I even looked in my Ikea catalog (yes, I'm a fan and have one on hand) and couldn't find it. Have you searched Ikea's online catalog? If they don't sell it in Toronto you may need to select another location. Ray: I don’t remember the name. I even looked in my Ikea catalog (yes, I’m a fan and have one on hand) and couldn’t find it.

Can you please tell me the name of your handles? They look like they are from Ikea. I used these handles on my wardrobe and have since wanted to buy more, but they no longer carry them in Toronto. If you could provide me with the name I would greatly appreciate it as it would help me find them on the web. Many Thanks! Ray Great Kitchen!

I had 25 people at my house yesterday for a cookout. All the food was spread out on the counter. 3 people ate in the kitchen and two at the counter. Everyone else was at the table and the living room (all of it is one open space). Very comfortable with no crowding. Thanks for the compliment. I had 25 people at my house yesterday for a cookout.

Very elegant design and of course it can accommodate up to 6 person working in the kitchen without getting each others way... Space is really important... I really adore your artistic design :) Your Kitchen is Fabulous!

Upgrading a kitchen will cost some serious bucks. Sometimes just the simplest things make a huge difference. Like a real nice faucet, or just replacing cab hardware. Those long handles from IKEA cost about $3 each. Big bang for your buck. IKEA sells several melamine counters (like the ones under my granite with the stainless edge) pretty cheap, and they recently added a faux granite line. Just changing out dated lighting can make a big difference too. BTW, next time we're in Houston I'll swing by, but you'll have to cook - lol. K – thanks a lot!

One of my best friends has that same refrigerator and just adores it, too. If only we had room in our kitchen, I'd have that fridge in a heartbeat. I would never dog you on the choice of finishes for the kitchen. Aside from looking clean and professional, stainless steel can always be traded out in the future if -- for some reason -- it goes the way of avocado and harvest gold appliances. The granite and wood, however, are timeless. You've done an AMAZING job here. Now how about coming over to my place and sprucing our kitchen up a bit? ;) No questions, just general awe and insane amounts of jealousy. :)

It is so much easier to access what you put in it. I haven't seen any home builders doing this yet. My kids and my wife are short (okay, I just got in trouble for saying that, my wife is 5'-3", therefore, my kids are short), so it is convenient to have all the dishes and cups down low, thus allowing me to delegate another chore (emptying dishwasher) to the kids.
