The Kitchen
I know people want to see pictures of the kitchen. I will add more later, but here are some pictures.
The mantle over the range was installed Easter weekend. Sue, Polly, John and I lifted it up onto the base cabinets. This piece was slightly damaged in transit and was reassembled by John and Polly. The two small doors on either side are pull-outs for spices and cooking oils.
We were lucky that there was an exsisting opening in the stone wall for the vent right where we needed one. There must have been a stove of some description there before. John installed and wired the the vent which is tucked up inside the mantle. The power is on to the vent and it's working perfectly.
This is really the centerpeice of the kitchen and I think the proportions of the panels are just right, Jim Kroll did a great job here.
Crown molding, subway tile and painting still to do on this section of the kitchen.

The granite is Venetian Gold. The slab on the island is one piece and there are two smaller pieces of granite beside the range. We were looking for a granite with the same colors as the stone fireplace and were lucky to find such a good match. The fireplace can be seen in the background of this picture.

This is the pantry/bar area. The maple top was made by Jim Kroll and fitted by John. John cut the holes and installed the sink and faucet. A small refrigerator will go in the opening.
Jim Kroll delivered this piece stained but John had to take it back down to the natural wood and restain after cutting the bar sink opening. Fortunately Jim provided additional stain so we were able to match the color. There are about 10 coats of urathane on the maple so hopefully it will wear well.

I love the refrigerator, it is totally integrated and looks fabulous. John has fitted the freezer drawer panels, the drawers are going to be replaced by subzero because they are cock-eyed.

Hello, I linked to this website through the Lacanche forum. I am considering a purchase and would like to see one in person. I live near Paoli. Please email me if it would be possible to view your Lacanche sometime. Thanks so much. Anita (amenegaux@ verizon.net)
Hi,
Your kitchen is just lovely. We actually found your page through a google images search for the Sub-Zero 736. But as we were scrolling to your fridge we spotted your Lacanche Cluny, the very range we are most interested in for our kitchen renovation. They are so beautiful, but there is very little information out there on their performance. Do you cook with your Cluny often? We have heard some negative things concerning the oven's heating abilities and temperature settings and would really love to hear about cooking and baking experiences with the Cluny. If you have any information or advice you would be willing to share, please contact us at Meredithnyc@msn.com
Thanks so much!
