" Now we've just gotten the kitchen door installed. And let me tell you there's nothing like having a kitchen that incorporates a little bit of mud room so that when you come in you've got a place to hang up the outerwear. That the idea here is that the whole kitchen space has three main areas this area is. As I said a mudroom a place for clothing as well also harder pantry for food -- A secondary sink in this area here her flower arranging or effort doing salads and the like. Our side by side refrigerator which of course is the cold Lardner when all of about the speaks of their houses that you could fit in. And flush mount the citing this is the -- setting the same exact steps that we've got everywhere in the kitchen. Over here we've got. One of two dinner extra large convection or regular ovens with all the digital controls. And what I really like about this is that it gives me the option to have the baking operation of the Turkey or whatever going on in here. You got a secondary oven in the main area of the kitchen where you can be doing other stuff. Now the second. Third. Element. Is the Galley kitchen itself. So that here you've got -- huge combination of things happening but what we wanted to do in terms of the design. Which really kind of so look towards a commercial installation a restaurant installation. And we've got prefabricated stainless steel hood. Which was made right here in Weymouth -- but most major cities have. These type of companies that will manufacture the loath to do it for residential Bob job unless the architect really knows this stuff and has done a great job. See this forces. Souvenir from the old Julia child set on PBS years ago was given to me and we kind of incorporated here so that you have the option of using all of these pots and pants and having them right where you can see them. The the stainless steel continues down as a backsplash and a shelf and as these beautiful counters. That flank are still open you gotta see this is when a fabricator really does quality work that can do a beautiful rounded -- like that. And so we've flanked are cooktop. With stainless steel the cooktop itself is from the brownstone works a five star model and this is. Well it's an incredibly heavy duty and high quality affair and one of the things that it has that really wonderful is it has the high output. Burner which you can turn back to a micro simmer with you actually only have. The center part. Bernie so that you can really simmer -- very very lightly and in the -- get a barbecue. Which you can pull out and replaced with the skillet depending on what you want to -- so this is the heart of the kitchen this is really where we're gonna have some some fun. We've got the complete preparation area and you'll notice this and usual countertop material is soapstone. A product that originally was used extensively in the nineteenth century out of Vermont. The quarries up there have been exhausted for large stones in these stones in fact come from Brazil. The beauty of this soapstone is that it comes raw hasn't worked he fabricated on site -- can take a regular routers and you can. Do these edges and the bull -- is quite easily. And when you've completed you get a natural surface that you can do food preparation and although it since the billiard night which is another reason. For using -- good butcher -- these are hard rock maple from eastern butcher block. Which I've always looked -- you can just carry them around from place to place. The main thing in the kitchen that Kinetico. Purified water source and of course our little -- mouth not European made in America which gives you the same terrific features the dishwasher this constant in there as well and the big thing with European. Dishwasher this they're so quietly listen to this when you put on one of the cycle that's an extremely quiet machine very very high quality. And then you go from this middle third to the third part of the kitchen which is where we've got the family eating arrangement you've got this element here where you can take the dishes and bring him right over here you can get a kid to put them away after they're done in the dishwasher. And then of course the butler's pantry area over here. Where our installers Todd Allen Jimmy -- spectacular job of blending all these cabinets. And putting in all these wonderful moldings and in fact we've got a couple of nifty features here. Such as this these are also sub zero new product where you can have a secondary refrigeration area that breakfast area and it matches the cabinets."
