KD Kitchen
Here is the kitchen we did just before Christmas. There were a lot of renos in there. A wall was removed and it made a huge difference. It reminded me of when I used to work in Montreal. 95% of the kitchens were renos with walls removed. The guys in the shop say this was one of their favorite kitchens. Even though there was no island work nor fan. You can see a trend here with my kitchens. All upper cabinets are 36" with 6" crown. All drawers are made with the shop bot. I think it is crazy to outsource for drawers when you have a shop bot. Nobody in my area seems to care about dove tail drawers. All made with cabinet parts. The program kicks ass. Ryan recently updated the program and his nesting is way better. Most of the drawers that I do is from wasted material. We did all the renos: the floor, extended the partition. We did not do the lighting. We offered to put in pot lights but they were a little old fashioned, as you can tell by the countertop. Not my job to ram down what I like.
Customer was happy, ecstatic. She had 15 people over at Christmas and cooked with room to spare. As you can see in a lot of my work, I try to put drawers on the left and right of the stove. Same thing with the pot drawers in the pantry. They are functional as hell. Of course the fridge is always flush with the cabinetry. You can see that there is removable facing around the fridge because she has an undersised fridge. Most fridge heights, not built-in, are 72".
The big expensive appliances are not here yet. Reminds me of Montreal 15 years ago. I think that will change within a year or two. It's really about being priced right for your market.
