WOW!!! It is so GORGEOUS!! I love the layout & the bright cheeriness. I hope you enjoy it. Your island is such a nice size too!

Absolutley stunning! Colors are wonderful and the countertops....Oh my!

What a warm and inviting kitchen...wonderful job!

I agree! But what on earth is my dream kitchen doing in your house? Seriously, I have about 1/2 the space, but hope to still end up with a similarly great place to work. Like your "vertical storage turned horizontal."

What a great kitchen! You've kept or given it such a fabulous farmhouse feel. It goes great with the view outside your kitchen window.

Fabo fabo!

I was just about to ask the name of your marble. But then I looked at your list...it's laminate! Wow!

Can you tell us the dimensions of your kitchen?

It looks like you could feed an army in there. Do you feed an army???? It's so beautiful, love the cabinetry, wall color, and counter. Pretty much love it all. That is a lot of plug mold, you could have appliances anywhere you want, what a good idea. Good job on the floor too, was that difficult as a DIY?

Your kitchen is fabulous!! Definitely my dream kitchen...the cabinets, counters, ceilings and floor....all BEAUTIFUL....

Lovely and spacious kitchen. Looks like the kind of place you would want to hang out in all day. I may want to borrow that clever idea of putting the plugmold under the countertop lip. Thanks and enjoy!

Beautiful, spacious kitchen. That is the best faux marble I've seen! I really like your cabinets. And your beadboard ceiling. And your lights. How is having no toekicks working out?

What a lovely kitchen! The white cabinets and trim contrast beautifully with the rich wood floors, and I love the soft green walls. Your kitchen is HUGE, and yet it radiates a soft cozy feeling. Great job!

Love your kitchen! Like everyone else, it's hard to believe the counters are laminate. They are gorgeous. So are the cabinets. I am a white cabinet gal, too. I hope my farmhouse redo looks half as good as yours.

Will you be using more red accents? Love the ones you have, especially that phone. Too cool. I can just see red dinnerware in those glass uppers at holiday time.

Great job! Thanks for sharing your new culinary space with us. : )

Pionite should pay you to shoot an ad in your kitchen. Seriously.

Beautiful work.

Beautiful!
I love how you used beadboard on the ceiling and the sides of the wall cabinets. I also love the trim around your windows and doors. Fits your kitchen perfectly!

I would love to archive your kitchen in the Finished Kitchens blog. May I please have your permission?

Ya'll have put an extra big smile on my face with your delightful descriptions of our kitchen. Thank you. I wish you could all come over for lunch!
Jenswrens, the kitchen is about 18x20 to the end of the island.
natesgramma, No army here! Just the two of us but we sure do plan to make lots of kitchen memories with family and friends. We really do like the plugmold. All the small appliances are stored underneath it. Just pull one out and plug it in, when finished it is easy to put away.
The floor wasn't too bad to do once we got the hang of it. I am pleased with the tung oil finish. Perfect for the farmhouse feel.
Ellen, We have a 3 inch overhang on the countertops to compensate for the lack of toekick area. It is working out fine. No kicks yet!
Angelcub, Ooh, what a good idea on the red dinnerware for the holidays. I'm not sure how much red I will add. I figure I will just let it take shape slowly. At first I found myself wanting to buy everything red but resisted. I like the red but don't want to overdo it. Time will tell. The one thing I am pretty sure I want is a rooster with lots of red on him. Haven't seen one that I want to bring home yet but I'll keep looking.
flyleft, DH agreed with you. I think he is actually going to send Pionite some pictures. We'll see what happens. We sure did use a lot of their product didn't we!

Starpooh,

I'd be honored. Thank you.

Absolutely stunning. I went to the pictures before reading your description and the posts and actually went back to the photos again to look a second time at the counters. Simply beautiful, and just hard to believe they are not marble.

Everything goes so well and it has a great feel. What a successful job. Best wishes for many happy meals in it for many years.

Gorgeous! What sheen, brand and color are you ceilings? Did you prime the boards first (oil or water)? Love them!

Your kitchen is gorgeous! Congratulations!

Beautiful job! Like everyone else I marvel at the countertops. Really like the ceiling, the lighting and that pantry is great. And the Wolf range is gorgeous!

I agree with everyone about your kitchen, MaryLynn. Wow! I pulled some of the photos to show my designer, as I want a "no toe kick" look and they're trying to talk me out of it. Your cabinets are exactly what I'm going for!

I, too, thought for sure your countertops were marble and I was going to ask how you liked the surface and how easy it was to care for. I was shocked (SHOCKED!) when I saw it was laminate. Wowsa!

Beautiful! Congratulations!

what color did you paint your trim? I have white cabinets, but because I've heard of so many complaints about white trim with cleaning all the time, do you have an off-white or ivory color you used? However, I'm worried that one will look dirty if I don't use the exact white color of my cabinets....please help! Thanks!

I love your kitchen. I am in the market for counters that look like marble---your laminate looks great!!
You don't have to tell me the price, but I was blown away when I got a Cesarstone quote of $9000 (my kitchen is not very big). Was the laminate signifiacntly cheaper??
Thanks
