Well let me be the first to say my gracious your kitchen is beautiful! And yes, the stool is PERFECT! I think it adds the perfect touch of color and texture to your space.

THANKS MIssyV, music to my ears. :)

I love it !!!!! the counter and island colors blend beautifully with all the colors in the space.
I also like the rattan bar stool- it does warm it up- I think a touch of black would look nice too!
You and design crew have done a fabulous job.
Congratulations! What's the next room???

I think it's just beautiful. The colors so well blended and restful. I do love your 2 small windows rather than big uppers. Congratulations.
I do agree that some mistakes turn out to be better than the original plan.

You have a beautiful kitchen! Congrats! It all looks great and will be even more fabulous when you get it all warmed up like you said. I like your bar stool a lot! Looks great. Love your French doors, too.

Thank you for keeping us posted! Everything just keeps getting more amazing with each new addition. I agree - that chair adds wonderful complimentary warmth.

Congratulations, and can't wait to see more.

I love Blizzard, I think it looks great. The stool looks great too, agree about keeping it warm and natural. Lovely space.

Fabulous! The blizzard and the chair!

Just beautiful. And I too love the counter stool.

So elegant. I love it!!

I was just admiring the chair when I read your question whether it was a good addition.. really nice! How exciting! A beautiful kitchen!

I love the first picture/closeup! The countertops look fantastic along with your backsplash and trim. What is that little jog in the front of the island? I think the stool looks fine but are there any other elements you might want to match? And what are you putting in for a range? I'm very excited to see it!

OMG, it's gorgeous. I also love the bar stool but I think a very dark one would look great too. You must be so pleased.

A very serene kitchen. I think the barstool picks up the floor color nicely. I also like how your French doors allow your floor and deck colors to merge the inside and outside spaces.

cheers

Thank you to all for your nice comments.

Oldbat2be--If you notice in the 4th picture down you will see a door that leads to our basement. Our washer and dryer are in the basement so I am always coming up the stairs with a basket of laundry so we incorporated that jog in the c.top so that I can move thru that pinch point comfortably. We have 48" Thermador range that goes in on Monday.

I just love it. It is so ... enveloping. Gorgeous. And I love the stool; perfect. I cannot wait to see a still life of produce or flowers in that wonderful setting.

Wow! Loving what you did to the kitchen!

I love the kitchen, the bar stool adds just the right amount to texture. What is your wall color, BM wickham grey?

dmshohio--BM Nimbus

so beautiful! I love your soft color palette!

What a soft and lovely kitchen! Congrats on a beautiful job!

Your kitchen is breath taking! What kind of edge do you have on your countertop? I like the clean look. I am also going with BM Nimbus, beautiful color! Enjoy!!!

Chiming in - the new white works just great. I love the shapes and the overall design of your kitchen! And yes, the stool adds just the right tone. Bravo!

It's already been said, but "gorgeous" sums it up for me! Can you give us the dimensions of your kitchen?

I love the color with your kitchen. Was this stone cheaper than the one you paid for, or would it be an even exchange?

Just beautiful! And yes, keep the stools. Love the texture and warmth they add.

Have I missed an update? What's next? The appliances? Would love to see the progress and to know what counter stools you decided on.

Also, what kind of edge do you have on your counters? What is the thickness, and is the edge mitered? If you did not do mitered, is the seam invisible?

Great GREAT job! Love it!!

BlackChamois--No, you have not missed an update. We went on vacation and summer is now officially over...:( School starts up tomorrow. Thank you for asking, it's nice to be missed. :) Pictures of completion real soon.

The edge of the countertop is called a "mitered square edge". It is 1 3/4" thick. The seam on the edge is invisible to my eye. The island piece is one slab so there are no seams on the surface.
