WOW! Is that really the same house? May I ask without being rude what the ball park cost of the reno was?

Roughly $50,000 to $55,000

George...what a fabulous job! Kudos to you!

Did you hire professional designers and contractors or was this a DIY? Great look, really like the results! Oh, and a hint as to your geographic location...The cost factor has been a topic of many posts recently and adding a bit of information to my brain data bank can help in future discussions.

That is an amazing result for that budget. I thought you spent much more.

Was hoping you would post the kitchen after seeing the adjoining room. This looks great as well!

i have just posted the images of the the adjoining room. Thanks for the nice comments.

The house is in Ponte Vedra Beach Florida. I am a retired retail store and bank branch designer so I took a shot at it.

Thank you very much. We are very happy with how it turned out

Great job opening up the space and making the kitchen relevant again!

Thank you

Awesome renovation - your home is stunning!!

Thank you

The Kitchen was about $50,000 to $55,000. The entire house, inside and out was about $160,000.

This is actually such a beautiful kitchen!

Stunning!!

absolutely beautiful!!! i had to look at both pics several times to make sure it was the same home!! LOL what a big difference that made.

Wow......speechless in Utah.

The before looks a lot like my home and I have wanted to move the "wall" however it is a supporting wall in a two story home. I am going to keep looking for options.

omg...this is exciting especially since the before pic is the same as looking at my kitchen with the exception of the wall oven. I have been wanting to update it but just have not had the money and still don't now that I am unemployed. I had envisioned an island but not turned in the same direction in the after picture - this will work - love it!

Very nice. The stain has a very "rich" look to it. Nice layout. Well done!

Those spaceship ceiling things are all over in the area I live in. So strange. Your "after" is just gorgeous.

Absolutely stunning! Great choices all around on color, layout, appliances, etc... love the fixture over the island. Can you tell me the brand or where you found it? Thanks!

Its very nice but living in Fl I would prefer lighter color cabinest. I am thinking of kitchen remodel but the 50-55K is scaring me!

The fixture over the island is from a company called Hubbardton Forge

I don't care for it. I don't like black for anything more than an accent, and I don't like the arrangement. Being more open is nice.

I like everything about it with one exception. Having the refrigerator in back of the sink. But you are retired so I'm sure this is less of an issue than it would be in a busy large family. Very tasteful selections.

Love the open feel and the new lighting.

Thank you. We really love the open felling

Can u put up some more pictures? I am curious where the main sink is? I may be tearing down a wall and it is similar in design. :)

I will. I can post them tomorrow

Wow! What a transformation. Looks fantastic.

Kitchen looks great. It was nice before too.

George Just Gorgeous and love the selection of colors and arrangment. KimCooper...........that is not black, but Expresso a very rich look!

Holy cow! Awesome!

That is some serious BANG for the $....bravo!

Beautiful space! You did a wonderful job and I'm happy to see this result in the price range you mentioned. Keeping the general configuration the same and just removing non structural walls gives you a lot of look for the money.

Talk about dramatic, you've changed how that whole space functions. You executed your vision beautifully.

Beautiful Job! It is definitely not stuck in the 90's anymore!

Than you for the nice comments. We really love it
