And the prize for the most needed before and after goes to #7, the kitchen from India. If ever you're feeling sorry for yourself because you don't have a fancy, schmancy range, check out the hot plate with propane tank!

It looks fun.

I just found your beautiful kitchen while doing a search for pulls/knobs and I LOVE it! I just yesterday changed my island top from a quartzite called Luce de Luna to a marble called "Vermont Danby Marble", which is quarried in VT. The claim made by my stone distributor's postcard says it is "approved and ideally suited for kitchen countertops providing a clean, beautiful alternative to granite." "This marble is less absorbent and more dense than most granites." I think you must have the same marble on your perimeter. Now that you've lived through the holidays with your new kitchen, do you have any comment as to the durability of your countertops? Any regrets? Would you recommend it highly? I'd love to get some comfort buying a known no-no, marble, for my kitchen island counter. (We'll be templating in 2 weeks.) Thanks!

It is Cambria “Highgate” quartz (part of their newly released collection). The island is a 2 1/2 inch mitered edge and the perimeter is a 1 1/2 inch mitered edge. I really like the countertops. We took a chance because nobody had slabs in stock of this style since it was so new. Cambria sent me a 12x12 piece of slab and we decided based on that. We looked at about 6 different styles.

Beautiful! What a difference the lighter finishes make to the openness of your space. I've always been partial to white kitchens. We are almost done our kitchen reno and I can't wait! Congratulations to you on your lovely new kitchen :)

Very pretty. I am glad you left the soffits open, rather than cabinets to the ceiling, that no one can reach anyway. Very nice job. I hope you enjoy every minute you spend in it.

Looks awesome! I'm at the tail end of a very similar kitchen renovation. We removed soffits and got new cabinets but kept the same layout. Put in white cabinets and a similar granite counter. Will post before and after pics once the backsplash is in! It feels great, doesn't it?!? Did you paint your existing cabinets?

Great job! My kitchen has a very similar layout and we’re about to reface the cabinets and get quartz counters and a new backsplash. Our island is a similar size as yours and cant decide between 2 recessed lights above, 2 pendants, or just one. Houzz folks keep suggesting getting the same one fixture above island as kitchen table but have no idea what type of fixture would work in other places. Are you happy with your choice of pendants?

Hi Pensivern, how exciting!!! So we did recessed lights in rest of kitchen also but over the island I love having the pendants. Our island is a floating island ( I can push it into another room when I have lots of company) so I had to find pendants that were on a flexible wire that could be raised up for those occasions so they work great for us! I love the look of pendants over an island also... Good luck to you! :)

Alyssa, What color white was used on your cabinets. My first choice was SW Alabaster but think SW pure white is a better choice for my countertop choice ( Viaterra quartz- Karis). My lower cabinets and island will be SW aloof grey- pray it all looks good together!!

Amazing, what paint, crown molding, trim etc. can do. Nice to see you painted existing cabinets that were in good shape. With the addition of the crown molding at the top and the side panel update on the island, no one would think they were the same cabinets. Smart use of money. Enjoy your kitchen

Thanks everyone! We are really happy with how it all turned out
Pensivern, we used SW snowbound..we found that SW alabaster looked too yellow in our house? We had a hard time deciding between snowbound and the SW pure white..tbh I loved them both! So I think you will be happy with the SW pure white for sure! It's so hard to pick...but I learned it's all about the lighting in your house..I think it will all come together just fine for you! Can't wait to see pics!

Bikertoni, thanks so much!!! :) Quite honestly we felt like it would have been a waste of money to get new cabinets when all that was wrong with ours was the color...now we can go on a nice vacation instead..Haha!
