Kitchen remodels

[Irulan]

re dual fuel stoves, yes, that might be in our budget. We had a gas line run a couple of years ago in anticipation of this someday project.
re going out of your way to use green products. It can be a good choice, but I have a friend who wanted to import ultra green interior paint from Europe for their green remodel. Let's not factor in shipping cost from Europe, shall we? How green is that?

Anyone have any good design resource websites? After sharing my "as-is" photos on another site, I've gottten some great ideas that I never would have thought of.

You might be already familiar with this one: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/categories/kitchen
Here's an Italian manufacturer of kitchen cabinetry: http://www.recordcucine.com/eng/

Anyway... I love this forum! It's so much fun.

Houzz. And Pinterest, but I've never looked at Pinterest so I can't tell you if it seems useful or not.

We put a Jenn-Air dual fuel downdraft range in our island (which I refer to as "a small continent" because it's so big!). I love it. A perk - even if power is out, you can still cook on the stovetop (just need a match to light it). Been there, done that. We went with a downdraft because we didn't want a big hood hanging down from the ceiling in the middle of the kitchen. It keeps the whole space very open.
