but for appliances, etc., it's a good idea to get new, more up-to-date information periodically....See MoreRead Me If You're New To GW Kitchens!

Comments (4)Buehl, please do! I was just trying to save something of use. I'd been checking the GW all night, turned my back for 15 minutes to watch the Health Care vote, and whammo! all the posts were gone. I kept refreshing, thinking, "This can't be!"...See Moreplease help me find my finished kitchen on GW!
Comments (9)Jolynna: I would love to see your finished kitchen with the Jet Mist and white subway tile. Did you ever post it? I did enhance the Jet Mist. The fabricator had already applied a sealer, though, and I am convinced to this day that applying the enhancer on top of that was not ideal, because even though I LOVE the way the granite looks with the enhancer, I still have some issues with streaking and water rings and some general marks I don't like (but that probably only I can see). I think the best approach is to have the enhancer applied onto "naked" granite. It is also a sealer, so there is no need for a separate sealer. In terms of what you like best, that is really just based on your own tastes. While I did like the grayer look of the original Jet Mist, my original concept was for a much blacker stone (like Absolute Black), so I was happy that the enhancer made the grayish Jet Mist much more black. But if you like it the way it is then perhaps you should keep it. You can always apply the enhancer later if you choose to. It's really easy to do. Good luck!...See MorePlease help me figure out best kitchen layout?
Comments (13)Wow, so many replies so quickly! Thank you. I will try to answer all the questions but I might miss something... * In our part of Texas, there are NO basements because the water table is simply too high. * We also do not have a garage. * The laundry room is too small to steal any space from (the washer and dryer back right up to the kitchen's adjoining wall) nor is there any room in there for the freezer. * Totally agree about the wasted space 'down south'. My ultimate dream would be to bump out the wall and build a 'great room' there with tons of windows to catch our spectacular sunsets. * With 4 kids always in and out for drinks, balls, or potty breaks, or for hubby to get to his grill or the shed, the back door really is used very regularly. And yes, it really is only a 30" aisle. * The entry/front door measurements are a bit off since I started too near the top of the paper and ran out of room, lol. The entry itself is 53" (of which the open front door cuts into by 36"), but there is a framed walkway into the kitchen/DR which only measure 46" W , if that makes sense. It really is a bizarre layout. I apologize for the crude sketch - I know I need to do it properly in some online software or something but I still need to learn how. :)...See Morebragu_DSM 5
