Kitchen Is Ordered!

So, I ordered the kitchen cabinetry today! Very exciting. We decided to go with Kitchenkraft for a few different reasons

  • They had a contemporary door style and colour we fell in love with 3 years ago.
  • They are solid wood design, both the doors and drawers.
  • They offer anti-slam sliders
  • Our local Home Hardware is a supplier/installer and our kitchen designer Shelly, was very patient, courteous and friendly!
The bonus was they had a 10% off sale if ordered by Aug 7....today.

Door/Drawer Style: Newhaven
Wood: Maple
Colour: Espresso (quite dark)

Unfortunately because the kitchen is small, I couldn't get as many pots/pans drawers as I would have liked, but there is a spice pullout to the left of the stove and we were able to go with 36" uppers because we have ceiling height and a "super susan" is making full use of the corner cabinet also, the plan is to incorporate a decent sized chef's cart with storage.

As for the counter surface, we have chosen a quartz product by Silestone, the exact colour is still up in the air (3 contenders), but it doesn't need to be ordered until the cabinets are installed.

Top 3 Colour Choices:

1. Bamboo
2. Ivory Coast
3. Crema Urban

As of this moment, Bamboo is the choice.

The kitchen sink and faucets are yet to be chosen, but we definitely have designs in mind. Tomorrow we are off to choose our fridge, dishwasher, microwave/range hood, washer, dryer and maybe even the TV....... this will definitely be a week of spending.
