          Location: Riding Crackhead. | rodeomom3 - 2014-03-27 10:31 AM We are building next month, we bought Thermador appliances, 48" gas range, DW, and two 24" refrigerator columns instead of refrigerator/ freezer combo. They have a package deal now where you get the DW and hood free. We are putting in a scotsman under counter ice machine and will have an upright freezer in the utility room so opted for more frig space. Here is a picture of a stained concrete counter made to look like wood. I am doing this on my island,no leafs per the husband. Costs 30-35$/sq. ft- about the same as granite. Cabinets are mesquite, and only have lower cabinets, all windows above. Found this on houzz.com- best website ever for finding ideas.
That is going to be so cool! Can't wait to see pictures when your all done. |

| Griz - 2014-03-28 7:12 AM Roadrider - I want to know more about those light fixtures by the stove - was that something you made?? I like that - and I LOVE your kitchen! Yes we made that fixture. Bought black pipe and fittings from hardware store and made the shape/size we wanted. I bought bulbs and wire from 1000bulbs.com (cheaper than a Menards or Lowes) and electrician wired it up for us. We had him put it on a dimmer switch so it can be a soft glow or full-on light. I'm really happy with how it turned out.
These pics are from 2 months ago still during construction. Wish I would have had the lights off, much easier to see in a picture.

         Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | If anybody needs practice come help me remodel my kitchen this summer!!!!! I would LOVE to put in all brand new cabinets. But this house was built in 1995 with a TON of custom made solid oak cabinets. Way to nice to throw out. And would cost about 10k to replace all of them, unless we made them ourselves. So i am tediously sanding them all down and refinishing them. Then redoing the tile floor. |

   Location: Always on call..... | roanrider - 2014-03-27 9:15 AM We just built a house. The kitchen isn't finished in the pictures but I dont' have current ones on my computer right now.
We did a wood pallet backsplash, brown concrete countertops along with a big old wash basin for our sink, rustic cabinets with a couple of cowhide inserts. I really like the SS appliance, ours are Fridigaire and have the anti-fringerprint deal. Still shows some but it's not bad. We also have stamped concrete floors that look like hardwood.
Roan Rider - I love your kitchen too! Gorgeous counter tops. I saw similar stamped concrete floors a few years ago and have wanted some ever since. 
Who built your house? It looks like Post and Beam. We are starting to plan a bit for our dream house and I have been looking into companies that build post and beam. |

Thanks Dr. J,
We converted a barn into our house so the old beams I adore were already there. We designed everything ourselves and found a builder that could think outside the box with us. It was a ton of work but we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. We moved in about a month ago, now patiently waiting for spring to arrive so we can start planning the landscaping, etc.  |
