The only thing I have found that I am committed to, as far as appliances go, is a dual fuel LG range. The commercial style ranges (Wolf, Viking, etc.) are higher than Spiccoli.
We are in the process of selling our motorcoach, but wife says keep it until the remodel is done so we can have some sort of kitchen. Uggg, gonna miss the best time of the year to sell.
I did ours the day we got the keys for the house ,it's a small house and it really opened the living area , I've seen some of your projects and can safely say that your budget will be greatly higher then what mine was . The finished picture was taken from where the blue ladder is in the other picture . I did the whole job including appliances and was under 8k.
The Shop
Plan on some of these in the build ,I did one cabinet and now the wife wants all the cabinets done, they don't seem like much but the first time you don't have to dig to the back of the cabinet you will be thrilled.
Our 1981 kitchen cabinets wrap around three ways and are all being replaced. Had some water damage about ten years ago that ruined most of one row of the lowers that we did a bit of a patch job on. Trying to save and repurpose some of them for the utility room and maybe my garage. Wife wants a double oven but I don't want to give up the wall space for that. And with me wanting some sort of huge cook top I have looked into the overpriced Thermador products. Trying to learn more about reliability and service/maintenance costs on those. They do have some incentives right now, "free" dishwasher and vent hoods with the range and fridge/freezer combos.
Wife also wants to rip out the 1994 ceramic tile and put down wood. Nixing that huge mess but will go with a nice floating wood over the tile.
It is truly mind numbing at all the shit you accumulate in cabinets over the course of 24 years. That will be another thread as we get rid of a truckload of crap and replace it with some good solid cooking tools.
Are you going to do a nice backsplash?

Have you guys thought of getting rid of your microwave completely? We've lived without one for 2 years now, and honestly, it promotes better/healthier cooking and doesn't really take much more time. We use the broiler and boil water on the stove instead.
This oven we looked at might just be the ticket as the smaller compartment heats up instantly. Steam feature is supposed to reheat food without overcooking or turning it to rubber. Other than that, I did look at a microwave that fits in a drawer. Pretty cool.
I installed the flooring myself..it's engineered natural hand scrapped hickory 1/2" thick x 5" wide. The hand scrapped is the way to go because the surface isn't glossy and so it hides dust, scratches..etc.
The appliances are GE Slate..love the slate...no finger prints like stainless. FYI - if you need appliances I can get you friends and family discount from work (GE).
I still need to install the tile backsplash.
One thing I strongly recommend are under cabinet lights!
Couple pics..
