Final product: full gut kitchen remodel

7 years ago

I originally requested input on my plans at https://www.houzz.com/discussions/looking-for-feedback-on-my-kitchen-remodel-plans-dsvw-vd~3874320

Here was the before:

Floor plan

Main kitchen area

Breakfast nook and dining through door

Entry floor and walls

Here is the after:

Floor plan - walls knocked down between dining and entry.

Main view into kitchen - porcelain wood look tile done through house except bedrooms, cabinets with full-access drawers, deep apron sink, enlarged family room pass-thru bar, all new lighting, doubled the number of electrical outlets, all new appliances, furr-downs removed (yellow color above cabinets is a photo artifact) and quartz countertops.

My favorite - the range with a custom stainless steel backsplash.

Viewing the other direction with the opened dining room and the new serving bar (under counter lighting for the entire kitchen operated by one switch). That is a custom frosted glass door into the newly lit pantry.

The opened up dining room and entry with a new entry door.

The dining room again.

Thank you to everyone for their previous comments.

Love it! And possibly one of the most dramatic before and afters Ive seen on here! Can you tell me what your countertops are? We just ordered similarly stained kitchen cabinets for our remodel. I hope our kitchen turns out so well.

Lovely! The colors are among my favorites. The glass door by the wonderful serving area is a nice touch. And, you got it all done in less than a year. That gets a gold star.

I'm loving your tile and how it goes so well with your cabinets. Really nice.

Could you tell me about your microwave? I want to put mine up like that, but don't want a really deep one. Of course, it must also accommodate my large (very large) coffee cup!

I can only imagine how you're enjoying your new space. So fresh and well laid out!

Great job.

CEFreeman_GW DC/MD Burbs 7b/8a - the microwave cabinet is deceptively deep. The cabinet is 12" deep, but the shelf is 18" deep. Here is a link to the microwave - http://www.abt.com/product/61205/Panasonic-1.2-Cu.-Ft.-Stainless-Steel-Countertop-Microwave-Oven-NNSD681S.html . Thank you for your comments.

Yes, that's too deep for my space, but I do like it.
I'm creating a cabinet like yours, actually 12.75" deep with a microwave shelf. I just don't want it quite that deep. I'm going to explore Panasonic, which I hadn't.

Been looking at an LG someone here has, but I don't think it'll handle my coffee cup. Priorities, you know!?

Thanks for getting back to me.

CEFreeman_GW DC/MD Burbs 7b/8a - I was originally looking for small depth microwaves. This one is only 14" deep. http://www.abt.com/product/63074/Frigidaire-Stainless-Steel-Countertop-Microwave-FFCM0934LS.html

Very nice. Who did you get to make the stainless steel back splash?

In answer to questions: Custom backsplash is from http://www.quickshipmetals.com (it is 2 pieces - the hood hides the seam). The range is Thor - http://m.homedepot.com/p/Thor-Kitchen-48-in-6-7-cu-ft-Professional-Gas-Range-in-Stainless-Steel-HRG4808U/207207523 and the hood is Zline - http://www.zlinekitchen.com/stainless-steel-kf1

tj_shopper Eng - I love the range. No problems with it at all and it is a great value. Best price is http://thorstove.com/#hrg4808u - free shipping and no tax unless you live in California.

R M -- thanks so much for answering so quickly. I was all set to go with the NXR from Costco but my builder said he could get me the Thor for $4,300. The appliance store where my builder goes said this is just like the NXR and parts are easily available if needed. I'm going to go with this one. Thanks again!
