It is difficult to put your finger on one style with so many great options for kitchens. If you had to describe your own style in one word or phrase what would it be... traditional? funky? modern? rustic? sophisticated? casual? elegant? vintage? eclectic? Start with the feel or vibe you want your kitchen to have and build off that one idea. You may not nail down all your choices immediately, but it will focus you in the right direction and certainly help you eliminate the options that don't fit your style. If you are a modern, clean lines kinda gal, then a farmhouse sink with a vintage faucet is not for you. Yes, this may be a gorgeous look that you love when you see it in pictures. But, will it be a gorgeous look in your house? I have found this approach helps in making a kitchen remodel go from overwhelming to doable. Good luck and have fun!

This kitchen renovation involved opening up the floor plan of a Virginia Beach condo to allow for better natural lighting and traffic flow, while enlarging the feel of the space. The client felt the kitchen was not very functional or well-designed (i.e. the sink was on an interior wall rather than by the window overlooking the bay). And as a Scandinavian, she was looking for cabinets to complement her heritage, with sleek lighting and appliances to accent the minimal design. (Selection details below.) Tearing out the wall separating the kitchen and living area opened and brightened the space. After removing the box-like walls in the center of the condo, this area now transitions smoothly from the entrance and offices in the back to the kitchen and living area overlooking the water in the front. The doorway to the Dining Room was shifted to maximize cabinet space, and arched to minimize disruption of view and lighting. The client chose Azul Aran Granite and all Bosch appliances except for a Thermador microwave drawer. The back splash is 3 x 12 rain glass silver tile laid on a staggered joint pattern with Silverado grout. The kitchen paint color is Sherwin Williams Silver Plate (SW7649). The flooring is Columbia Cascade Click Laminate, color: Evening Mist (discontinued). Cabinets are Ultracraft Vision Roma Honey Maple with Eurotek Finish.

We love it! You've done a beautiful job with the renovation!

Interesting question. I can't say I have, but I have occasionally entirely lost track of the plot while examining the details of sets. Don't ask me which sets.
