Under Construction - Almost!

Nice Plan

I went through a kitchen remodel a few years ago - you are really going to enjoy your new space. I hated the kitchen in this house so much that I just went ahead and had it ripped down to the studs one day without even having my plan for new cabinets finalized, much less ordered. (If I remember correctly the first thing I decided on after DuPont Corian was the floor!). Talk about doing things backwards.

Anyway, a great design. Like the painted finish. A word of caution though. Check how your dishwasher vents. I have two kitchenaids in my kitchen and the steam vent is on the side of the door. This means that my drawer fronts immediately beside the dishwasher get condensate everytime I run the machines. The paint has already peeled off one of the drawers in a few small spots. Now I put a paper towel between the drawer and the dishwasher everytime I run it to deflect the steam.

Good lick with your project!

Good idea..

Thanks for the tip about the dishwasher - it's a Bosch 800 series. I'll have to double check the specs.

Went paint and tile hunting today. The tile store is overwhelming! So many beautiful options!

John..............

What are you going to do with your old appliances? There is a Habitat for Humanity Re-store in Danbury that you can donate them to. They look like they are in great condition. Where did you buy your new appliances? Appliance Sales Plus?

Old appliances.

Hey Mike -

I've looked into Habitat - there's another ReStore in Newburgh. We have a friend up in Dutchess County that works with them. I'm going to see if they would be interested.

ConEd has a recycling program for the fridge - they will pay to come get it.

Hope that they find good homes!

I remember when that style of cabinets came out - so modern. Raising the cabinet height to the ceiling will make the room feel 10 feet tall. Is the new refrigerator a counter-depth model?

They were all the rage - back in the day!

It's a standard depth fridge - but fully surrounded by cabinetry. Here's the link!

Have you chosen the faucet yet? Nothing makes a kitchen sparkle like fine "jewelry"!
