Beautiful! What a transformation.

Awesome!!! Very rich,classy!! Great job. Such warmth. And I agree that picture is beautiful.

And this is the first time I posted a comment. Great job.

Well, I am glad that it made such an impression on you jimb28. I feel honored! Thank you-

I would really like to see lots more pictures and details about the entire process!

Elegant and rich-looking. The white island proves a nice contrast to the dark perimeter and keeps it bright. The view out the window looks like artwork!! This is outstanding.

WOW! What a great improvement!

Definitely a wow! I never could have envisioned such a change. What a gorgeous kitchen

I love the warm colors. It's very elegant. I'm so tired of sterile, hospital white kitchens!!!!!

Really love the lighting choices, they add a lot to a cohesive look. Nice job.

Stunning. Have a completely different layout, but, the dark wood with the bright island makes the area so appealing. I just got some great ideas for my remodel

Looks really great. It the rest of the house updated ? If not I'm sure it will need to be in order to transition smoothly from room to room. Congratulations!!!

Great job what color are the dark cabinets

Awesome kitchen!

one of a few transitions I really like

What was the cost? It's beautiful!

Is it the same doors?

Wow. The transformation is inconceivable, except that you conceived it. The owners must be so happy.

Wow, trying to convince hubby to redo ours xxxxx

Great job! While I love the look of the natural ledge stone, putting it behind the range is probably not the best idea. Cleaning grease from cooking will be a real pain.

The best I've seen on here in a long, long time. Very nice work!

jaw-dropping! congratulations!

The beautiful picture window over the sink seems like another piece of art. I love the entire kitchen, I can not recognize the original in the after photos.

There are very few kitchens that make me say, "Wow". This one is "WOW"!! What an awesome transformation with such a beautiful result. And being kind of a lone voice in the wilderness--I don't care for white kitchens--I'm doubly impressed! So well done. I'm repeating myself, which says something about how well I like it!
PS: I rarely post in discussions either.

Hi Sharon Nemeth, the ledgestone is completely sealed and regular to be cleaned like natural stone. Tammie Ellerbee, the doors are all new. Picabo 1952, I custom mixed the stain color. Jared Lewis Construction: We did also remodel the rest of the main level in conjunction with the kitchen.

Absolutely stunning..........these are my color choices for my kitchen when it finally gets transformed. So glad not to see WHITE!

Gorgeous! And I am pleased to see a kitchen that isn't blindingly white. This is beautiful.

Amazing transformation

Great job! Looks wonderful.

It is beautiful ..... would love to have a kitchen like this one ..... wow

@Bajachim I needed to cut costs and found fabulous solid maple (could have chosen solid cherry) cabinets with roll out trays, Blum hardware, dove-tail joints, etc. through KitchenResourcesDirect.com. I spent less than $12,000 on what was quoted as over $30,000 for my house by a custom cabinet maker.

I am amazed at how the banquet was incorporated into your island. It is just gorgeous! Thanks for the birds-eye view! Wow!

$65 to $85K....for a KITCHEN......I live outside Buffalo, NY (the 3rd largest city in NY) where the average price of an entire HOUSE is $190K (4 bed, 2.5 bath Colonials with central air built in the 70's)

Yes Katie, it is all relevant to the home's value and the region that you live in. The "average" kitchen remodel in the Twin Cities area is $63K plus for a mid-range home. This home was above that and the project was more inclusive. The Cost vs. Value report is a good reference for any homeowners looking to research this information in more detail: https://s3.amazonaws.com/HW_Assets/CVV_Assets/2014/Professional/minneapolismn.pdf

Nice Work!

Katie Miodonski, 1973, we built a house for $38 k and 11k for the land, the empty lot next store to us someone has built this year 2014, a house the same sq footage and same size lot, $530,000! Do you think they over paid for the suburb south of Boston, Ma?

moggiesmom.....we have an over-sized ranch...3 BR, 1 BA on main floor and inlaw apt. w/ 3/4 bath downstairs ( daylight basement )...plus 2 car garage, 15 x 24 carport, 15 x 15 sunroom, 10 x 15 "utility" shed, deck, etc. etc....on 1 acre of land in "upscale" development of Augusta, ME convenient to EVERYTHING.....$175,000............move this whole shebang down to Lynnfield, MA ( suburb North of Boston ) and exact same would run $600,000 to $750,000....I know, because hubby's parents lived in Lynnfield ( and we in Saugus ).....it's a matter of "majority rules"....majority of Maine is "depressed" economically, and would be a state of "ghost towns" if prices were as high as in MA....there's very little employment, lots of low-paying jobs, except for health care industry....hold a yard sale and try to sell an item ( that retails for $20 ) at half price of $10 and they want it for $3...seriously.

AnAita Nazeri, there is no question, but the Moral is "If you can afford the expensive things in life, buy what you want, if you can't afford the BEST, buy what you feel comfortable purchasing" Want and need are two different things, and to each his own.

Nice

I am beyond impressed. WOW!

Amazing, job well done!

I cannot add anything more than all the praise already mentioned!
Didn't have time to read it all, but... that painting is divine!!!

So nice!!

Shazam!

me like a lot!!! very beautiful & cozy looking

Very nice design. Could you share overall dimensions of the room, particularly the width? Thank you.

The room measures 13'6" x 22'6".

Beautiful remodel!!!

Is this the same room? Simply amazing, congrats !

It is absolutely the same room, just a slightly different angle. We actually didn't move any walls either, just took advantage of the full length of the room, which was previously divided by the peninsula.

Unbelievable Devane, really good job!
