apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Love the fridge what model is it?

I love the "keep calm and carry on" sign. I need one...

This is beyond cool. I have the same sign in my kitchen and people go nuts over it (thanks for tip AT).

Jany, where did you source the cabinets?

Well, I would say that this kitchen was designed for function. I love the notch between the cooktop and sink. Highly functional, thinking out of the box. It's smart.

Your new kitchen looks absolutely fantastic! Congrats!

Thanks so much for your comments!
Samanthalous:
the fridge-freezer is a Bosch KGP39390 Antibacteria.
Chris-Annapolis:
the cabinets are from IKEA, they are called SORBO.
And thanks to len, susan and k8luvsmicrobes for your feed-back.
I'm so happy with the outcome, and happy to be able to sleep again correctly at night, without worrying if everything will go fine. I was lucky to have found very good and reliable contractors, so the whole remodel went smooth and without mayor and unforseen problems.

Great kitchen! The only drawback is the small, single basin sink.

Gorgeous -- love the red tile!

Am I imagining it, or are cookbooks in that shelved nook in the corner below the counter?

wende, no. For the moment i'm storing washing powder there, and two metal boxes with light bulbs and candles. I'll put a small rack for wine bottles and some cook books there in the near future. Now, all my cook books are on a shelve above the kitchen door ( seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/18145526@N00/417689618/in/set-72157594580555528/ ).

michael d bailey,
for my single household this sink is doing it's job. Thanks for your comment !

Go Jany! It came out swell. The grey cabinets really make the red tile pop.

Thank you Lady J!

Jany,

Your kitchen is very nice!!! Congrats!

I know there are a lot of IKEA haters on this board, but IKEA kitchens rock! I'm in the process of installing one myself. I've go the uppers installed; next are the base cabs. Installation is very DIY friendly.

BTW: Where did u get that large trivit next to the stove? I'm looking for something similar, but I didn't see anything like it at IKEA.

That trivit is from IKEA... I have the same one.

len, do you want mine? I'm sick of seeing it everywhere now.

Love the red tiles & that dish drain! I've never seen a dish drain like that.

Woo hoo, Jany! It looks good enough to win Small Cool Kitchens 2008.

Jany -- congrats on the new kitchen! (me too, I need the sign!). Odds are, we have been walking past one another in the Aubone IKEA for the past few months!

Oops, I forgot to post this earlier. I ordered the keep calm and carry on poster from Barter Books in the UK

So did I Chris and I am serious if anyone wants my poster (framed but not matted) let me know!

Hey Monika,
tell me when you the next time, we could take a cup of coffee together !

What I love is the door in front of your front-loading washer. Only question I have is how hard will it be to repair the washer or change out the hoses?

yay jany! it looks so fabulous!

Charlotte,
i don't think that will be a problem. When the cabinets have been installed, wholes have been cut out between them ( the washing machine cabinet and the one under the sink) to pass the hoses. Also, the machine is not fixed on the socle and can be taken out out of the cabinet. It's the smallest machine available ( in Switzerland ) , from Kenwood and only measuring 68 cm in height, and each 47 cm in depth and width.

Anne, I would love to give your poster a good home.

DKinNY, my email is ajftuba@gmail.com, drop me a line.

Jany, I absolutely love your kitchen! Excellent job! I know you're going to really enjoy using it. I wish you all the best!
