Hi Genya, Keystone is great. Prices are great to, especially consdering they are solid wood. They offer black and white paint as well. If you order them, do so without the hinge counterbores, as they may not match the ikea 32mm hole spacing. You can buy a hole-borer template at most big box hardware stores, or at Woodcraft online. That way you can position the hinges exactly to match the holes in the IKEA bases. They deliver within 4 to 6 weeks or so.

There is lots of storage below, the cabinets have huge wide and deep drawers...you are not seeing the below cabinets under the bar area. There is also a pantry off the right side of the room with floor-to-ceiling cabs. I don't care for upper cabinets in kitchens, I prefer open storage, and tall walls of tile. But that's just me :-)

Viking does carry that range, it is:

30" Open Burner Range - VGIC
Classic Series

als1, I do not have a website detailing the renovation. AT is considering running a House Tour of the house, but I have to take some more photos for them to really get a beefy story...at some point I will try and and do a website with some photos I have taken!

Hi Guys, Thanks for all your nice comments! I just read them all..

To answer a few questions:
can you tell me the paint color used?: its C2 paint, which I love, it has beautiful colors. The color is TITANIUM > 472-P > SATIN

can you show us the floor?: the floor is the original oak plank.

that's a good-looking stove. may I ask what brand it is? It is a Viking.

Was the pot rack difficult to make? It was super easy....you buy all the parts from the website I listed above, use a pipe cutter to cut the pipe down (those manual ones you buy at the hardware store for cutting copper pipe), and connect it...the connections come with set screws. Make sure you put tape around the pipe when you are cutting it to keep the pipe cutter from scratching.

Okee dokee....I will do some detail photos and post them to a website somewhere tonight...watch this post for the hyperlink

Hi JOliver, yes it is hardwired. There is a lamp cord (bought at your hardware store by the foot) that is wired to each candelbra socket (also sold at your hardware store), and then run up one of the support wires. The wires are then attached to the power feed inside the ceiling box, just like any chandelier would be, with wire nuts.

Hi Guys, this is Kevin who made the chandelier, thanks for all your kind comments...if you have any more detailed questions on how I did it, I would be happy to answer!!!!
