- mudroom flooring is Armstrong Alterna vinyl tile in I believe light mesa gray - I love this stuff. looks awesome and a breeze to clean up

i think/hope that covers it ;)

Wow, that looks so well thought-out and pretty, too!

Sure you don't miss those exposed pipes on the wall? (!)

Double Wow! It is stunning. I can't decide which part of it I like the most. But I definitely want to give a shout out to your pantry and those gorgeous doors. I also love the cabinetry and how it beautifully all ties together.

Absolutely beautiful! You coordinated a lot of different colors and finishes and made it just lovely, that's amazing. Thank you for sharing the pictures and information!

Looks amazing. Thanks for sharing the details. I have a question on your stack of ovens. We are looking at doing something similar with a subzero oven / steam oven and then a shelf for a microwave above. How tall are the three ovens together? I'm 5'4 so trying to decide if I will still get the benefit of a wall unit and handle the microwave being on the top of the stack.

thanks, guys. yes, CRL, it was/is a lot of different "stuff" and i still second guess at times whether it all works. but overall, i am so happy with the space, the light and each of the individual components. anyway, thank you again for the kind comments. ;)

i'm actually not home right now, foolnt8. but i can measure for you tomorrow. it's fine for me but i'm 5'9". however, our au pair is i think 5'6" and she navigates the micro just fine. but i'll measure tomorrow

Stunning!

Holy Cr!!. That is beautiful. I don't know where to start. I have never enlarged every single photo on a reveal until now - that should tell you something.

The island colour and design, the backsplash and the counter just flow into one another and I love the way that you took the colour of the island and carried it into the cabinetry in the dining area. Just genius. It makes it one cohesive space. The function of the space must be an absolute joy to work in and the light from the windows is so nice.

The barn doors are so cool and then the wood floors just warms it all up. I want to see it in real life.

Wow! This is a stunning update. Love the sea pearl quartzite - so pretty. Awesome job of coordinating different finishes into a cohesive, elegant look. The pantry is brilliant!

Very thoughtful and cohesive. And gorgeous! Great job with a difficult space.

Imgch, you know I have been eagerly waiting for this reveal!!! It is beyond beautiful....etc...etc... I love the island color so much.

I know you went thru a nightmare of problems. The hood, the backsplash, the pendant lights, and much more. I just want to reassure you, now that everything is in place, I see nothing but perfection. You did good girl!

lmgch - I think you made my morning:) Have coffee, poppy seed bagel, and now your fabulous kitchen to study. *<happy sigh>*

Your mudroom cabinetry is incredible - love the color and the design. Love your countertops! The strong contrasts between light and dark, tied in with your warm floor, are so visually satisfying. Smiling over the giant TV for the chef and prep team :) All that saving and waiting (and planning) has paid off - terrific job transforming a very difficult space.

thanks so much, guys. your kind words made my morning! i do particularly enjoy sunday mornings now because we extended our sonos system into the space so we can now eat sunday bagels and listen to the acoustic sunrise sunday morning show ;)

there are definitely things i wish were different and i knew that going into final install, but i had to make choices. like the space between the island seating and the little cabinet. i could have nixed that cabinet, but i love having it - we each have our own charging cubbie, which is very helpful for the kids knowing where to put their devices. no more "where's my xxxx!!!"

and i have cookbooks at the bottom. we pretty much never use the island seating anyway. only when we have people over and they perch there. plus, there's another entrance to the kitchen from the family room, so when people are sitting at the island, i've noticed others just naturally re-route and pass by through the other doorway.

things i particularly love and give credit to GW for:
- tapmasters - on the main and prep sinks
- that roll up drain board thing - it rocks!!
- the quartzite and testing the heck out of it before installing
- the brilliant alcohol/water/lavender solution we use to clean
- lighting - i definitely feel like i have sufficient light now because i pushed for it
- the trevi knobs and pulls - i saw them here on a reveal and fell in love and found them in person to confirm the love
- changing my hood design...pushing that to happen
- going for the flush fridge install - wiser folks then me suggested that would be best
- pushing to have the window above the sink moved so that it centered, despite the "extra work" required

- forgot the mention that the vinyl flooring that i put in the mudroom and laundry room are also a find from here ;)

i'm sure there's so much more, but it will come to me gradually

i will also continue to update the details info as i remember to include. i'll go add floor info now

the oven stack:
very top is 71" off the floor
top of the keypad options for the micro is 66" up
bottom of the micro is 56.5" up

Impressive! I especially like the countertops and that prep sink and its backsplash!

Roll up drain board??? Neat idea, bookmarking that!

Beautiful! I love it all. Your backsplash is gorgeous, the barn doors in front of your pantry are lovely, your counters, wow!

It's wonderful.

I used to call my basement growing up the spider hole.

beautiful! Nicely done.

Absolutely gorgeous! I am curious about which Sonos speaker you have in the kitchen and where did you place it? I have a Play 1 speaker in my kitchen now on top of a hutch where it can't be seen but I'd love to have created a special place for it in my kitchen re-do.

So beautiful! Love the Sea Pearl, the backsplash, the barn doors, the entire color scheme. All works together so nicely....lovely, charming, & classy. Great job!

So many things to admire. The island, the pendants, the barn doors, the pantry itself, the mudroom cabinetry and colors. Sublime! Great choices.

Thanks for the kind feedback! zwizzle, we have in-ceiling speakers - not really sure of the model. the guy that did our TV stuff put them in. i can ask, if you like?

Imgch - what a treat to see your reveal! Yours is one that many of us followed. I remember when you posted color choices for your island & desk area. The silver pine/black glaze is beautiful. I love all your choices. That gorgeous Sea Pearl pulls everything together. The backsplash - LOVE it! Also, the mudroom cabinetry. I knew your kitchen would be a favorite. Congrats!

Holy moly! I can't even wrap my head around this! LOL What a change! I bet you're happiest about the laundry being moved upstairs; at least I would be. And I can totally see kids doing homework at that table and getting snacks from the area there rather than annoying you while you're getting dinner ready. Perfect! It's absolutely lovely. :)

@imgch. Beautiful kitchen! I am located not far you and am wondering who you used to make your cabinets (I am assuming they are full custom as you used BM paint colors).

again, thank you guys. it really is a pleasure to be in here. @mgmum - you're right - i LOVE my laundry room. it's small and chock full of function. i said that to my DH...how awesome it is and he was floored that after all the time, money and angst...i am in love with a small little laundry room. but it's true! not one inch in that room is wasted space, it functions beautifully and i love it!

@malba, alas I cannot recommend my cabinet company. if you search old threads of mine, you will read of the torture they put us through. they turned out lovely...in the end (yes, they are a custom shop). but if i knew what we would go through to get here, i would have made a different decision in a heartbeat.

i hate to potentially ruin business for people - this is a family-run business and i don't think they are *bad* people. but i do think they are very, very bad business people. have horrific customer service skills. and worse, they don't admit when they've done wrong by a customer - a simple, "i'm very sorry for all we've put you through. mea culpa, we treated you poorly" would have gone a long way.

Really lovely. That backsplash is something else. And we have the same Waterstone faucet, which I also fell in love with after reading about it here.

This is wonderful! I love everything about it.

You nailed it ... the kitchen matches the dog perfectly! ;-)

Sounds like you had plenty of headaches along the way, but it came out great and I hope your family enjoys it for many years.

Zowie! That is one amazing kitchen!

I love everything about it!

It is really stunning!

Does the MW side open? My stack is 68.5 inches but the speed oven is a standard open door. I am 5'7" and OK for me but would not want it any higher

I must have missed this one. Looks super functional. All that storage in your dining room is nothing short of awesome. It's a real beauty.

Thanks so much. a2, yes it side opens. I desperately wanted to get the speed oven instead of the MW and tried to convince myself. I went to the appliance showroom with tape measure in hand and was able to piece together a mockup so I could try opening the downward facing door of the speed oven at the height I would have putting it based on the other two ovens underneath. I could have done it, but it would have been super risky and my DH convinced me to skip it for safety reasons.

You made a good choice. My KD said 68 was max and she was right. Height challenged folks would have difficulty even in my kitchen.

Enjoy!
