No wonder you're excited! They are really beautiful!
I'll probably do the same thing once ours are installed,but for now they are sitting in our garage waiting for kitchen counter remodel.

Be sure and post pics once it is all finished.

Suzanne,
What range is that?
Thanks.

Really gorgeous and you have every right to be excited. Heck, I was excited just to gaze at the plywood sub-floor after I drew on the location of everything with a big, fat marker! Every step toward the new space you've been envisioning is exciting.

Did you make a decision on your tile and countertop?

warmfridge - it's the GE Cafe. I REALLY wanted a dual fuel range, but we don't have gas here and running a propane line wasn't going to happen. It came w/ a pancake griddle that spans 2 burners. (I think there's a bridge burner) My kids will find this hilarious when they find out, as I'm not the best cook. But am I SO motivated to practice, now!

Suzanne its gonna be gorgeous!! I JUST ordered my GE Cafe appliances today so I was thrilled to see your pics!! They look fantastic!

cawfeegirl (aka Suzanne!)

I just ordered the dual fuel Cafe and the vent hood today! Let us know how the first cooking session goes! Looks great so far.

BTW, I still have my old kitchen, and I can be found many nights staring into the corner...imagining what it will look like in February...

that looks great. I also love the GE cafe. Having a bit of a problem with the price. Wish I could find a great deal on it someplace. Anyway, your kitchen is looking wonderful. Can't wait to see it all finished.

I love your kitchen, beautiful appliances. I can totally understand you gazing at them lovingly. I also love the right-hand, lighter backsplash!

Very exciting! I'm right there with you!

Wonderful space.... So much fun.
Of course you want to just sit and be there. I would too.
It is all coming together and looking amazing.

I feel like that every step of the remodel. We've been doing ours s l o w l y
so as each new phase is completed, I've felt like that. I've just sat and gazed lovingly. Of course with a cup of coffee and my laptop at hand to share it all with my GW family ; )

Looks beautiful!! Keep us posted . . . take photos in between gazing.

I'm the same way. Once the cabinets are in you can really see how the kitchen is going to look, before it was just abstract!

Kitchen looks great! What are the backsplash tiles you're considering? I'm looking for a 1x2 brick option, so am happy to get ideas.

Petepie1 - the backsplash samples in the background are from Sonoma Tilemakers - Vihara style - puka (lighter) and minka (darker). The sample board looks a lot different (better) than the tiles on the card. If you want a closer, better pic of the tile, let me know and I'll post one.

We're using quartz (Zodiaq) for our counter in cloud white. There is a tiny (4x4) sample next to the stove in the one picture. The patches of gray wall here and there is BM Harbor Gray.

beautiful! what are your cabinets and floors?

Yes, it is a good feeling, but it is like waiting for your birthday when you expect a big gift. Every day gets closer, but it takes forever to get to the prize/completed project. It's hard to wait.

Love your stove!! I just got the same one.......like it so far!

parsuzi-You kitchen is looking beautiful! I can't wait to see the rest. I love your backsplash choices. Which one are you going with? Or perhaps you're waiting until you get your counters in. Yes, I too was just as excited. It's so fun to remodel.

It is going to be beautiful! I can totally sympathize. We haven't even started demolition yet, but I have most of my appliances stored in the garage. I went down there Christmas morning just to look at some of them. sighhh.. I can't wait to see them installed.

I felt like a little girl playing "house" in a pretend kitchen down there.. lol.. all that was missing was a tiny tea set.

Gorgeous already. I am very excited for you! Waiting to feel that way myself...

Megpie -I THINK we're going with the darker backsplash, although I would like to wait until the counter is in to finalize that decision.

I'm concerned the 1 x 2 glass might be a little too busy....yet I can't find anything else I like quite as well...

RE: Megpie/backsplash question....

I am hesitating committing to a backsplash because ALL ALONG, we wanted a white kitchen - I wanted marble counters, white subway backsplash, white painted cabs and my hardwood floors....

The whole project has been a lesson in compromise. For many reasons, we didn't stretch the budget (2 kids in college, didn't want to over remodel for the neighborhood, etc....). We decided against the custom cabs (we do regret this decision, because the cabinetmaker we would've used really seemed fabulous), we decided against the white inset painted cabs (upcharge for inset, upcharge for white painted)

And so here we are w/ a medium cherry kitchen, moderately priced GE appliances and still I'm loving it.

Our electrician really knows his stuff. Wow. What a difference a competent contractor can make. He did a great job w/ the pot lights, the undercab lights...just warmed up the room (OK, any lights would warm up the room, as we had none for weeks)....

So, we went w/ white counters (as I mentioned before zodiaq quartz)....

Do I commit to a darker backsplash (looks GREAT w/ our paint, cabs, picks up the flecks in the quartz, etc.) which seems almost blue/gray-ish? OR do I go w/ the other one (more neutral - white)?

Any thoughts?
Suzanne

LOL cabs came in my kitchen, range delivered (from france...it was a big deal to us) then cabs were returned cuz they were crap...so for several months after that all we had in the kitchen was that range and two saw horses...and I was still excited every time I came in and saw that range LOL :)

Lovely kitchen so far!!!

Yes, I understand. Your kitchen is beautiful. The only thing in my new kitchen is windows and I love standing and looking at them. :)

prill, check out Bridgeville Appliances on eBay. Im talking to him about a Cafe Dual-Fuel for $2200. which is not bad, since the lowest price next to that I could find is at Best Buy for $2600. He has a regular website too. He's based in PA and does a flat rate shipping fee depending on what part of the country you are in. Im also getting the Cafe MW and a Profile DW from him. He has gotten excellent reviews from others and I did cross check his phone number. The only other thing i would suggest doing is checking the Better Business Bureau on him.....havent done that yet. Ill let you know how my transaction goes....

Suzanne, where did you get your pendants? I love them!
