Final Kitchen Reveal

11 years ago

My kitchen was finished the week before Christmas. I've been trying to get final touches together. I am really enjoying it! Now that DH has seen the difference, Tuesday the painter starts on the Living room, entry ways, and hall. We're having the popcorn ceiling removed and the walls painted. I'm going to go 2 shades lighter than the kitchen and dining room.

Thank you for all the help!!

What a transformation! The backsplash looks fantastic with your quartz. It looks so much more open and lighter. Good luck with the painting and enjoy your beautiful kitchen.

I love it! The brick, the wood grain, everything! It feels like it has some history to it, even though it is new. I've been trying to plan storage for my vitamix in my new kitchen, thinking it would need an extra tall space, but I might copy your method, and store it with the container next to, rather than on, the base, inside of an appliance garage.

Wow--so jarring to see my name pop up on page 1 out of the blue! I just really love Sub Zero. I think that the fridges perform fabulously. The difference in food freshness is really noticeable. And their customer service is superb. I just have peace of mind with SZ. We had the old 42" sxs for 12 or 13 years and never had one single problem with it. And so far, so good with the new one. Yes, SZ is really expensive but I think the difference is worth it. About the freshness--my eldest daughter moved out last month to get her own apartment. We are all big salad eaters--we go through the one pound boxes of pre-washed greens in three days at the most. They always stay fresh in our fridge. She has trouble keeping smaller bags of salad fresh in her Kitchen Aid fridge (admittedly probably a lower end model, but still...) As I think I mentioned somewhere in the thread, I went with the 36" French door model this time around because I wanted my produce at waist level and wanted to be able to store wide things like party platters. The side by side was limited in width and I had to bend down to get a piece of fruit. So I am really happy about those two differences. I also like the freezer on bottom because I open the fridge about 10 times for every time I open the freezer. I don't use much ice, other than for smoothies, and am a sworn enemy of ice or water in the door. The freezer is admittedly a bit small and I was a little concerned about that when I made my buying decision. But I didn't really have a choice because I didn't want the side by side again. The freezer is about 2/3 the size of the freezer on the 42" s x s. When my kids lived at home all the time, I think a freezer that size would have been a bit inconvenient without a second freezer somewhere else (and since we live in an apartment, that somewhere else means an actual room). But the kids are mostly gone now. Also, I have a lot more time on my hands and like to cook almost every day (loving that Blue Star!), so I have less reason to cook and freeze. I just have to be strategic when we make a Costco run! I hope that answers your question, bend-or. A bit off-topic, do you live in Bend, Oregon? We did a bike trip from Ashland to Bend a few years ago. We thought that it was a really beautiful part of the country.

Sanjuangirl - yes the bathroom tile is all Artistic Tile. I'm so pleased with how it came out. The kitchen and master bath are both long, narrow'ish rooms so I was a bit concerned with how they would work, but I'm really happy with the functionality of both. Laura, the hood is a Wolf we got on floor model sale. kksmama - our aisle widths are way below what is considered acceptable here on GW and they are more than adequate. We just had a party with 27 people all of whom hung out in the kitchen - people were sitting on the window seat bench and it didn't feel cramped at all. I was able to navigate around to clear and refill things no problem. It may help that our sink, dishwasher and fridge are all beyond the island so none of those are restricted at all. I'll go measure for you in a bit but we have a play date in a few minutes and our living room is horrifying! ; )

I can't believe I never commented on this. I've had your kitchen bookmarked since June and I've kept coming back to look at it. I've never seen a two-toned kitchen come together this nicely! All the materials harmonize perfectly. I've showed this to my DH and he said, "That's it!". That sealed the deal. We're using your kitchen as our inspiration. :) I noticed on another thread you mentioned you are in Florida and your home is on a slab. We are also in Florida (Miami) and on a slab. We love the look of hardwood flooring, but everything we've read seems to discourage using them in this climate while on a slab. Can you tell me about your floors? How were they laid? Glued down? What species are they? Have you had any problems?

Your previous kitchen looked pretty tired out. I love that you kept nice warm wood in your space. All the rest of your finishes give the kitchen lots of pizazz. I'll bet you love the new location of your refrigerator.
Everyone that wants to replace peninsulas with an island should see how lovely your peninsula kitchen looks. Congratulations

What a great transformation! Cabs to ceiling, new placement of fridge, beautiful cabs and counters, and lovely BS. I bet you're enjoying cooking so much more now with some space on both sides of your range! You've created a warm, welcoming, and (most importantly) highly functional kitchen--congratulations!!

Very nice comfortable and soothing space! Everything ties in nicely together. I really enjoy the lighting you chose too. How are you liking your kenmore slide in? A slide in is on my 'list' also.

What a beautiful kitchen! Such a warm space- love the wood cabinets. I really like your backsplash with the accent tile. Glad you're enjoying your wonderful new space.

I love the way you stayed true to the warm feel of the original kitchen and your traditional furniture and decor with your new kitchen. And I'm glad you didn't try to shoehorn an island in. Those cabinets are gorgeous, and I like the clever way you accented your white subway with the mini subway tiles in the backsplash. Great job!

Gorgeous kitchen! Love your backsplash and cabinets and I see you have new floors too- lovely! I am ordering new cabinets this week and am also getting Medallion. Are you pleased with cabinets? They look great, are they maple or cherry?

I love how I can see the ghost of the old kitchen, which has the wonderful 60's? starkness, in the new kitchen. Your choices are lovely.

I'm curious what new storage you incorporated for the baseball hats. In all my remodeling plans it's where items like that go and making new habits that will make the difference.

What a fabulous new kitchen! I love the color of your cabinets. Very warming inviting space. Everything comes together beautifully. And so much more functional now! It's great you now have space on either side of your stove. Enjoy it! Great job.

Everything looks perfect together: floor, backsplash, counter, cabinets. The cabinets are a beautiful color. Looks like a totally different room even though you didn't knock out any walls.
Why do so many kitchens have the stove right next to the fridge ? All builders who do that should be fined. HEAVILY. I looked at a new coop building and the stove was right next to the fridge, I had a meltdown and told the saleslady how I felt about that ...
Just changing the fridge placement and adding storage next to it must make you so happy.

What a very nice makeover. It all flows well together. Must be huge pleasure for you to enjoy the many elegant details.

I really like the smooth run of the upper cabinets to the ceiling.

Wow, you did a terrific job -- it looks beautiful! I thought I recognized Cambria. Love the way it looks with your cabs. And I'm taking note of your grout color. I like that it's a little different but not overwhelming.

Congrats on a job very well done!

Such a beautiful transformation! How did you get rid of your soffits? What was in them? The duct work for the heating and air are in mine so I don't think I can get rid of them without spending a fortune re-routing everything into the ceiling.

Was it a huge cost to remove them? I love your sink and the cabinet color and pulls. It's rich, warm and gorgeous. Congratulations!

Beautiful! That pendant is on my short list! And I like the way you did the BS also, not to fussy but a nice detail with the border stripe.

Thank you everyone! I absolutely love it! I love the new layout!

I really like the slide in oven. I had a drop in before. I like the slide in better.

I'm very pleased with my cabinets. They are maple. The door style I had to have are in their lowest line. So I upgraded to get plywood boxes, soft close drawers and more so I could get the door style I wanted.

I haven't figured out what to do with all the baseball caps yet. They will probably find a home in the utility room.

The soffits were easy to get rid of. No extra cost to get rid of them. There was nothing under them.

My Cambria was the first the I picked out. The rest of the kitchen was designed around it.

Thank you again for all your help!

Beautiful, especially the Cambria. Can you tell me the height of your ceilings? Are they 8 ft? We desparately need to remodel and my layout(soffits) are very similar to yours and I want to go all the way to the ceiling with the cabs for add'l storage.
Thanks.

I have same countertop on my 9 1/2' island, I like your wall color better. Think I might try that. Not sure it will go with adjoining carpet though. I have bull-nose corners and is hard to switch color but think it may work.
Your project turned out beautiful. We have several similar things!
