I think I've found pretty much everything.
Here's a very rough mock-up of what the long wall of the kitchen might look like with cabinet doors. I've switched from the farmhouse sink to a conventional sink because it looks like there's not enough clearance under the farmhouse sink to fit the one-drawer F&P dishwasher (alas). Click on the picture to make it bigger.
Here are my proposed cabinet pulls, for doors and drawers (from James Phillips Decor on eBay):
Still need to find a suitable fridge pull.
The sink will be white porcelain, because I dislike stainless steel.
[I thought I wanted a touch-anywhere-and-it-goes-on faucet, but I've changed my mind - stay tuned.]
The counters will either be serpentine marble (unlike other marbles, it's impervious to acid) or a nice quiet Caesarstone (like Misty Carrera or Pebble).
And I've written to L'Esperance about the tile (see previous post). The tile colors kind of depend on the countertop, but I'm thinking some combination of blue, goldenrod, and/or claret. Subway field tiles in a herringbone pattern, with dogwoods and daylilies as accent tiles; maybe a diamond of four dogwoods over the stove.
Oh, and I picked appliances. I'm ignoring the marketing rule that you should go all with one brand - I went for features, reviews, and price on each separate piece. So the slide in gas range is an Electrolux, the fridge is Frigidaire, the microwave is GE Profile, and the dishwasher drawer is Fisher & Paykel. Fridge and dishwasher are trim-panel, stove and micro are white (did I mention already that I dislike stainless steel?).
What else do I need, other than an architect and contractor?

About Me
- Suzanne
- I just bought my first home - an estate-sale 1BR prewar co-op on the UWS in Manhattan. It needs a new kitchen, a new bathroom, new windows, and the parquet floors restored. (Other than that, it's perfect!) This blog is for sharing my renovation ideas and adventures with friends, family, and fellow renovators.
