We made some progress these past few weeks on our kitchen decisions so I thought I would fill you in today! We still have a few undecided areas so feel free to chime in in the comments if you have thoughts or suggestions. So, let’s get to it!
The Range & Range Hood
I alluded to this in yesterday’s weekend recap, but we’re at a crossroads with our range. We met with our kitchen designer last Wednesday since we need to finalize a few things to get the ball rolling. One of those items is the discussion of appliances. We initially weren’t going to replace any of them. They’re about ten years old, but all seem to be in good working condition. I’ve always wanted an actual range and it was mentioned that if I ever plan to get one, it made no sense to have custom cabinet doors built that may be torn off if I do a range once our cooktop dies. If we did a range, that would eliminate the need for one of our double ovens, which means we could then move the microwave to that area. The microwave was still a major discussion point – pantry or pull-out drawer on the island. We’re already going to be losing a fair amount of cabinet space with the window, so losing drawers too didn’t seem to make the most sense.
Suddenly getting a range seemed like it may be a better alternative. We ran to Nebraska Furniture Mart and scoped out options. The ones we are considering are not cheap, so, we’re definitely back on the fence about it. Ultimately, that’s the route we want to go but we have to decide if we invest now or down the road (which would then also require us to pull cabinets and cut out some of the new countertops). This is a major decision we have to make in the next day or too since it does change fabrication of both the cabinets and the countertop.
The range hood that is being built is 36″ so we’d likely go with a 36″ range if we go that route. That would help break up the long row of base cabinets you see above.
Countertops
We made major progress in our countertop decisions over the past few weeks! If you recall, we were flipping back and forth on marble or quartz or granite. I was thinking I wanted marble, but Kurtis was really worried about the durability and staining/etching aspects. But I think we found a quartz that will look even more beautiful and be significantly more durable!
We narrowed it down to these three selections rather quickly: Frosty Carrina, Statuario Maximum, and Calacatta Nuvo.
It may be a bit hard to see in photos, but we loved how the Calacatta Nuvo had a bit whiter of a background with some gray and warm beiges swirled in. It was exactly what we were looking for! It also definitely helped that had a sample kitchen set up using the product, so we could see the veining in a much larger scale. How cool is this wine holder they added on this one?!
Side note: I didn’t even know Martin’s Countertops existed until our designer recommended swinging in. We’ve been to several other shops on the southern side of Omaha, but this one is up north for you locals. I love that not only do they have a nice show room with tons of samples, but they have tons of slabs you can look at out in their yard. We’re working with Tony Nogg and he is amazing. It was the first time Kurtis had met him, and as we were leaving he said “I really liked that guy!” So, just a little plug for him if you’re local. Especially since we’ve been struggling lately in so many construction/service areas to find dependable people that are timely and follow through when they say they will!
I’m most excited at Tony’s description of the beveled edge. Basically, the quart would come in the stand 3 cm thickness. But, they can fabric a 2″ lip on the perimeter, essentially making it look like the slabs are that much thicker. They showed us samples and we were blown away. Since they match the pattern up, you’d have no idea that this is part of the fabrication process, and not the actual thickness of the counters. So excited for this part!

Sink Options
I’d love feedback on this one. We know we want to go to a single-bowl sink, but we keep going back and forth on whether or not we want a farmhouse style apron-front sink or just an undermount sink that’s one large bowl. We’d likely go cast iron either way so it will look white. Thoughts on this one? Good or bad experiences with either?
Barstool Options
I’ve continue to think it over, and I’ve ultimately decided to with . I think they navy blue will add a fun pop of color to an otherwise neutral space.
Pendant Lights
This is another area where I’m completed stuck. If you recall, I originally thought of doing to match our dining room chandelier. But I’m not actually sure that’s the look I want in the kitchen (especially since I’d love a lantern in our entryway eventually). I’m just worried it may look a bit matchy-matchy. Here are a few looks I’m considering, but still don’t think I’ve found “the one”.
Backsplash Options
We still have mixed thoughts on our backsplash. With the new setup – lowering the bar and adding a window on the area where the microwave currently sits, we’ll only need backsplash on the wall with the range. In other words, not very much at all! So, this allows us to get something that may otherwise be overbearing. We were originally leaning towards a white beveled subway tile (although Kurtis prefers the non-beveled variety) we’re now wondering if we should go with something with a bit of a pattern. I’m willing to go with something a little more trendy/less classic here, since it would be an easy and rather affordable update down the road if we wanted to change things up. I’m thinking something subtle though, like a grayish-blue and white cement tile or a handmade subway with a bit of color. We need to run to a few custom stores in town to get a better feel for what’s out there. But here are a few options that have the vibe we’re considering. I’ve included direct links under each one if you want more info.
Again, these are just very conceptual at this point until we have a chance to see what’s out there and see some samples in person.
Island Color
Another big decision we have yet to make is the island color. I was originally thinking I wanted navy blue, then I thought about just doing white. Now I’m actually leaning towards a mid-tone grayish blue. Since a portion of ours will have to be replaced, I’m thinking I’m going to just put some samples up on our current one to test them in the natural light. With the island being lowered in most areas, the thought of color doesn’t scare me quite as much. I would prefer it lean a bit more blue and Kurtis would prefer it be a bit more gray. So this one may end up being a last-minute decision!
I’m actually super frustrated with Pinterest lately. 90% of the pins I click on are basically click-bait so I can’t ever find the real information I’m looking for. I have found so many beautiful kitchen islands but can’t ever find the original source to get paint colors and it feels like I keep going in circles. I even try reverse Google images searches and since Pinterest basically out-ranks everything I only get links to every folder the image is on. #sorryfortherant So, I’ll just have to go with a little trial and error. Here’s a quick idea of one I was able to get the source on:

I’ve long been obsessed with these interior doors. The colors has been hotly debated, but the owner/designer insists it’s Benjamin Moore Cape May Cobblestone. If you look at the sample it’s closer to a muddy gray/taupe color but Kate says it turns blue in certain lights. So, it may be another one to consider!

We obviously still have a lot of other decisions to make like hardware, faucet, pot filler vs. no pot-filler, window style, etc. We’re just trying to get the base decisions made before moving on further. I’ll keep you posted in another week or two as we continue to make decisions!

The Kentucky Derby is on the horizon, and that signals the start of warmer months ahead for the vast majority of people residing in the United States.

Semi-Custom vs. Full-Custom Cabinetry
What’s the difference between custom cabinet and semi-custom cabinet. 95% of our jobs are semi-custom cabinetry. We can achieve a beautiful look without the extra expenditure of a custom cabinets.
In custom, the European finish is very popular right now, it’s a very hot trend. And you are only going to achieve that look by going full custom. The wood is a solid grade melamine plywood core. It is dense and is coated with a high-end, ultra-exclusive conversion varnish. Your kitchen comes to life, but again, you must go full custom to achieve that look.
Personally, I prefer semi-custom. For my own homes that I have remodeled myself, I go with semi-custom because if you put a dollar in, you will get that dollar back when you sell it. Here’s why.
The wood is all the same cut as the full custom, except that the cuts have been outsourced. So, the wood quality is the same, the cuts are standardized, and you can still get all the cool features like mouldings, toe kicks and soft-closing drawers and hinges but for a very affordable price.
The bathroom in your home is the second most important room when it comes to value, after the kitchen. This is why you need to choose the best bathroom renovation company when you remodel your home. If you are unsure of what to look for, there are a number of points that you can consider to help with this.
Look For A Local Company
When you start looking for a bathroom renovation company, you should look at local ones first. A local company will generally be cheaper because they can locally source the materials they need. Additionally, you will be able to interview them sooner than a national company who may not have a representative in your area. The upside to this is you will be able to have face to face contact with them and ensure that everything is running smoothly, and that they are not trying to rip you off.
Online searches are the best place to start when looking for a local bathroom re modelling company. You can also ask anyone that you know who has had their room redone about the company they used. Classified adverts might also be helpful, but you will need to complete some research on these companies. You want to make sure that you only use a company that has a high level of satisfied customers and that they haven’t had anyone slander them because of bad work that they have done. This could lead to problems in the future if they are a low grade renovator as things may start to break early on which will cost you big $$$$ into the future.
Once you have your list of potential bathroom renovation companies, you need to start researching them. You should never contact a company that you have not researched because you will not know if they can offer you everything you need. The first step to research will be to look at the company website, if they have one.
While on the website, you should look at the credentials that their contractors have and that the company holds. You will need to ensure that the company has the correct state and municipal license. Designations and certifications from professional associations should also be considered such as the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. In order to get these designations, the company will have to commit to certain training for their employees and certain knowledge of the work they do.
Once you have removed the companies that do not have the correct credentials from your list, you need to look at reviews. Reviews will give you a better idea of how the company treats their customers, but you do need to be careful with this. Reviews will generally provide only one side of the story and unhappy customers are more likely to leave a review than happy ones.
When looking at reviews, you should consider ones that had a similar job to yours. You should also see if the company has responded to any of the reviews. Looking at their responses will tell you more about how the company views their customers and the service you are going to get.
When you have a smaller list, you will need to set up some meetings. These meetings allow you to talk to the company about the renovations you want to be done, give them a chance to see the location for their estimate and for you to ask them further questions. The further questions will help you determine if they are the best company for the job or not.
During the interview, you should also consider how comfortable you are with the contractors. This is important because they will be in your home. If you are uncomfortable with the company, you should not hire them regardless of the estimate they provide.
