I have the sales brochures for the Elux ovens, which show the both the "Pro" and "Designer" series. If you like, I can mail them to you, it shows the Fridges, and DW's too. Also the wine fridge, which I have, and again trouble free, cept once a year or so I hafta clean the cat hairs out of the filter for it, but takes maybe a half hour. My Email is: glj1942@hotmail.com so if you email me your address I will send these brochures, keep as long as you want, but eventually send them back in case somebody else here would like to see them. (Hopefully it's not against the rules to post email addy). I'm just an old f*** and not a dealer, seller, etc etc). Also I recalls Trevor, at Euro Stoves, In Mass, showed a picture of his place and in that picture was the Elux Icon Designer series Oven and Speed Oven, as I recall----so You may want to contact him first, to see if He still has those ovens, If He does, There is NO BETTER PLACE to buy them. I have a Dental appointment now, (cleaning) yeah I still have my own teeth, how bout that??? AFter I get back I will post a picture or 2 from the oven, but I think the brochures will be more helpful. Later, Cheers! Gary

We chose Tebas Black for our countertops because first we wanted Silestone and then TB was the closest color to a solid black that we could get. The Anubis Black has a little more of a pattern (but very subtle) and, therefore, may show less fingerprints, etc. TB is a really beautiful tile but AB is also very nice. Hope this helps.

Absolutely do not order from somewhere like Home Depot! I researched Silestone Dealers in BC(for the lower mainland), and every counter top and kitchen place that I hit always went back to the same person in Abbotsford. It was explained to me that he had the license to sell Silestone in this area. He quoted me $6700 installed for our kitchen. Home Depot? $9400! Granted I changed a raised bar from a curved design, which I presented to HD, to a straight one, but I don't think the price discrepancy should come to almost $3000. Do some reasearch on the computer and see who sells Silestone in your area.

Hello! I have lurked here for a while and enjoy everyone’s projects and am amazed at the knowledge and helpfulness from everyone. Now we are planning to make changes to our kitchen and I need your advice. This started when we decided to get a new oven with a proof option because my husband often bakes bread. Then a new cooktop sounded like a good idea, and a new downdraft to go with it. So, of course, we have to get new counter tops for the cooktop to sit on! My husband does not want to paint or replace the cabinets. We are not doing this to sell the house. We’d like to make it the way we like it. We know what we like when we see it, but are not creative enough to imagine it. That’s why we are asking for advice. The current cabinets, Subzero refrigerator, sink, and faucet will stay. The dishwasher is a Miele which is working fine, but it would be nice to have a new quieter dishwasher and get all the ‘remodeling’ done at the same time. An oven with a French door or side opening door is appealing, but not required. We have seen the Wolf appliances and like them. We’ve also seen Thermador and liked those, but I don’t have model numbers. I am open to other brands and models, and want quality that won’t break. The appliances don’t all have to be the same brand. These are the models we are considering: Wolf SO30TE/S/TH oven Wolf CG304T/S cooktop Best Cattura down draft (1st choice) with exterior motor. Wolf DD30 down draft (2nd choice) I need a lot of advice on the counters. We like the Cambria marble collection. We don’t like a lot of movement or large pattern in the counter, but do like small veining. We don’t know whether light/white or dark/black would go better with the oak cabinets, but we are leaning toward the light/white counters. We’ve seen these: Cambria Swanbridge Silestone Eternal Statuario Silestone Iconic Black I would like a ‘window sill’ or ‘shelf’ made from the counter material across the bottom of all 4 of the windows behind the sink, like a wide window sill. But don’t know what is possible or how to describe what I want. The sink/faucet is pretty close to the window directly behind it. I am attaching current photos of the kitchen. Thank you for your advice! http://i1266.photobucket.com/albums/jj539/mg999999/IMG_0996_zpssgslxeqi.jpg http://i1266.photobucket.com/albums/jj539/mg999999/IMG_0988_zpsbxmvv25y.jpg?1525547129078&1525547129468
