In reply to Janice. Thank you so much! I love my range hood! It's actually made by the same company that made my cabinets, Yorktowne. :)

In reply to Sam Merritt. Beautiful! Is the range hood by the same Cafe brand?

In reply to S. Taylor.

Thanks!
Cabinets were made by Yorktowne (solid wood). Uppers are maple in “sea salt”, lowers are cherry wood with a “cappuccino” stain.
Countertop is Calacatta Miraggio Seaglass Quartz.
Tile is white Zellige tile.
Sink is a single basin stainless steel undermount 33×24.
Faucet is the Delta Broderick faucet in Champagne Bronze.
Pulls are Top Knobs Cumberland pulls in Honey Bronze and the corresponding Cumberland knobs in Honey Bronze.
Appliances are Cafe brand (gas range, which I LOVE, and fridge which is pretty and I have no complaints about.
Nothing I would change here, I only use the kitchen for filming so it’s not my daily workhorse kitchen but I love the layout of it and wouldn’t change anything, I truly love it 🙂
I will likely be updating my upstairs daily-use kitchen this year and am tempted to just pick exactly the same finishes for everything because I really do love the feel of the studio so much. We’ll see!
I hope this helps!

I really like the warm natural wood lower cabinets you chose. Thank you for sharing the brand name of your stove/oven and fridge. Would you be willing to list and share in your comment section (others looking for same info) the brand names for your cabinets (both lowers & uppers), countertop, tile, sink, faucet, cabinet pulls/knobs, etc?

What is the brand, style, wood shade of your lower cabinets? What material are they made of; solid wood, plywood, mdf? After working in the kitchen for almost a year, is there anything you would change or do differently?

I look forward to trying a new cinnamon bun recipe, and incorporating mashed potatoes. Thanks for sharing this tip; I’ve used potato water, but moisture retention from actual mashed potatoes makes sense.

My girls and I LOVE your recipes. Whenever we want to bake we come to you first and the result is always delicious. All I have to say is “it’s a sugar spin recipe” and the family dives right in. Well done you for taking the leap.

You are my go-to recipe spot for anything sweet! And your sourdough is a staple in our house! You think about things the way I like to, with great precision and figuring out what things make the “best” version of the options out there. Thank you for all you do! Your kitchen is beautiful, and I’m so glad you can have your family space back!

Congratulations Sam! Thank goodness you didn’t hit that button! Your recipes have transformed my baking and cooking over the last few years and I couldn’t be more grateful (my husband is very appreciative too lol). You’re my go-to recipe source; I check to see if you have a post about something before looking anywhere else. Thanks for all you do!
