Dear All,

Thanks to your advice about ordering from Ikea Direct (no shipping charge - and remember to bargain with them), about figuring out why the kitchen planner kept crashing, how to construct a cover for the massive range hood, how to buy 153 degree hinges before US stores stocked them (business trip to Paris), how to figure out a draft order . . . I got a beautiful Ikea kitchen.

Cabinets are Tidaholm Oak, window trim is oak stained to match, floor is 18" slate tile, backsplash tile comes from Motawi in Michigan, granite is Verde Peacock, stove is 48" Blue Star (and the other appliances are old), and the china hutch comes from Craigslist! Istill have to take a picture of the walk-through pantry - I'll do that tomorrow.


If you are interested in all the gory details of construction, check out the kitchen's Flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/justine...7594240291150/

thanks again!

Wow! That's so cool! Love what you did with the range hood. And the motawi tiles...oh, they're always so gorgeous! Congrats, you have a great kitchen!

As an aside, have you joined the IKEAFANS group on Flickr? StacyLu started it, and at last check we had about 16 members. Pool those photos!

Thansk and thanks. Yes I did join the Flickr Ikeafans site, but it took me a while to figure out how to pool photos! I think it's done now...
