DARENKA, The antique buffet/hutch is gorgeous. Not exactly what i've 'got in my head', but gorgeous never the less. The second one isn't so bad either~not vintage, but nice lines and a good size~glass doors are definitely part of my vision. I already have an antique(100 yr. old)6' French buffet that I use in the foyer. I would probably use this piece for pots/pans, etc. It has a cabinet on each end, and four drawers in the center. It could also be use to house a drop-in range. Now i'm thinking about the sink/dishwasher/ovens, and how they would be housed. Of course i'll need cabinetry, so i'm thinking 2 identical armoires would work. I've only been in my new house 1 year, and wish I would have thought ahead. If the market increases enough, maybe i'll get the kitchen I *really* want.....and another new house. At least I can dream. LOL ;o)

catkin: Wow! I can't believe it, but I DO know the answer to your question about the paneled wall! They actually used both: they used 1/2" high grade on the wall with the towel rack, that extends from the shower. It has the applied mouldings. They had to use the 1/4" behind the toilet. If they had used the thicker, I believe they said that it would make the toilet sit too far away from the wall, and the drain/bolts wouldn't match up, if that makes sense (I am probably saying it wrong...I understand it, but I hope you can figure out what I'm talking about). I don't know what "luan" is. The 1/4" was thin enough to not compromise the position of the toilet. We kept it simpler behind the toilet, with just a top moulding, since the area is so tight there.

I wish I had a loveseat in MY craft room, I could use it as a fainting couch when I'm overcome with bits of thread and complicated instructions on a project! And I love the bold colors of it, even though I lean more towards blue based purples. Boy, this is hard. Personally, I think the 2 colors of purple don't work that well together. For me, it would be bothersome, but I like things to be pretty matchy-matchy. The only way I see it working is if you find some fabric that has your 2 colors in it and use it for pillows, drapes, etc. Or paint the room a more neutral color, even an aqua blue would work, in my mind. Maybe if you had a color wheel in front of you, you could pick some complimentary colors more easily. Even a sage green would be lovely. All that said- it's your room! Your dream sewing room and it should be what you want and you shouldn't have to settle for anything less. Why don't you paint it what you want and sew yourself some simple off-white canvas slipcovers for the cushions and use lengths of it to cover the back and sides, the finished cushions will make it look very classy! Then it is neutral and you can dress it up and down.

They are in FL; I know them, I'm sure they do as good a job as anyone could, but acrylic is acrylic. ETA I looked into their sinks very thoroughly for a friend who wanted a 20s sink for a 20s cottage. Options are very limited now, and I expect you are also likely to have trouble with the cast iron from Signature, so unless you get really lucky with a vintage one, it's a case of pick your poison, I guess.
