corner drawers

Wow it's GORGEOUS!! I love the gray island, can't wait to see more!

Wow, what a difference having high ceilings makes. Sadly I only have 8ft. Your kitchen is beautiful, can't wait to see the finished product!

Your kitchen will be perfect! Love the color scheme.

heidia: Oooo, I'm right behind you in the process so I'm excited to see your kitchen! Your layout is eerily similar to mine, cabs yet to be built..

May I ask several questions?

What are your plans for the openings at the top of your wall cabs? Display or storage?
How high is your ceiling?
What size are the cabs flanking your stove?
Would you please take a closeup pic of your range hood framing before the doors go on? I want something very similar and would love to see how yours is constructed. I need to submit final, final specs to our cab guy in one month.

Lastly, it's all looking great and the blue/grey island looks beautiful! Thanks.

Thank you all!!!

Deedles-I can't wait to see yours as well!
Except for the open area above the fridge, all the upper openings will be covered by doors, no glass, no display. I debated that, but decided to keep things behind doors. :) They should be on soon! :)

The cabs will go all the way to ceiling-the space above them is about 4 inches, and it will be just a plan straight board covering that area.

Ceiling is 10 ft. Uppers are 36 and uppermost are 24, with the 4ish space above. I chose to have 19 inch counter to fit my big kitchenaid. :) So they are tall! And I will need a ladder for those uppers! :)

Cabs flanking stove-lowers are both 36 inch drawer bases, uppers are both 36 as well. Range will be 36 inches(wolf gas). ETA-Hood is 42 inches tall and 45 inches wide.

I will take a close up pic of the range hood detail when I go to the house tomorrow. :) There will be matching doors over the open spaces. It is actually a hood by HAAS, but with the matching doors and none of the extraneous trim and molding they have in their pics...you can see them at the bottom of the screen here:

Hope that helps! :)

heidia, I am looking forward to seeing the finished kitchen, it looks gorgeous so far. Love the colour of the island and the walls, they could fit right in to my kitchen in progress!!

Very interested in your post! We are having Haas cabinets (Whipped Cream color on perimeter, Java on island) installed Dec. 6th. What color did you choose for perimeter, and what door style? What do you think about the quality so far? We are going with the Homestead line. Can't wait to see your end result!

Karlsmom- we chose linen and industrial gray. Door style is shakertown. :) Capital series. I really love the colors. I really like the painted finishes. :) The quality-so far, looks great. I do not love the melamime though-they are all ply, and I would have preferred just wood showing on bottoms of drawers instead of a thin piece of melamine over the ply...I guess it will protect them, but it is not as pretty as the wood. Otherwise, the drawers open and close beautifully, everything feels so solid. :)

Deedles-I have some hood pics for you, will upload later. :)

I like progress pics too! It makes me live vicariously while I am still in the framing stage for my kitchen....gives me hope and inspiration. Thanks for sharing your pretty kitchen. I love it already....post your counter slab pics too!

Okay Deedles, showed up too late-doors are on, but here are some hood detail pics I could get. :)

more hardware
Aubrey pulls in assorted sizes(3 3/4 uppermost, 4 inch uppers), 6 inch on slab drawers and 8 inch on deep drawers)-I got this idea from Breezy on this site by the way. ;) In polished nickel

Firsthouse_mp here is my slab. :)

more of the slabs

upper cab hardware...

Heidia - wow - it is coming together. Love your color choices and can't wait to see your counter attached. Exciting!!!

Do you know what weight your drawer glides are rated for? It looks like attachment points just at the front and back. You might want to check load limits on those big drawers before you load them up with pots and pans.

Thanks for info annkh-they told me 75 lb. does that sound right?

Hey, thank you for the hood pics. I wonder why they have hinges under there? Or no, those must be some kind of fastener? Huh, well thanks for posting, I'll show this to my cab guy, he's never done a range hood and between your images and some from DIYguy we should be able to work it out.

Your slab is gorgeous. The two granites that I've fallen in love with on here are that Luna that you've chosen and Ohno's rainforest green.

Thanks again!

Oh, my! This is looking really, really good, Heidia. I've always like gray, but if I were remodeling now what I'd like best about all the grays on the market now would be the opportunity to combine them with cream. Lovely, and classic without seeing it everywhere.

We were going to put Rainforest Green in our bath, Deedles. It would have been gorgeous, but there wasn't clearance for the faucet, a beam was in the way, I should have gotten a lower, standard-depth tub, whatever. Sigh. (We had to do ceramic instead.)

Counters getting installed today. :) When I take better pics for the final reveal, I cannot wait to show you some of the gold veining by the sink and the big sink cut out behind it that was not up when I was there...anyhow, here is your daily stone porn, lol-quartzite-details: 6 inch b/s, pencil edge, 1 inch eased corners, 2 seams(one in sink and one by corner), and I had to really look to find them, so I am happy. :)

and more

And why not just one more-wow the gray is more gray in the house than the yard, and it makes the cream cabs look more cream-okay with both of these things. ;)

~That marble is gorgeous!. ~Everything is coming together so well and I'm looking forward to the final reveal.

Wow! Beautiful!

Just beautiful! How about a pic of your cabs/countertops that includes the gray island? I bet they look great together.

Sigh... that counter is really lovely.

Romy718 just for you. :) Sorry the whi bal is so bad ya'll! :)

other island pic

Sink cut out...debating making the window trim more narrow now but not sure...

I like how the lines of the Maccubus go vertical. The seam in the corner of the L just flows. Having the island in gray just pulls it all together.

Have you chosen a BS yet?

Thank you bookworm4321. :) The stone b/s is 6 inches high, so I am going sans backsplash above that. I think it will be enough, especially since the back of the sink is higher, and I will have a full stainless behind range. :) And I am def making that window trim more narrow-going from 4 inch to 3...
