I live in California and can't buy oil based paint. What is the next best alternative for painting cabinets? <br />Did you also do an oil based primer? Any help would be much appreciated!

If I had to do it over again, I would not spend the money on a Sub Zero fridge or a warming drawer -- not worth it. I would also splurge on the quietest, most configurable dishwasher I could find.

So I splurged on upgrading the cabinets to all wood (no particle board) with the silent drawer close feature. Because I decided to go without upper cabinets to make room for huge windows, I also splurged to get cabinets that worked better for our storage needs (a pull out spice cabinet, a double silverware drawer, a baking sheet cabinet and three lazy susans). I also decided traditional 'cabinets' were a waste of space and went with all drawers. So it cost a bit more, but totally made the kitchen work. Oh and let's not forget the $600 white fireclay farmers sink. That was my biggest splurge, but I LOVE it.

I would rather have a threadbare persian rug than a brand new polypropylene rug. I do not necessarily like a high end look-all polish and marble. <br /><br />I would make a smaller kitchen with quality materials rather than a large kitchen as so often shown in magazines. I only need room for one or two people to work in it.Shawnanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-45400770842883344792012-11-29T17:15:13.028-05:002012-11-29T17:15:13.028-05:00My 36" Wolf stove.

My family marvels at how organized my kitchen is each holiday dinner. My splurge was on the Luca di Luna quartzite counters. They really do make everything look richer. If I have one regret, it's my single basin sink. I agree with Holly, it's the bane of my existence. It's a modern looking, huge rectangular undermount. It looks good, but is a pain for hand washing dishes - which I do a lot since I'm single and don't generate enough dirty dishes to use my dishwasher on a regular basis. srwnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-66650025053196265552012-11-29T14:22:55.258-05:002012-11-29T14:22:55.258-05:00Love it!
