Moving, so figured I would share my latest kitchen remodel. Some of you might recognize my island which has traveled through every kitchen with me. You can sit at the island and see the Empire State Building in the distance.
I’ll try to find before photos.

Comments (11)get rid of the door. or reverse the swing so it's on the outside. no to 'no oven'. people want ovens! no to the 15" cabs. you might as well put shelving. If you move fridge across(have no idea what it will look like because I can't see anything), that would leave u room for a DW, if you really need it. look into prefab granite countertops. they run about 400 for a 9' counter. hire a fabricator to cut it for you. Do your own subway backsplash. look on craigslist for a ss stove. look for floor models, slightly damaged or lightly used. Also look on there for countertops. sometimes people redo their kitchens and unload their counters. Look for remnants and leftover tile. great deals. I can't see what's over the sink so do your shelving there, and next to it if you move the fridge....See MoreComplete Kitchen Remodel for Resale Due to Water Damage
Comments (17)Agree with the above. While I personally think espresso cabinets would be pretty, white will appeal to the most buyers. And please don’t do one color upper and one color lower cabinets (which you didn’t say but someone above suggested). While that may be a trend there are many people who would be turned off but it. Since you know you are selling I would go for the most basic, bright, pretty kitchen that appeals to the most people. As others said, let the buyer pick their own backsplash. A painted backsplash is fine. You could even give a backsplash allowance if you wanted. Pergo flooring would be a turnoff for many in my area too. Most of the houses that sell quickly for the most money here either have hardwood throughout or hardwood in the main living areas and tile in the kitchen, but that may be very market dependent. If you look at recently sold and under contract houses in your area you can get a fee if laminent is the norm or not....See MoreHelp with kitchen complete kitchen remodel plan
Comments (8)Thanks. We do spend a lot of time in the family room. That was my first thought actually of opening that wall. The initial problem with that wall between the family room and the kitchen is that it is a load bearing wall. The living room we use as more of a formal sitting room if we have friends over. My wife also has her desk there. My wife has also thought about making the living room the dining room. Personally I think that is a waste of space but am open to being convinced otherwise. My wife and I would like to have more of an open floor plan. Thus thinking of combining the kitchen and dining room into one room. We eat 99% of our meals at the dining room table, so the table would have to fit into the larger kitchen design concept. I would like to incorporate kitchen and eating together. To me the difficult part is all the doors in the kitchen... the sliding doors to outside, the family room door, hall door and basement door....See MoreKitchen remodel almost complete!

Comments (0)Looking for some ideas for wall colors for our kitchen/dining space. Our kitchen is nearly finished - we will have provenza road trip LVP (attaching a photo of that for reference.) I love color and I love neutrals as well. I love all things mid century / west elm. The faucet will be brass. Attaching some photos from tonight and one from during the day so you can see the true color of the island....See More

good to read you again. I haven’t been on here in years either!
the backsplash in my butlers pantry is just gold leaf right on the Sheetrock. I painted the wall black, brushed on sizing, then applied the squares. after I put all the squares up, I scuffed it up in a few spots, then went over the top with a brown polyurethane stain and seal to age it up. Then we trimmed it in shoe molding. DH seriously doubted this was going to turn out. But everyone who sees it likes it. Here’s a better picture:
