Thanks - they are making good progress

How exciting!! Can I ask for specifics on the floor? What brand and color?? I really like it! :)

That pink ceiling fan is going to look great with this!

yes, i was going to ask that too. we are doing a very similar-looking floor in our project.

thanks. the tile is from Daltile - reasonably priced. Its Terra Antica - Oro

LOL - yes teched - the pink ceiling fan will look great :)

Here is a link that might be useful: terra Antica

wow, I thought the floor was travertine!

Laurie - yes, its very natural looking (mimicing much more expensive natural stone) even though its porcelain tile. We had tiles from Daltile installed in several areas of the house when we built it 17 years ago and have been very pleased with how they held up (look as good as the day we moved in). So when we did the kitchen remodel and decided to replace the floor, we naturally looked at Dal-Tile first - saw this product in the local showroom and really liked it. Plus the price was right as well.

It's looking GREAT!

I was just going to ask about that cabinet (in picture #2 above). Interesting idea. I know yours will be at the ends of the L; how do you think it would look if you had all cherry and then that contrasting cabinet in the middle for the sink?
See, I'm re-using my cabinets (stained espresso), but in a different L-layout. I will get new/contrasting cabinets (like cream) for the new island, but I need a new big sink base (at one leg of the L), and so I had the thought of doing a cream/different cabinet for the sink base.
How weird would that look?
Thanks for your thoughts.

"We are also having two cabinets - of a different door style and painted / distressed made to look like antique hutches - that will be at either end of the L. In one of these, we will hide our microwave behind a regular door that can flip up and hide away. Both will come down to the counter - and will be used to hide some of the things that over the years migrated to sitting on the counter (so we can cut down on visible clutter). The rest of the new cabinets will be cherry."

Looks good! Great progress for one week!

Thanks.

Huango - Its hard to tell without seeing a picture, but depending on how you complemented the cabinet door style between what you have now and the cream sink base, it may work out fine - especially since it will match your new island. I would perhaps consider bumping the sink base out a few inches and / or having some decorative trim / posts on the side of the sink base To play it up).

They have the rest of the wall cabinets in and we love the contrast and they look great together. But one thing we did to help the integration was purposely go with a more distressed / older look on the cream cabinets. We also repainted our window / door / baseboard trim in the kitchen the same cream color (we didn't want a third shade of wood) and it really pulls it all together

Berryberry - it is looking absolutely gorgeous! I look forward to seeing the progress! Congrats!
