Details:
Dimensions: 8ft 10in (stove run) by 13ft 8in (sink/fridge run, including fridge). Ceilings are 9ft. Island is 33in x 60in.

• Cabinets: Crown Point (uppers, island, oven cab, pantry only), inset Newport door with the arts and crafts rail at the bottom. Ordered my new cabs primed and had them painted on-site only because I was concerned about matching the new cabs with the old base ones.
• Countertops:
  - Perimeter: Uba Tuba, honed
  - Island: Butcherblock
• Backsplash--4'' V-groove beadboard
• Ovens: Monogram
• Hood: custom copper from a local sheet metal shop; innards are Modernaire
• Cabinet Hardware: Restoration Hardware and Van Dyke's
• Paint:
  - Cabinet paint: BM White Dove
  - Wall paint: BM Philadelphia Cream
  - Ceiling paint: BM Harbor Fog
• Windows: Andersen with custom diamonds (whole opening is 61'' long by 53'' high. Each window is 27'' wide)
• Banquette: Ballard's, Waverly fabric from Joann's
• Pot Rack: Williams-Sonoma
• Crown molding: local lumberyard (not CP)
  

What we did:

• enlarged window
• demo'ed wall which we knew had brick behind it--we were just trying to gain width (we got about 5'') but I also love the look!
• replaced uppers and oven cab and island (Notice the upper cabs are inset but the lowers are frameless. I was very worried about the uppers being inset and the bottoms being full overlay...but it bothers me not at all.)
• reused island to become new peninsula (we cut down the existing top)and converted the cabinets in it to drawers
• honed the granite and removed the 4'' backsplash (it couldn't be honed in place anyway)
• kept the old appliances, except for ovens and hood
• painted everything white
