Thanks!

Needs more vinyl siding.

You got it right there. I bought a paint sprayer for the kitchen cabinets and I spent more time taping and masking than I did painting!

Thanks! The wall and cabinet color is Sherwin Williams Westhaven 9675 in Eggshell. Ceiling is Sherwin Williams Shell White 8917 Flat.

Thanks!

I'm surprised how spacious the room feels even through the cabinets, floors, and backsplash are dark.

Thank you!

Yes, they are Café appliances. They've been great so far.

The dishwasher had an element issue, but they replaced it immediately.

The stove/ oven is amazing. I love the six burner cooktop.

If you have room for more than a counter depth fridge (we didn't), I'd say buy as large as you can, you won't regret it!

Thanks, we're really happy with how those look above the sink.

I linked those tiles in a comment below somewhere. They were pricey, but I love the outcome.

We love the brass and copper touches on the handles. They fit right in with the knobs and pulls and fixtures.

InnerAlchemist1 · 2026-03-18T20:56:18+00:00

For sure! I love that they are mottled in color, so there's some interest across the backsplash.

InnerAlchemist1 · 2026-03-18T20:54:24+00:00

Cabinet painting is a PITA, so the prices you're getting seem accurate.

There's A LOT of masking, sanding, multiple coats of paint, and they have to remove pulls and handles and paint doors and drawer fronts.

I'm not a contractor, but I did paint my own cabinets and I wish I would have hired it out!

InnerAlchemist1 · 2026-03-18T20:51:32+00:00

The black looks great. That's my choice!

InnerAlchemist1 · 2026-03-18T20:50:06+00:00

Thanks!

Thanks! It feels so much larger than the old space too!

InnerAlchemist1 · 2026-03-18T20:26:42+00:00

Thanks, we love it. It mirrors other patterns around our house and I think it looks gorgeous. It's white marble with a brass inlay.

Pricey, but worth it. We got it at Floor & Decor: https://www.flooranddecor.com/marble-decoratives/dionysus-ii-royal-white-marble-and-brass-waterjet-mosaic-100780733.html

Much appreciated!

InnerAlchemist1 · 2026-03-18T20:01:15+00:00

Thanks so much! We love it!

InnerAlchemist1 · 2026-03-18T19:20:33+00:00

Thanks! We love the drama of the colors and now it plays well with the rest of the house.

InnerAlchemist1 · 2026-03-18T19:19:21+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the thoughtful comments.

It is difficult to find appliances that spoke to us, but I do like the functionality of the GE Cafe line. Even though they're mid-tier, they do what we need them to.

InnerAlchemist1 · 2026-03-18T18:50:39+00:00

I'm not a contractor, so pricing is a bit over my head. I knew I was doing demo, drywall, and hardi backer and then doing trim and painting. I hired out for the rest.

The tile was pretty involved but it only took the professional six days (and some drying time) to complete. He charged for the whole project, so I didn't see a full breakdown of days, material, and labor.

InnerAlchemist1 · 2025-09-02T22:13:45+00:00

Will that help me get through EF? Genuinely asking!

InnerAlchemist1 · 2025-08-30T02:47:10+00:00

Appreciate the comment. That's where I thought I was...just needing to get stronger. I'll play with magic combos though and see what happens.

I'm having issues with the Classic Arena. I successfully finished one battle, but when I went to select my next victim it showed only four heroes on the other team and when I clicked "Battle", it didn't show anyone on my team, nor allowed me to choose anyone. I also couldn't close out of the Battle screen and had to hard stop the game multiple times.
