@ Turbo_Elba- we replaced the white stove because the broiler was broke. New stove has working broiler- almost a year without a broiler sucks

@ Ms. Vickie- you are 100 percent correct. A larger sink was not possible. Plus with the placement of the dishwasher a larger sink base cabinet was not possible

oh and the stainless steel backsplash had to stay because the builder ran it 2 foot up under that top cabinets and 2 foot under the lower cabinets

My wife and i are the owners of this place. Maybe i should of given Kristen a little more detail about what was replaced and why.

We did everything (counter tops, hardware, appliances, sink, and faucet) for right around 4 grand, which i think is a budget friendly renovation. Everything was either on sale at cost because of a connection through a friend.

The stove was donated even without a working broiler and so was the fridge. The old cabinet doors where mdf covered with laminate that were pealing, stained, melting from the previous owner.

The new cabinet doors are solid maple covered with a vernier and painted white for the top. The bottom is stained a ebony allowing you to see the wood grain in the bottom cabinets which matches the darker part of our floors.

the ikea hardware is small stainless steel pulls at the bottom of each door.

you can maybe see some better pictures at my flickr site.

FLOR. Even though it has been said already, the tiles are easy to wash, look great, and if you ever want the rug bigger just add a couple of tiles.

Pi has it right.
The name was never about price. It was having the ability to not have to go through multiple manufacturers. The one stop design shop.
