That is JUST GORGEOUS!! Thanks for posting so many pictures.

I would love more details on your backsplash, if you can....

erin, you did an incredible job. I love all of the earth tones and how well they flow together. And that little guy in the background is sure a cutie also! Congratulations on a gorgeous kitchen!

Thanks for your kind comments! Here are a couple of close-ups of my backsplash. Unfortunately, they came from a distributor (http://www.elegantflooring.ca/). The manufacturer may be Sanchis Azulejos - but I can't find the tile on their website. Here is another pic:

The backsplash is just the right finishing touch!

Your new kitchen is gorgeous, congratulations on an excellent job!

Lovely! So happy to see someone else who chose darker cabinetry. And I'm so jealous that you can seat four at your island! I hope you enjoy your beautiful new kitchen in health and peace.

Nice contrast! everything looks really good. The accent glass mosaic is a great touch. the flooring works to highlight the cabs...

Love the attention to detail! Looks great!

You've got every reason to be proud about this lovely kitchen!

lovely....beautiful room with a view...

Very, very pretty. Love your backsplash and the accent tiles. Great look. Of course I love your counter as it's the same that I am getting!! Congratulations, it's beautiful.

You have brought all the elements together so nicely. The colors are wonderful, and what a great sociable island. Happy cooking!

Beautiful rich color on the cabinets. The inset tile on your backsplash is really special and ties everything together. Congratulations on your new kitchen!

That is a really good job of designing and putting it all together. It really flows well aesthetically.

Beautiful kitchen! (And very cute kid, too.)

I agree with pharaoh - I like the contrast : ) Everything looks great with each other.
Nice hardware, too. Don't forget to post what hardware you used.

Really, really pretty kitchen! I love the richness of your cabs. What a beautiful color! I also love the contrast with the counters. Just lovely. Great job!

Your kitchen is awesome! And the kids are really cute too!

Thanks for so many nice complements! Thanks Laurie_2008, I forgot to mention my hardware, it is Amerock brand, from the Mulholland Collection in satin nickel.

We are loving the transformation - we were living in a small 71/2' by 111/2' family room and a small chopped up kitchen to this lovely family kitchen/living space. With to little ones (aged 4 and 17mos.) it is so nice to know that we will have a beautiful space to live in, enjoy, and grow together. Thanks for all your great feedback. I'm also pleasd to answer and questions you may have.
