| Well we finally nailed down a layout and were able to secure the contractor - they started yesterday!
We are doing the IKEA cabinets, in the Adel Medium Brown door. I want to find something more unique than the standard IKEA door hardware though - any suggestions of sites to look at for that? Thanks!

| We are basically converting our 1978 u-shape kitchen to an L-shape with an island. Lots of input I received from you all is in our plans, including taking the wall to Dining Room down to a half-wall so that we can interact with people in the Dining Room/dine in there daily. We are going with the IKEA cabinets - Adel Medium Brown. Once the kitchen is in we are going to repair/refinish the oak floors to a lighter more natural maple-color. |

| Glad to see another in progress Ikea kitchen on GW! I Have Lidingo cabs and used knobs4less dot com. |

| Hooray! Also glad to see an Ikea kitchen in the works. Love the idea to convert that to a half wall. How wide is the doorway to kitchen? For hardware, have you looked at Restoration Hardware? Save on the cabinets and splurge on the HW! |

| Here is a post of our layout, since we are using IKEA cabinets we can still make some tweaks to this by changing insides out or even cabinet sizes and the order of things. Any suggestions? Here are some of the issues we are trying to solve now: 1. We were going to put the microwave in with the 24" wall oven but are thinking of separating them out because Other things we are considering - 3. Also we need to allow some clearance for the slide-in range. The cabinet to the left of the stove has to be changed to a door-opening cabinet to allow the water line for potfiller to run up in it. The Electrolux slide-in needs some clearance on both sides at the top of the range. Should we: 4. We could put the Bertazzoni down under counter also - should we give this layout consider that? Thanks!!!!!!! |

| The other thing we are working on now is faucets and countertops. We had granite in our last house and this kitchen before. It is fine and my DH likes it. I never seriously considered soapstone but after reading this site I am. The house is very traditional colonial. Any other ideas/suggestions? |
