Updated kitchen reveal
5 years ago
I wanted to share our kitchen since I had used this site for questions and many of you helped me out. I am really happy with the kitchen and it works for us. Some people had said I would not be able to fit an island in here, but we can actually have lots of people working in the kitchen at the same time. So for those that are frustrated with some comments, I suggest ignoring them and going with your gut. This kitchen was designed specifically with our needs in mind. Still working on the dining table area and decor.

Comments (102)Sorry! It didn't send me any notice that the kitchen had been commented on so I didn't see the questions until I went to show someone the pics of my kitchen! Hopefully these answers aren't too late to help. Carynia, after much agita, I went with Antique white by polyblend (at home depot). I have it listed in the below posting. I see there that I made the comment that I could've went darker on the grout, however, I barely even remember that sentiment, so the color is just fine. http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/2439662/kitchen-reveal-almost-completed-not-staged-kitchen-need-tile-help AvatarWalt, I would totally put in that linoleum! There are so many benefits to linoleum that I'm sure you already know. If the wood floor had been in terrible shape, that would've been my first choice, especially since it would be appropriate for the age of the house. bobcatralph, that magazine was "IT". After looking for over a year for inspiration I had at least a hundred magazines and books (that I just gave away). So many were beautiful, but I just kept coming back to that magazine. I could choose between any Sherwin Williams paint color that I wanted for the cabinets, and in the end I tried to get the one that would be closest to that magazine (taking into consideration the lighting in my kitchen). I'm pretty sure I'll always keep that magazine (and a few others that gave me great ideas). Ps... another favorite color that I almost went with was Aleutian.... once I decided against white, it was very hard to choose between the two, but I'm sure I couldn't be happier than I am with the color I chose. Thank you everyone for your kind words!...See MoreGray and white kitchen - update to last year's reveal
Comments (5)I think it looks great...and so does the cat. Of course, he's on the countertop - that's where the action is. Mine were always too finicky to eat what I was preparing but wanted to be there anyway. Yes, I know...the health dept......See MoreBathroom Update/Reveal
Comments (38)Great idea Roarah! Thank you gsciencechick, peppadoodle and lizzierobin. I do really love the medicine cabinets and vanities. so much storage! I picked out a couple of pictures for over the toilet (from boxes in the basement). DH is painting the ceiling today. he replaced the light in the shower and over the tub and ceiling was not painted under the old lights :( so he is painting it the same color as the walls. We went to another granite place this weekend but they were even less helpful than the first place so I think DH is going to go back to the first place today and get a soapstone threshold/saddle for the shower and the door. then we will be one step closer to using the shower :)...See MoreRelated Professionals

This was our original kitchen. It was a galley. We added square footage. I had several posts, maybe you can click on my profile and see posts. I’ll also try to see if I can post a link.

@ salonva we went with a marine black leathered soapstone counters for perimeter white cabinets and a leathered Calacatta Vagli for the wood stained island. Not installed yet but I have pics of our selections.
