Pedini Round Kitchens

I have noticed that round kitchens are being mentioned more and more.  The designers that have been frequently blogged about are those at Pedini USA.  Pedini designs ultra-modern kitchens  and have been known to take on projects for celebs such as Ronaldo and Leonardo Dicaprio.  Pedini’s round kitchen design is a remarkable design that adds convenience and a great look.

The design is major space saver and don’t worry about not having enough room for a helper, there is plenty of space on the outside where the cooking area continues.  This is sure to promote home cooking and may be the new rage in the new decade.

Parr Granite Remnant Sale

October 16, 2010:: Parr Sale

Saturday…………………..12pm – 4pm

Looking for a steal of a deal on slab countertops? Parr Cabnet Outlet is hosting a clearance sale of slab granite, quartz, marble and other exotic stones. We have hundreds of pieces in every style and color you can imagine, and they’re all one low price of $10/sqft! So bring down the friends and family for three days of tremendous savings!

THE DEALS
Material                      $10/sqft
Fabrication                 $24/sqft
Template + Install       $16/sqft

What Should I Know Before I Go?WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
The sale is three days only, so make sure to bring a drawing with measurements for your planned countertop. It will help us give you an accurate price and prevent delays! 

WHAT TYPE OF MATERIALS ARE YOUR REMNANTS?
We have many natural stones such as granite, marble, travertine, limestone, soapstone & slate. We also have quartz surfaces such as Cambria, Zodiaq, Caesarstone, Silestone & more. Generally, the pieces are 3cm thick (1 ¼ in) but many are also 2cm (¾ in). We will not be selling any solid surfaces (i.e. Corian, Hi-Macs) at this event.

HOW BIG ARE YOUR SLABS? CAN I DO MY WHOLE KITCHEN?

We have pieces in all sizes from coffee table size to full slabs. Generally, they average about 12-30 sq ft.

WHAT ARE THE COSTS TO FABRICATE MY REMNANT INTO A FINISHED TOP? Prices start with the slab size @ $10/sqft. For fabrication, add just $24/sqft (based on top size, not remnant). The price of edges, cutouts, and radiuses are already in this price!

HOW MUCH DOES THE TEMPLATE/INSTALL SERVICE COST?
The template/install service is a $16/sq ft charge with a $200 minimum (based on the sq ft of the remnant, not finished top). This also assumes you live within 50 miles of our shop. See template/install trip charge for more.

WHAT IS THE TURNAROUND TIME FOR A FABRICATED TOP?
We plan on a 7-10 business day turnaround for fabricated tops. It could be shorter depending on the simplicity of design. We will notify you when your top is ready for pickup. 

DO YOU DELIVER?
The event is set up for cash & carry (you pick up) or full service (we do the template, fabrication & install) which includes delivery.

CAN I PICK UP MY TOPS THE SAME DAY I BUY THEM?
Unfinished pieces are same-day cash & carry. Fabricated pieces have a turnaround time (see above). 

IF MY TOP LAYOUT DOESN’T USE THE WHOLE PIECE, HOW DOES THAT AFFECT THE PRICE? CAN I KEEP THE LEFTOVERS?
Prices are based on the remnant size @ $10/sqft regardless of the size of your layout. We will have layout specialists on site to help you determine if the piece you want will be of suitable size. Any falloff during fabrication will be sent to recycling; we do not supply unfinished leftovers for liability reasons. Finished leftovers (i.e. cutting boards or coffee tables) can be supplied at the fabrication price of $24/sqft.

WHAT IF THE PIECE I PURCHASE ENDS UP NOT BEING BIG ENOUGH TO DO MY JOB?
We’ll ask you to select another remnant and charge or credit you the difference. 

WHAT IF MY TOPS END UP NOT FITTING?
If we fabricate countertops from your drawings, they will be based on your overall dimensions with basic geometry (rectangles, circles, etc). This is generally safe for tabletops, islands and simple vanities but we cannot be held responsible for the final fit if you forgo our optional template services.

CAN I USE YOUR TEMPLATE SERVICES AND DO THE INSTALL MYSELF?
No. If the tops are complex enough to need template services, they will need the installation expertise of a professional; therefore we do not offer template services without install services.

I LIVE WAY OUT IN (insert far away land). WILL YOU STILL COME OUT TO TEMPLATE AND INSTALL?
Certainly. But anything beyond 50 miles of our shop is charged a $100 trip fee. 

DO YOU OFFER RETURNS/EXCHANGES?
Sorry. All sales are final for this event.
NO EXCHANGES.
NO RETURNS.

WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?
We will gladly accept cash, Visa or Mastercard.

ARE THERE ANY HIDDEN CHARGES?
We’ve done our best to outline the standard charges of the event but if anything out of the ordinary is needed, be sure to tell one of our staff so they can help you with your request.

OTHER SERVICES TO THINK ABOUT.
Plumbing and tearout are additional services we offer. Prices for these services can be discussed with your sales rep.

Purchase a Private Island::

Today I came across a wonderful article from HGTV about kitchen islands and how they are a priceless addition to your kitchen. They add a beautiful design element and are quite functional as well. Here are a few ways a kitchen island can benefit you and your family.

1. They provide extra workspace
2. They can be used for dining
3. You can add a stove top or a prep sink
4. They add additional storage space with drawers or open shelves
5. It can be utilized as bar style seating
6. Great spot for preparing meals
7. You can use it for serving buffet style meals
8. Great spot for doing homework or work on your laptop

Check out the photos below to get an idea of what one could look like in your kitchen.



Classic Bathrooms and Beyond::

Happy Friday!

For those of us who like to decorate, updating your bathroom can be an extremely gratifying investment of your money and your time. When you begin you will want to find a style that fits you. One great idea is to create a classis and elegant vintage style bathroom; one that will not quickly become outdated. You can get inspired by vintage architecture, for example  American Bungalow magazine, museums, and interior magazines. Try and capture a specific period with the right colors, fixtures (for example ones that have flourishes). Then decorate with antiques and make it your own by using family photos.  Just remember have fun and keep it classic! 
Do you like the classic vintage look or would you prefer a more modern style?

Greek Traditions ::

Traditional Greek food has always been one of my favorite foods, because there is nothing quite like it. I found a restaurant right here in Seattle who serves divine Greek dishes, with texture, spice and lots of flavor. These culinary dishes have been around for centuries and they have stuck with many of us because of its unique taste.  Coastal Kitchen, right is Capital Hill, invites everyone to join them for a six course menu which is designed my Chef Todd Togerson, with selected wines, music, culture, and of course mouth watering Greek food. The event is Wed. Sept. 1 at 6:30 PM, and for more information you can visit http://www.seattle-eats.com/ or contact Eli at coastalkitchen@seattle-eats.com. What is your favorite Greek dish?
