Please help us pick out our new kitchen appliance
Comments (2)Just saw your post, hope this isn't too late. We're in a similar situation - new construction, narrowing down our appliance selection. We have a while yet, framing is barely underway. Our builder includes a $3500 budget (GE mid-range), not including fridge, and gets some very deep discounts from a local store that has beaten every online price I've seen by at least 15%. We are planning to add $3k - $4k of our own money (pre-tax) and get nice, functional, but not top-of-the-line stuff. Your selections are somewhat similar to ours so far. I've put our price (incl. builder discount) in parentheses. Fridge - Samsung RFG297AA ($1999) Oven - Frigidaire FGET3065KF ($1732) Cooktop - Kitchenaid KFGS366VSS ($907) Rangehood (ducted) - undecided, considering Broan RP230SS or similar, but I'm not sure I like the side intakes. Microwave - undetermined, but it won't be anything fancy. I only use microwaves for reheating non-meat leftovers, or thawing things before cooking them. Dishwasher - GE GDWF160RSS, so far. ($494) We have been planning this house for about 3 years, so I've done a fair bit of research - except for the wall ovens, since until very recently we had planned a single wall oven/micro combo. Selections seem to be pretty solid combos of performance, features and price....See Moreit's the 'help me pick stools' thread again...my turn!
Comments (23)They're HERE! They arrived today. Sitting on my porch when I got home from work. Sorry for the cell phone photo but it's just a quick shot to show how they look next to my IKEA butcherblock countertop under my breakfast bar. They seem very sturdy. I was a little concerned about the legs as well but I think I could jump up and down on these. Those legs are more chubby and hefty than I expected. I really like them. I did beeswax them with the same finish from my countertops so they won't be sitable for a couple of days until that has a chance to settle into the oak really well but here is a photo of them......See MoreKitchen Ideas: Help us pick one!
Comments (10)I think you're going to see a trend here -- the third one and the last two, which have a similar arrangement. The difference is in the appliances, and you know what you really need and will use and what is buying extra toys that won't get played with. I probably favor the third one for that reason, but I think your prep sink would be better placed on the side of the island facing the range and closer tot he fridge unless you intend to use it as a bar sink and not a prep sink and don't want a prep sink. But in that case, I'd be looking at a wine cooler, beverage fridge and/or ice maker down at that end of the kitchen rather than a second cooktop and ovens. I think you have zeroed in on a general arrangement, but think about what appliances you really need and will use enough to not only pay for the appliances but also dedicate the space to them even when they are not in use....See MoreHelp me pick bar stools please
Comments (11)It doesn't look like At Home has stores in California. The last stool I posted is online only...I like the look too, just think my butt would get sore :) Seems like no one especially likes the upholstered stools I posted? Here are a few more without the tufting from Wayfair...I wish they'd show pics of the backs! Laurel Foundry $192 Sunpan Modern West Vintage $332...See MoreBoxerpal
