Oops! I just now read about posting pics of finished kitchens in the gallery. I hadn't been on here in a while, and I thought everyone posted them here. I'm sorry if these are in the wrong spot. I'll post them over there.

Beautiful! Congrats! What is the granite and the backsplash? They look great together.

Ditto on the beautiful! Not just in your eyes, but in ours as well! :-) Btw, you are not in the wrong place to be posting your photos here. Although, posting them in the gallery as well is strongly recommended. And, your comments are not boring. No need to be so modest. Indeed, feel free to put a bit more swagger into your reveal. A strut of this kitchen is most deserved!

I like it when pics are posted here. Love the round prep sink, the beadboard behind your baking center, all the windows, the floor - ok the whole thing is a great picture and really does look functional. is your counter giallo ornamentale?

Ahh.. thank you all! I'm glad it's okay to post the pics here too.

The granite is indeed giallo ornamental, and the backsplash is tumbled marble.

It's beautiful! And I think it will be very helpful to people on here, thanks for posting!

Love your kitchen! It looks beautiful! I've picked the same pot filler, and it's fun to see it on your wall.

Can I ask where you got your pendant lights, and what they are called? I really like them, as well.

Thanks.

That looks like a Pottery Barn Benchright table with both leaves installed? We got one too - the rustic look goes great with kitchens like this.

The first word that comes to mind is "pleasant". I can see many happy times both preparing meals and sharing them in your new kitchen. This reminds me of finding a magical pair of jeans that makes your butt look good and flattens your stomach. The perfect balance of comfortable and pretty.
It will be enjoyed for decades :)

It's lovely! So glad you are enjoying it!

Thank you for the kind words. We do have good times in our new kitchen and Lord willing there will be many more to come! Now, if I could find that magical pair of jeans!:-)

The pendants and chandelier are Savoy House Oxford Collection. We bought most of our lights for the whole house from LightingDirect.com.

The table is the PB Benchwright. I love the way it looks in our space, and it's very durable.

beautiful... wonderful... I love it. (of course I do -- I see many of the things that I've placed in my wish list file for when the time comes!)

how wide is your island? your aisles? my kitchen is very similar (perhaps a few inches narrower) and I'm wondering what real life experience you may have to share....

thanks so much for sharing your kitchen with us :-)

Did the pretty corbels under your island overhang come from the cabinet company or did you get them somewhere else? Is that St. Cecilia granite? It looks great!

You're very welcome and thanks for the kind words!

The island top measures 42" x 89". 10 1/2" of that length is overhang for the barstools which is plenty for us. The aisles are 46-48" and are wide enough that if someone is working at the counter in any given spot someone else can easily pass by, even when the dw or trash is pulled opened. It's common during meal prep for one person to be at the sink loading/unloading the dw, one to be at the cooktop, one or two by the mw/fridge/prep sink area, and usually a person or two sitting at the barstools. Hope that helps!

The granite is giallo ornamental, and the corbels came from the company that custom made our cabinets.:-)

Beautiful, beautiful job. You must be so pleased. I love it!

So nice!!! I really like it!

Love your kitchen! Especially love that whole refrigerator wall. You made it so interesting when it could have been very boring between the big fridge, big double ovens, the pantry. Instead, we notice the different heights and depths of the cabinets, the glass doors, that nice little niche counter that does so many things: Serves as landing spot for the ovens/fridge and a home for the toaster. You clearly put a lot of thought into your design.

I'll take the stool on the right please! I'm so glad you came back to share your warm, inviting kitchen. Enjoy all the wonderful family times there.

I love your kitchen! Could you share your wall color? Thanks!

I love your kitchen. What a great job. It is very similar to mine which is still in progress.

I love your hardware. Do you mind sharing the name?

Very nice! So glad you shared on this forum and not just the FKB. I love to see pics as it helps to pick up pointers. Enjoy your lovely space!

Thanks for sharing it here. I check this blog much more often than the FKB. Looks beautiful....ENJOY!

You all are so kind! Thanks!

The paint color is Tobacco Road from Sherwin Williams. You have to ask for it at the counter, as it's an old Duron formula and not in their fan deck. I learned about the color on the home decorating forum.:-) It's a lovely deep golden that seems to change in different lights sometimes almost looking tannish. The pictures don't do the color justice, esp not with my camera. We need to go shopping for a new one soon!

The hardware is Amerock French Country from Knobs4less. They were a lot cheaper than other places, and the quality seems fine.

Thanks again for the compliments!:-)

Beautiful job! Love the floors - they're gorgeous! Love the backsplash frame detailing at your baking center, too! Your dining table is fantastic! Was it custom?

I'd wondered what happened to you!!

I'm so glad you're loving it. - As well you should, it turned out so great! I didn't remember that you having white cabs...Was that always the plan? Maybe it was my imagination that was off.

I love your table and chairs... They look similar to ours...Only more stylish and we don't need the high chair any more. :-(

The flooring is MAGNIFICENT.

Hi Rhome, how are you? I was hoping you'd pop in here.:-) What happened was that shortly after we moved in we learned we were expecting again and welcomed baby #9 last spring. I thought maybe we were finished with the highchair till grandbabies, but God had other plans!:-)

You remember correctly, we were back and forth with paint or stain up till the last minute. We like both types, and it was hard to decide! Making the decision to go with wood floors helped cinch it, as we love the contrast between creamy white cabs and wood floors. If we'd gone with tile floors we likely would've picked stained cabinets. Ahh, I'm so glad all those decisions are behind us!:-)

The table is the extended Benchwright from Pottery Barn - We looked and looked for a table that would comfortably seat 12-14 but didn't want to spend several thousand dollars to get one. We looked at all local places, online, and even having one custom built. Everything was either more than we wanted to spend or seemed cheap quality that might not hold up over the years. Then around Christmas we saw the Benchwright table in Pottery Barn and fell in love with it. We've been very pleased with it! We saved money by picking up some basic black chairs at a different store, and they are working out great.

Just for fun.. here's partly the reason why it took me so long to post finished pics...

Wow, it looks great (and the baby too :)) congrats to you!

Oh, that is just BEAUTIFUL! And that is the cutest darned pantry--love it! Your kitchen looks so spacious and bright, and that table is perfect for a large family, but doesn't look like a behemoth. It's perfect.

But I confess, my favorite part of your remodel is your biggest blessing of all--your precious baby! Sooo adorable!

Congratulations in every way! :^)

God's plans are always the best. That little guy is even better and more gorgeous than the kitchen...of course!

I thought the renderings were stained cabinets...PHew. Nice to know my memory still works! ;-)

We had 2 get married this summer, so maybe a grandbaby in the high chair is in our not too distant future. I'm pretty sure we're past the possibility of our own #9, so I'm just glad to have #10 and #11, by marriage!

God bless all of you in your new home for years and years to come.

Your kitchen is beautiful. Everything blends wonderfully. Love your back splash. You mentioned it was tumbled marble, what color and manufacturer? Thanks and enjoy your beautiful kitchen...

Oops, forgot to ask about your sink faucet. Can you please share information about it! Thanks...

Wonderful job! I love your kitchen and the layout is very similar to what I am trying to work with. It really helps to see pictures. Thanks...

buddy mo - I had to go look at the extra box of tiles to see what kind it was. Funny how quickly you forget some details once it's over. Anyway, the box says 3x6 Tumbled Marble Chiaro by PGM Products. I think we got those tiles at Lowe's. The sink faucets are Danze Opulence in stainless finish, and we bought those from FaucetDirect.com. I love the stainless finish, it's beautiful and stays clean looking, doesn't smudge or show prints.

Rhome - Congrats on the marriages! I have a feeling that's right around the corner for us too...

Thanks again everyone for the kind words! And, yes, the baby is the best gift of all.:-)

Sorry for continuing OT, but obviously, I can't count. Our new sons are #9 and #10! Anyway, if/when you have any questions about weddings... Just let me know. ;-)

A wonderful kitchen! I love your table and chairs, and ADORE your floors. My 2 favorite things about your post are the peek inside your baking drawers (wow -- I want!) and your pic of #9.

Thanks Rhome, I'll keep that in mind. I'm just scratching my head wondering how this time got here so quickly!

Thanks Scootermom - I almost didn't post pics of the drawers or inside the pantry, because they weren't straightened or well stocked(it was right before shopping day). I need to snap another of them all organized, but first I need to organize.:-)

I love your kitchen! I am also using Chiaro backsplash. Do you have any idea what color grout you used?
