Kitchen Pictures

[ForeverAutumn]

We're finally done. Well, not completely, we still have to buy furniture, paint and decorate. But the actual kitchen installation is done.

Let's begin with a reminder of what we started with...

[ForeverAutumn]

Taken from the same spot earlier tonight.

[ForeverAutumn]

This glass cabinet actually hides a big floor to ceiling pillar. The cabinet comes out about 16 inches from the wall, but the shelves are only about 6 inches deep because of the pillar hidden behind. This is the feature that sold us on our designer.

[ForeverAutumn]

Why can't I just post photos without text?

And finally...

[JohnMichael]

Very, very nice you should be proud. My people would approve.

[Worf101]

Schweet.... but meus onus biggus slobbus, and all that white, whew, it'd be a mess in no time. I'm glad it's finished though. Thought I was gonna have to come up and lay the muscle to a couple of contractors fer ya.

Jeeeeezz ma'am what a difference! With your old kitchen it would've been so easy to clear all that stuff out and put a pool table in place. I like the brushed nickel(?) appliances, and I like that you have an honest-to-gosh breakfast bar there. And oh that dark hardwood floor. :yesnod: But I can't tell if that's the Cuisinart coffee maker like the one I have.

I hope though that this doesn't mean you'll be spending more time in the kitchen, thus eating more and thus losing that sweet girlish figure of yours... :ihih:

The coffee maker is indeed the Cuisinart Grind and Brew. Good eye.

And, actually, having the kitchen finished means that I can cook proper meals again and regain my sweet girlish figure. Not having a kitchen since June meant a lot of dining out and fast food. It's had a toll on us both, weight and health wise. Now it's time to cut the fat and sodium and get back to good health.

Oh, and there's a perfect spot in the basement for a pool table. We just have to knock out a wall. But the basement reno is still several years off. Maybe just an air hockey table in the meantime. :)

And Worf...now you offer???? Thanks man. There's lots more renos to get done. We have a five year plan to transform the house (our last five year plan took 12 years :(). So I might still call you into duty at some point.

[kexodusc]

Wow, FA...that's quite the transformation. Don't worry about the white. We renovated the kitchen in the last house to white cabinets too - they clean pretty well and don't get nearly as dirty as many think. Of course, we don't have kids....

Glad it's all worked out for you in the end. You'll enjoy it that much more.

[Feanor]

And finally...

Looking great, FA. I'd better not show this to my wife: she'd definitely be envious.

I remember talking about it in your previous thread about the upcoming remodeling.

Psst... GM... she needs a wall knocked out for the pool table. :ihih:

[Rich-n-Texas]

Yeah Bill, if she sees it she'll want the same, and then you'll NEVER be able to bring your A/V equipment into the 21st century will you? :nonod:

[Feanor]

Yeah Bill, if she sees it she'll want the same, and then you'll NEVER be able to bring your A/V equipment into the 21st century will you? :nonod:

You got that right, Rich :ihih:

[Rich-n-Texas]

I won't tell her. I'd say my silence HAS to be worth at least a six-pack of Sleeman's, don't you agree? :ihih:

Psst... Cartman, are you paying attention here?

[Feanor]

I won't tell her. I'd say my silence HAS to be worth at least a six-pack of Sleeman's, don't you agree? :ihih:

Psst... Cartman, are you paying attention here?

I've already offered to send you Honey Brown samples assuming FedEx or USPS will accept liquids. Not sure about a sixpack though ;).

[bobsticks]

Great stuff, Autumn. What a huge difference...brighter, efficient...Looks like it was worth the effort. Nice work.

[JSE]

I won't tell her. I'd say my silence HAS to be worth at least a six-pack of Sleeman's, don't you agree? :ihih:

Psst... Cartman, are you paying attention here?

I already have my Canadian Secret Operatives looking into covert contact the "wife of Feanor" with yellow envelope in hand containing screen prints of FA's kitchen and a message of "Will this work?, Love Feanor" Of course, this covert contact can always halted if and agreement on the Sleeman can be reached. They have orders to contact me once they have located Ms. Feanor so I can give them the goahead on delivering the package.


BTW...........FA, that is one nice kitchen. Looks like they did a outstanding job. Congrats!

[Rich-n-Texas]

Excellent Inspector JSE! :thumbsup:

[GMichael]

FA, Great job. I don't normally like white, but it looks good the way you have it. And you know I luv the satin finishes. Nice!

JM, My people?

Tex, good eye indeed.

FA, The Cuisinart Grind and Brew is the way to go. We've got the 900 model and luv it.

Worf, You can help with the pool table maybe?

[ForeverAutumn]

FA, Great job. I don't normally like white, but it looks good the way you have it. And you know I luv the satin finishes. Nice!

Thanks GM.

I don't like white either. I find it very bright and harsh on the eyes. But this isn't actually white. It's more of an almond colour. It gives it that nice bright clean look but is much softer on the eyes.

I originally wanted wood cabinets, hubby wanted white. The almond turned out to be a nice compromise. :)

[bobsticks]

The stainless has a nice look of course. Very clean and modern. I would think the only takeaway would be the distance of the 'fridge from the prep area...small quibble, and if small quibbles are all that's left it means the project was a success.

Clearly though the next item on the agenda should be a rawkin' kitchen system.

I agree with you about the fridge location. We actually discussed that during the design process, but there really wasn't anywhere else to put it. The problem with fridges is that they require a certain amount of space to open the door.

We're working on the kitchen sound system. I'll likely go with quality over quantity, since the kitchen is in close proximity to the TV and the main rig. A small system that I can plug my iPod into and pump some tunes while I cook is all that I really need. In addition to that, we'll probably, eventually wire some kitchen speakers to the main system so that we can pump the tunes through the whole main floor. :2:

[Wits]

A very nice improvement indeed, FA!!

I :sad: (weep) for a kitchen as nice as yours has become! :biggrin5:

[Rich-n-Texas]

How many bottles of beer will the spare refrig hold FA? :evil plan: :ihih:

[ForeverAutumn]

Lots! And it'll all be Sleeman's and Rickards. :)

[Rich-n-Texas]

[Auricauricle]

Congratulations, FA. I am convinced that one of the best ways to encourage folks to stay home is to make their kitchens more appealing....This looks very professional and will, no doubt, be a nice thing for you and yours to enjoy for a while. Again, kudos.

BTW: Yer Cuisinart don't stack agin mah Bodum!

Thanks Aa. We're very excited about the kitchen. It will definately be the hub of our home once it's totally finished. Hubby and I both enjoy cooking but we've always had very tiny kitchens that we couldn't both work in at the same time without getting in each other's way. Last night we made dinner together and my husband commented on how much he loves finally having a big kitchen. :)

As for the Cuisinart...I spent a pretty nice chunk of change on it. Yet, every single Saturday and Sunday morning, Hubby still insists on getting dressed and driving to the Tim Horton's to buy us our morning coffee. :out:

[ForeverAutumn]

:incazzato: :mad2: :crazy: :cryin:

We have a fridge in the basement too!!! :biggrin5:

[Rich-n-Texas]

Knock it off!!! My head hurts enough already!

[JSE]

We have a fridge in the basement too!!! :biggrin5:

That was just loooooow! :frown2:

[3-LockBox]

Holy crap, what did the former owners do without all that cupboard space?

Great job! I'd love a white or even almond kitchen. We have natural wood, but I'd paint over it in a minute.

[JSE]

In my best Cartman voice........................ Yeah, well screw you FA, I found Rich and I a supplier! Hah!.............................:p :3:

The previous owners were weird, tree-hugging, hippies. I have no idea what they did. :frown2:

[AncientWalkman]

I don't see a difference... lol j/k that looks amazing, very fantastic sense of decorating and organizing, i love it

[ForeverAutumn]

At Sugar Beats' request, here are a couple more pictures now that we've painted and put in the table. This is the breakfast bar with stools and my favourite piece of art in place.

[ForeverAutumn]

Here's the dining area. Those china cabinets in the background will eventually be replaced with something wood. We just have to find/agree on the replacement piece. And we need to add curtains.

[BillShiphr]

Oh, it looks pretty good and modern. Is it comfortable?

[GooseWashington]

With the new renovation, you will be able to fit a large amount of beer and other food in your refrigerator, but if everything remains like this, then you will have to go to the store every time you finish the beer in order to get a new one. I am sure that at such moments you still want to relax and at the same time have a remodeling of your kitchen.
