Beautiful! I love the color choices, the cabinetry work is gorgeous . . . reading thru your blog makes me tired, and we are in early planning stages.

And do I see Daltile Cobblestone 3114 on your floor? My same choice from tile installed 4 years ago. Be thankful you had extra tile. It's discontinued - - I gave 5 boxes to Habitat for Humanity, kept 2. Now I wish I had hung on to all of it . . .

Great job!

Wow! Your kitchen is really coming along. Your cabinetry is gorgeous! Can't wait to see the big reveal. I'm completely jealous of your window. We should have installed ours to the counter, too.

Thanks for your kind comments.

rjr220 - you have a good eye (and good taste) for tile. We had about a box and a half left from our original install about 5 years ago. And, we were lucky to have not needed more. I was able to find some odds and ends on the internet but didn't need to purchase any. I wonder whether it would be prudent just in case ... ?

laxsupermom - we debated (for months) about leaving the original window alone, to lower it, to go with a garden window, to lower the garden window. Besides more daylight, the lowered window lets my some what height-challenged wife see our backyard pond without standing on tippy-toes.

Great work, and I love that you're already doing some major baking! It looks great now, can't wait to see it all finished!

Fabulous! I am very partial to your colors and your layout is almost exactly how ours will be. I bookmarked your blog (I hope that is ok) to show my DH.

Wow, that is one gorgeous kitchen. Those cabinets are stunning. Love that window area behind sink. Fabulous!!

Your kitchen is very, very nice. Great color choices. I admire you for documenting your progress in a Blog! I wouldn't have the energy :)

ptyles - of course feel free to bookmark.

Great new kitchen, it's so sleek and sophisticated looking. We need to see more pictures though! I like how you did the garden window, it will be the perfect spot for small pots of herbs.
