so many decisions

This is our final design of the kitchen. Click on the photo to see it larger. We didn't realize that there are so many decisions to make in remodeling a kitchen. These are just a few of our choices so far. Our new appliances will be 2 Viking wine coolers and a Viking dishwasher. Next weekend we will be getting our sample cabinet doors to approve for color and design.

A few weeks ago we made our first big purchase for the kitchen. A Shaw fireclay farm sink. It weighs about 135 pounds. We had to clean the garage to make some room to store it.

This is our sink in the kitchen show room where we purchased it.


The sink inside the box.

Leg choice for end of peninsula. We didn't like any of these choices so we got rid of them from the design. We later found a leg we like on the web site and put the legs back in.

This was the corbel (it will support the granite over hang on the peninsula)we first picked but again, for now we picked a different one that has a little more detail on the side. It sort of matches the leg.

For the last couple of weeks we have been buying and returning knobs and pulls from Restoration Hardware. We have narrowed it down and will make a decision after we receive our sample doors next week. For now our favorite is the Maddox knob and the Lugarno pull. (click on the words to see them).

Base board samples. So far we like the middle one the best. Still waiting for 4 more samples.
