Pictures?

glad to read your testimonial. I like the parts in capital letters.

Looking forward to photos!! (hint, hint)

Ok, here are a couple of pics. They don't show the whole space but most of it. Pickets in the windows are from the decking on the roofgarden. Thanks again for everyone's help.

Picture is way too small. Maybe this one is better.

Do you live in a doll house? ;) Or are the pictures still too small in your Kodak Gallery link?

Hah, pretty funny but no doll house and yes, they are way too small. sorry. I can't figure out how to enlarge them. Will keep working on it but it might be awhile; I'm not a very techy type.

Ok, trying this again. I hope this works!

It looks like it turned out as a really nice kitchen for all of problems you had! that's a good thing anyway. It also looks like the cook will be protected out of the walk way of others... nice area in back there with a chair? got a better pic of it? that looks real cozy - great place for a cup of coffee in the morning.

you did a great job of laying it all out and redoing what sounds like a mess the architect had there. Architects scare me since I've been on this board... KDs too! We've been very blessed on this forum to have good KDs here. so many don't seem to have a clue what they are doing. First thing to ask them is if they cook and have a good functioning kitchen... but, maybe they have no idea what a 'good functioning' kitchen even is.

I'm glad it's over for you and you can now enjoy it all!

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!

Lovely!

Can you tell me more about your backsplash and lighting (pendant over ocuntertop)?

Beautiful kitchen, cakequeen! I love the glass cabinets, wooden pulls and marble island. Perfect choices for an efficient kitchen in a Victorian home!

Thanks for the nice response. Yes, it is a cushy armchair near the window; eventually I might place a banquette there in the corner because it has windows that wrap around the corner and might be a nice place for friends to hang out but for now the armchair is a pleasure.

The tile is VERY cheap ceramic tile in a great color called 'artichoke' by daltile. its 4x4 squares with a light grey grout

The pulls are actually amber colored glass from anthropologie

The pendant over the island is an Italian fixture of 3 curvey pieces of glass nested together. It comes in different sizes and configurations and is called 'logico'. The architect told me it was 'over-used' when I suggested it, though never suggested an alternative. Given the other mistakes I decided that a classic italian light in a modern, etched glass was probably a very nice modern foil in the victorian and she didn't know what she was talking about (she also advised about 50 holes in my ceilings for recessed ceiling lights -down right wrong! Sorry - I guess I'm still holding a grudge! I put in a few, but small and found other ways to add light into the rooms.
I found a similar though not matching wall sconce for the armchair nook that looks great with the pendant.

The cabinets are custom, made by a friend of mine who also did bedoom closets, bookcase and several other pieces of woodwork. We'll get some LED pucks put into the top of the kichen cabs later this summer. He made the shelves of glass so lights will shine through.

I wasn't able to get very good photos up, (husband posted for me) but overall it feels nice, functions well, is cheery with good light and I have lots of space to make food for a party and sit back with a glass of wine right before anyone arrives.

Thanks again for the support and helpful comments throughout the process. I couldn't have done it without you.
