Kitchen Reveal - Traditional Quiet White Kitchen
Comments (64)@erinf8 - The crown molding detail in our house is very odd. It is actually 1-3/4" picture molding mounted approximately 1/2" from the ceiling. Since the house is so old and the ceilings far from plumb, the 1/2" space can vary in dimension in any given room. The kitchen ceiling was terribly out of level as well. We feathered down the plaster as best as we could so the variances wouldn't be obvious. The final crown detail was actually a big disappointment of mine in this room. I could not get the cabinets guys or my carpenter to come up with a solution where we could get that 1/2" reveal at the top of the cabinets. We would have had to create extremely long scribes and had we not been running out of time, they might have figured it out. So at the cabinets the shadow line you see at the top is because the molding doesn't touch the ceiling there. It is a big compromise but when I look at the whole room, I try not to dwell on it. Sometimes working in an old house can be really challenging. I am glad I stuck to my guns and kept that little molding when I got a lot of unsolicted advice to use something larger. It just would have looked SO out of place next to the other rooms in our house. The space between counters and uppers is 18". The light colors make it all appear more airy, I think. Don't you love that salt box? I just got it two weeks ago at Crate and Barrel (Homestead Salt Cellar $9.95). It is the perfect size and it has a lid....See MoreNew Kitchen Final Reveal!
Comments (32)Sparkler, I am thrilled to see the photos of your kitchen and surrounding rooms. You have made outstanding choices. As others have said, the counter is stunning and the back splash is a winning element! I adore those floors -- having one floor throughout really enlarges the space. The wall colour is gorgeous too!! Can you tell us where you ordered your cabinets from? How was that experience? Enjoy your gorgeous home. I am sure it will be a dream to use and entertain in over the holidays!

Comments (29)I nearly didn't open this thread because I didn't realize there were photos (I have it set up so that a photo will show on the home page if the first post of a thread contains photos). So glad I got curious enough to look. Thanks for posting the photos in this thread, Michelle. Your kitchen is gorgeous! And functional, too. I especially love the pops of turquoise. And I adore your cute puppies. For anyone curious about the details (I was) without switching over to her other thread, here's what Michelle posted in the Building a Home forum: So, the pulls aren't in (hence the ugly green tape), and the backsplash isn't in (it will be marble herringbone), but I'm excited to show off my kitchen. I'm so thrilled with how it turned out! Some details: Perimeter cabinets: Shiloh inset, polar white Perimeter counter: Absolute black granite, leathered Island cabinets:.

Comments (105)So this has nothing to do with reveals but I had to share. A few weeks ago we were discussing our pantries and, I think it was funkycamper, said that when she is sick she basically reverts to a kids diet. I mentioned that I had been sick and I bought some spaghettios and my kids asked what it was as they never seen them before. Well, today my 6 year old had to stay home from school because she was sick and she asked for some of that "sauce with the little round circles you had when you were sick". I still had a can so I warmed it up for her, she took one bite, looked at me and said, "ugh...not good. This doesn't taste good mommy" Is it silly that I was proud? She loves to eat salad and one of her favorite snacks is those mini sweet bell peppers. All I know is 6 year old me would have taken a case of spaghettios before wanting to eat a single bell pepper and my kiddo just told me that the processed stuff was crap and she would rather have veggies. :)...See Morekrogervt
