I like it - very nice! Congratulations and thanks for sharing the final result.

I absolutely love the dark green with the natural wood tones! And your view is not too shabby either - pretty! Well done.

love the colors - warm and inviting with tons of natural light, a great combination - enjoy!

SO gorgeous! I’m quite jealous of that deep window sill, too.

Beautiful! Bespoke and full of personality.

I love everything about this, espec especially the marble behind the range. Inspirational!

This is stunning. I absolutely love it.

Soooooo pretty! 😍

Question: Are the open shelves and the window sill made from cut off remnant pieces from the marble that was used on the island and the behind the range backsplash?

i will have more questions I’m sure as I admire all the details.

I wish they were! The fabrication for that cost more than I expected so I just had my contractor buy wood off the shelf from a hardware store cut to size and painted the same off white Ashwood as the island.

Closer up details for those who like that :) Thanks so much for all the super nice comments! I get a lot of tips from here and instagram.

I don’t think I’d say hate on anyone’s post but I guess we all have our own ways of communicating! I did wider v groove instead of traditional beadboard because I think it does look more contemporary, and did an ogee edge on the backsplash to make it a little more traditional. I wanted open shelving there to not block the light from the sink and I do wish I could have done marble or granite. I know some people don’t like the dust but I love grabbing the most used plates and bowls right there.

Also befores if anyone likes to see! It was still a pretty kitchen, I know, before anyone tells me I didnt have to remodel it. It was a brighter green but that’s how I knew I still wanted green with this wood, different layout (on range wall especially), double ovens in the island, and different lighting. Of course we chose different counters, hardware etc.

Gorgeous kitchen! I love the mix and the shape detail on your backsplash. And all the special lighting. The green looks so pretty with the wood. Is that your fridge in the white cabinet?

Thanks Stiley! Yes it is the fridge :)

Nicely done. Enjoy it!

Nice job!

Sorry just the way I talk I think the majority of the space is lovely and I think if you must have the shelving make it the same wood as the rest and a bit thicker shelves . I think what bothers me is the balance on that wall when the other wall is so symmetrical

Love it ... @ Patricia Colwell Consulting just as well It's not your kitchen then .. strangle enough we don't all want cookie cutter symmetrical kitchens !

Kimberly, I posted earlier about your beautiful bespoke kitchen. I just noticed you have a Thermador range. Any issues? We finally got a swap out on our (May delivery) Thermador range yesterday (the original had issues with a burner and the convection oven not working properly) only to have to refuse the delivery because the burners were putting out mostly orange flames! I had the original reinstalled and now the oven doesn't work at all. Frustrating!

The dealer I worked with went out of their way to get this delivery scheduled. It was specially shipped. God only knows how long it will take to get another one. Now, we have no working oven. UGH

We’ve had no issues and this is our second time using thermador in a remodel!

@Patricia Colwell Consulting I dont love everything to be symmetrical plus with the corner it wasn’t very possible, but I do think it will look better when there’s a painting to the left of the sink…I just have to find the right one! I wanted the picture light there and not the sconce but then the cabinet wouldn’t open all the way so I had to swap them! One of a few things I wish I did differently.

The granite and the marble look amazing together. Beautiful! Your kitchen is so unique. Love it!

If anyone who finds this thread is deciding between soapstone and black granite, I did soapstone in my other kitchen.

@Kimberly, what made you choose granite over soapstone this time around?

In the end it was the water marks! But I dont know why I kept getting then since other people dont have that issue.

@Kimberly Skinner Thanks for the reply.

@anna_682 sorry about your range! If it makes you feel better I researched so many brands and every one had someone with a bad story. Sorry it happened to you twice!

@Kimberly Skinner Thanks. I am hoping it gets sorted quickly. Other than the problems, I love cooking on the Thermador range. We have a Thermador dishwasher and Bosch refrigerator. They have both been great.

@ffpalms can I ask a silly quesrion but what would you put in the sill? I love making the kitchen decisions but I’m not great at decorating and even worse when it comes to house plants/gardening.

A window sill herb garden would look lovely in your space. Fresh herbs are great for cooking, salads, etc.

I would use it exactly as you have used it - a potted plant, but also, I think it would come in handy as a shelf to place things when I need more counter space. Whenever I have a gathering, the sink area becomes a hub of activity that can get overcrowded.

I say your kitchen is beautiful and I like the first way you have the kitchen too but I like the second one better cuz it's European like you say and it has a different kind of vibe than the first one and does it have enough lighting sometimes cuz you got the wall by the shelving that doesn't bother me the shelving at all

What a great kitchen! I really like the moody feel of the range wall, and that fabulous marble backsplash + island top. You managed to create such a visually interesting space, with your mix of materials and great colors, while keeping the open feel, and unobstructed sight lines out to your amazing views. In these pics, your cabinet colors look like perfect complements to your exterior setting. Love the sconces, they seem to anchor the mood, too. Such a nice way to have your big fridge and freezer columns without overwhelming the other spaces. Congratulations on a beautiful result, and thanks for sharing the pics.

Beautiful kitchen!!! and what the hell is with one responder above?! This forum is becoming less and less useful.

Haha I like seeing what people like or would have done differently, but some tact is always nice! I‘m with you, I personally only share constructive feedback for those who are still planning and haven’t done it yet, or those who specifically say I want to fix something about this I dont like.

I love moody kitchens! Yours is a new favorite of mine. Great eye for details!

@Maureen love those photos for inspiration! You totally get the style I was going for. And yes the details drive you crazy, from the 20 different crowns they offer, how to trim around the peninsula and island, whether to keep the counters thin, I did 4 types of hardware, it’s always a lot! I did the rest of my house too (2.5 baths, paint) at the same time, it was decision overload!!

It's anything but cookie cutter!

I like the ceiling.

Oh, I love your kitchen! Wow! Gorgeous. Besides being so beautiful, it has such a warm, cozy, inviting, collected feel. Reminds me of one of my favorite designers, Heidi Caillier, who is genius at designing brand new kitchens that look wonderfully antique/vintage and full of character. Yours has that very charming vibe.

Fantastic job, excellent choices. It looks like a happy place and I’ll bet you smile every time you go in there. :)

Love Maureen’s art advice, too.

Thank you for sharing! Will be saved as inspiration for many, I’m sure.

Thank you! shes a favorite of mine too. Also love gpschafer, beccainteriors, jessica helgerson, amber interiors, park and oak, so so many.

Love it! Looking at a dark green myself..how diffificult was it to mind that marble?

Go for the green! Not difficult to find white marble with dark veining but very difficult at my price range and to find the exact veining I wanted. Calcutta black was too expensive and I wanted very dark and not too close together. I found this one and was so happy and then they cut the backsplash on the wrong part of the slab by accident!! The left 1.5 feet of it was not supposed to be used, and that’s the one type of mistake that cannot be fixed. Oh well, I’m still happy with it but at the time boy was I upset (see slab and approved template below. Just shows every project has its problems.

I also used enhancing sealer which made the veins darker. Sorry probably way more info than you asked for haha.

Kimberly you will love the Etsy.com art sight!

I did these in my kitchen

Thank you! Awesome recommendation! I’m way over budget to get a real oil painting but I bet these look beautuful printed on canvas

Yes they are gorgeous on canvas and can’t beat the price..great shop owner too!..these two our in my foyer..they are on canvas…and here are the others in my kitchen..for now just framed with store bought frames..on the hunt for some antique frames with a bit more personality.

I love your kitchen, especially that green color; it’s really lovely and you clearly put much thought into the details. I have the same DeVol pendant over my kitchen table, and I’m so happy with it!

For art, I’ve had good luck finding small vintage framed oil, watercolor paintings and photographs (for not much money, I believe they were all $40 or less) at local flea markets (if you’re in the Bay Area, the monthly Alameda Flea is worth a visit or ten), yard sales, and online on eBay, etsy and Instagram. It takes a while to collect just the right vintage pieces.

A few vintage ceramic pieces would be nice, too. Clearly you have a good eye, so I think whatever pieces you really love will come together nicely.

Thanks @chinacatpeekin! I was in the Bay Area for my last remodel, now I’m in CT and while there are lots of antique shops, no fairs that I know of. I have to make time to peruse the shops. Apparently there are lots of estate sales too, my friend just taught me about auctionninja.com and wow some of the art is beautiful!

Gorgeous
