Pics of Yet Another Almost Finished White Kitchen

12 years ago

We're almost finished with phase I of the renovation of our 1920 Colonial Revival home in Urban Deep South, which includes a full kitchen renovation, and I wanted to share a few "almost finished" photos I took with my trusty iPhone on two subsequent evenings last week when we stopped by the house.

This is looking into the kitchen from our dining room. L-shaped banquette is at the far end. Island will have a walnut countertop with ogee edge.

This is the sink (exterior) wall. On far end is "entertainment" area with designated cubby for the tv. The far end of this wall used to jog in a few inches, and ouldn't have this long expanse of cabinetry. We had to get a variance to buy ourselves those extra few inches.

This is the left, interior wall. Fridge will be paneled and fully integrated. Area between fridge and triple stack is our pantry. We live intown where space is at a premium so no room for walk-in pantry. I'm not a hoarder so this should work just fine for us. :)

Looking from the banquette end back toward the dining room.

This was taken the following evening, after most of the knobs & pulls were installed. Both legs of the L-banquette have windows over them. The far windows overlook our backyard from 2 stories above ground (our lot slopes severely from front yard to back) and the left windows (not shown) overlook our new bluestone terrace, which is also 2 stories above ground. Feels like you're in a treehouse back there.

Will see if I can dig up before photos (1994 reno on the cheap with white laminate cabinets, white Corian, dated tile, powder room in kitchen, etc.) and will be sure to post finished pics after we move in.

Thanks for everyone's help on this forum.

Crud...this is the first time I've tried to post pics and the image URLS didn't work. How do I fix it? May not have a chance to redo this post until late tonight or tomorrow. Drat!

sweetandrew -- You have made the photos a bit labor-intensive to look at. I think your kitchen is lovely and well worth some fuss to see, but you might want to see whether you can provide a link to thumbnails or a slide show.

Cheers and congratulations. hbk

fairytalebaby - I saw your earlier post about island size, and I didn't answer because you had so many answers! Ours is 96" long x 40" deep. Four stools fit comfortably, and I plan to squeeze in 5 for larger family gatherings. I guess it also depends on how wide your stools are. The ones I have are about 15" wide.

Emy315, I love the kitchen cabinets and especially your beautiful crown molding. I feel the rest of your house must be beautiful with your good taste and that gorgeous crown molding being the same. I love the Porcelain tile and your counters. I like the two tone look with the Island darker. I love your high ceiling and how big and open your kitchen is. Your appliances are beautiful, your kitchen lights are perfect for the kitchen and that table and chairs really ties in with the island. Thank you for sharing you beautiful kitchen.

Sorry I don't have pics, but if you're stopping by a SW store this weekend, here are the options our designer selected for our white kitchen (see "Pics of Yet Another Almost Finished White Kitchen" thread) and her comments on each color. (1) SW 6386, Napery (YELLOW): This light buttery color will tie in very well with the remainder of the house. It will also look good with blues and greens. Cons: This color is not as cool as the other choices and may not give you the crisp look you are being drawn to in the magazine pics you shared with me. (2) SW 6421, Celery (GREEN): This crisp and cool green with look great with your blue and white dishes and ties in well with the rest of the house. Banquette upholstery could be done in a blue and white them to help tie in the dishes. Cons: May not be as sophisticated as the look you were desiring. (3) SW 6246, North Star (BLUE GRAY, THE COLOR WE CHOSE): This color of blue will look beautiful with the white cabinets, countertops, and blue and white dishes. If used, green could be used as a complimentary color in the banquette upholstery. Thought I'd pass this along so someone else could possibly benefit from the design fee we paid for this. :)

That is so elegant and pretty! I love the banquette and can't wait to see your island counter installed ;)
The sound of s 2 story terrace that looks like being in a treehouse sounds so wonderful! One of my fave houses IRL that I have seen has that effect from a sloping terraced backyard. It is like floating with a grand view when at the table or on the deck.

Sweetandrew, your kitchen is beautiful! Thanks for sharing these pictures of your progress.

I, too, am planning a white kitchen and am wondering what color paint you used on your cabinets. Thanks!

Very pretty kitchen, indeed! Do you know the paint color of your cabinets?

Love the light you used too BTW. The lighting makes the room, as Candice Olson says. And it was done very well in your kitchen.

Congrats!

You used the bulletin board code. This software predates it. You need to use HTML code to make your pictures show up in the messages.

Hello, thank you for all the positive feedback. Can't wait to show my kitchen to my friend in the 'burbs--her pantry is as big as my entire kitchen.

Paint color on cabinets is SW Alabaster. Hubby thought it was too yellow at 1st but we're both pleased now.

Perimeter countertops are Imperial Danby marble, which I obsessed over, but I honestly think could have gone with something different (and saved some $$). We used it for powder room sink vanity as well as kitchen sink window sill, and it looks nice there.

Range hood is 36 in. Best hood. Architect spec'd 36 in hood for 30 in. Wolf cooktop, which was a good call. He also did a good job with lighting design.
