Holy cr**!!!! A kitchen for a used car--only in America is right--and a terrific-looking kitchen at that! ENJOY!!!!!

I love how warm your kitchen is and the back story is priceless! For a small kitchen, your work space seems quite good and you have a lot of storage as well. This is a nice happy ending ;)

Thanks guys I am so proud of it, the fabricator even helped me out by using only one slab to do my countertops....................I paid $11 per square foot for 3cm white river granite, the fabricator charged me only $15 per sq foot to do it.

BTW the deal was for the car and $1500.00, here is a picture of it.

Love it all! You very much got the better deal ;)

I love it. Congratulations!

It looks terrific! What a beautiful, elegant space. And it comes with a great story, too. I love your backsplash!

Very nice! Getting the fridge out of the little u-shape really opened the space up and makes it more usable and friendly.

Dianalo is right, you do have lots of space. I like your material choices, as well. Your kitchen is modern, has clean lines, and is warm and inviting.

Fabulous! That's a great kitchen!!! And a great car, too. Looks like a swell swap all the way around. Congratulations!

Very nice! Clean, smooth. I really like the stone for the countertop. I don't think the flexible duct for the range hood vent is code, but . . .

Great kitchen for a great price! The graining on your cabs is beautiful, and the BS and granite compliment them wonderfully! Very smart to go modern with nice, clean lines. Enjoy!

Great story and gorgeous kitchen! The walnut is so pretty. Love it!

Looks fabulous! WTG on the barter, too! I agree, you got the better deal!

He had to pay me $1500 also to get the car, after everything is done I think we should have gone with Darker Walnut cabinet's............Let me know what you think about that

No no, the color of the cabinets is great as it is! Darker might look more contemporary, is that what you are thinking? Well, maybe, but your cabinets are sleek and modern and lovely just as they are.

any darker and the cabs would be cold..not as inviting...you did the right thing.

I love it! Great job re-configuring the space to get the most out of it! If we could all be so lucky!!! =)

Tell me about your sink- what size, make, depth? How do you like the little sink? I am leaning in that direction just for the sake of having 2 sinks but wonder if it is useful or wasteful?

Love how your re-model turned out!

Great kitchen. Love the granite and backsplash. Your color stain really shows off the beautiful wood. Going darker you wouldn't see it as well.

Very handsome kitchen and great story.

For a small kitchen you have an amazing amount of counter space. The stone and the tile are beautful, goes great with your new cabinets. Terrific job!

Spectacular, Savvy, Sexy, Stylish little kitchen!

What a perfect place to cook. You already know this but
honestly it is money well spent on details such as the
walker zanger, undermount sink, the modern looking
hardware, the gorgeous granite (it looks like you spent 50
per sq foot not 15), even the edge and seams look amazing
and you upgraded your appliances.

Spectacular transformation!

A few questions...
What appliances do you have? I love the handles.
And what color paint?
Did you take down the pop-corn ceiling?
Did you keep the can lights?
Did you put in undercab lighting?
Is that tile floor? I can only see a peek of it but it
look perfect with your kitchen. Was it new or is that
from before?

Again this really is a Spectacular Transformation.

Sweet! I wonder if dh would notice if I traded his hot rod for a new kitchen?

My DH and I just had a very long talk about how folks don't barter anymore....and then I see you fantastic example. You did a wonderful job. And that is a very cool car ! c

Here is all the items GE JSP46SP-SS slide in stove, Kitchenaid 24.5 Counter Depth Fridge, Kitchenaid 2.0 Microwave, Elkay Lustertone Sink ELUH322110L it lists for $925 got it New on eBay for $250( guy bought it for his remodel and changed his mind),Kohler K-597 Simplice Faucet,Elkay SS Sink Grid, Moen 3942SL Soap Dispenser.
I love the sink and 2 work well for me, I am planning on removing the ugly popcorn by next month.

Great job!! I love the tile backsplash - would you mind posting the company and name?

I think darker would have minimized the grain in the walnut and been high contrast -- a different look. I like seeing hte grain in that wood -- very nice.

FYI...be careful with advertising this....my DH pointed out that you and the cab folks are supposed to report this on a special barter form to the IRS. Best to NOT put the cab company name here....better safe than sorry ! c

Sweet deal all around! :^D

Love the cabs with that backsplash! Walnut always makes me smile. Great kitchen!

Guys Thanks so much for all your kind words, particularly since this is my first remodel:)

What a warm, inviting space! An impressive job and an impressive story, ashsdad. As with the car, this is a classic.
