The dish washer ;D is left of the cabinet with the open drawer it's a build in one (behind a front)
Thanks for the compliment.

Keeping with the minimalist look if you ever want to make a new set of doors you can use the Blum "Tip On" for the doors (basically a spring loaded magnetic catch) and then use Blum's ServoDrive for the drawers.  My wife and I (kids too)  just got back from KBIS in Chicago and Blum had a nice display of thier wares.  I have been using the Tip On stuff for the last 6 months or so and what bugged me was that if you bought the Tip On for drawers you lose the Blumotion.  Well now with ServoDrive you actually use the Blum full ext. runners with integral blumotion and the device mounted behind the drawers will kick the drawer open when you slightly push on it.  Very, Very, Cool and no hardware needed.  Tap the drawer and it's open sesame.  Retail will be close to $100 a drawer.  Very nice looking stuff as is most Blum products.

Fantastic, Chris!  My wife and I dance around the kitchen like that all the time, and we still have to close our own drawers!  I especially like dancing to commercials. LOL

nice!
what type of finish did you apply to get the gloss white?

Nice Kitchen!  Small put looks good!

I love the servo drive and have been thinking of using it in my kitchen build but cost man cost!  Just tandemboxes and hinges cost so much!

Stunning kitchen.  I would have had black walnut worktops but that is just my opinion.  Love all the drawers, especially the wide ones.  Any construction pics of the build ?
