[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has been interesting to read.  I think of 'high-end' as a blend of features and fixtures.  But folks really sounded off when someone listed a bunch of features (although there were some features included, like wood-paneling on appliances).

I have to agree, though, that those items on the long list would be on [i]my[/i] list for a 'high-end' kitchen.  For additional features, I would add wallpaper (not in keeping with the tile backsplash craze these days, I know), wood floors and real window treatments, even draperies if appropriate.  I also would add that the cabinetry be all wood, not particle board or laminate faces.  Counter-tops would need to be in an understated stone that complemented the cabinetry and wallpaper.

In my mind, there is a difference between being high-end, expensive and luxurious.  [b]High-end implies to me well-chosen features and fixtures to meet function in a nice way; expensive means it cost the most; and luxurious, well, then you need a gilded golf cart to glide on the golden rails to get from one end to the other[/b].[/quote]

Very nice differentiating description.[/quote]

Thanks, it worked for me to sort it out!  My sister has an addition:  ostentatious is that it makes you giggle or gape when you first see it.[/quote]

Somehow I don't think an ostentatious is one that is functional :) [/quote]

Only if you can stop laughing long enough to do what you need to do!
