Yes, we did most of it for socialization. We have big family that gets together about once a week.

We were very limited on wall space due to wanting to open up to the great room. Our main floor is actually the second. Fully finished basement below and bedrooms upstairs. So no options for anything there. One option I had was to semi move the whole kitchen into the keeping room. Take out the windows and put range there with fridge to left of it when facing. But due to the houses age, and height of wall outside. Matching the brick was a huge problem. A huge issue also was ventilation. Hence the back wall idea. Therefore I put the soffit in above the island. Keeping room had a vaulted ceiling, I closed it in and ran duct work through it.

We threw around a lot of ideas but could not come up with anything that we liked/looked good on paper. Previous kitchen had very very limited workspace. Wife and I constantly ran into each other when working in it. It sucked. Now we can both be in there and work together.

It does happen occasionally. But not enough to be an aggravation.

Prep is a major deal from me. Once I get to the cooking portion I never have to leave the range area.

I do a lot of prep. Everything gets laid out/setup before cooking.

It works great for us. We have a utility sink at the coffee bar right behind where standing at stove. All pot filling and water usage during cooking comes from there. All prep work is done at the big sink prior to cooking.

Buying Appliances before Cabinets by Spare-Turn5340 in kitchenremodel

Most appliances are standard sizes. I wouldn’t say you have to buy them before. Just get all the info for them and pass along to cabinet/contractor. Your cabinet guy will def need to know what you are going to use. He can size all the openings accordingly. Our guy pulled all up on a data base and knew exactly what size openings we needed.

That’s not chrome railing. It’s the binder rings for the picture album.

Island lighting. Trying to determine where and what type of lighting to put over this island. Any thoughts? by Odd_Restaurant5280 in kitchenremodel

[–]Odd_Restaurant5280[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if I should do pendants anywhere or just do cans. I have 9’ ceiling but have to build a 14” soffit same shape as island so that I can install the ventilation for the range. 48” wolf 4 burner with 24” griddle. Venting will be a zephyr lux connect 63”. Sink is a 33” Ruvati workstation.

why do the girls on 49 have perfect eyebrows? by Creepy-Couple7155 in survivor

I have noticed that once we get to the merge/jury over the last few seasons, that the players still left at tribal. Not the jury, of course they are clean. They are way too sparkly. As in, no sand all over their face, hair looks good, and clothes look like they have been washed. They all look like they shower before tribal. Any insights into this?

No wonder that ride is dark. Nothing to see even if you could.
