First photo of my new kitchen!

13 years ago

well, it's been a journey - one issue after another. But my kitchen is 95% finished. The sconces were just hung today and my husband took this photo with his smart phone just minutes ago.

I just had to share with everyone. More photos and details to come soon. Thanks to everyone who held my hand along the way when the going was rough.

The tile is the heartthrob of my kitchen and is so more beautiful in person. It glows without getting too showy and has a real depth to it. It stops me in my tracks every time I walk into the room. Form Italy, pricy but so worth it.

So...as Barry Manilow would say "Looks like we made it!"

    Beautiful backsplash! I had to double take because at first I thought that window was an aquarium.

    Wow! That is really gorgeous! I remember back when you first showed off that window and were asking for pictures of sconces in kitchens. I think you out did every one of the photos you saw! That tile is just perfect and so rich and I LOVE how you took it to the ceiling!!! I can't wait to see more pictures! Love the sconces too. Really, really beautiful!

    Another wow! I thought it was an aquarium too. What a spectacular window, and a nice view too.

    Thanks, everyone. Here's another photo of same wall with true colors. You all need to come over for a glass of wine because photos can't capture the beauty of the tile. Thanks to resource_queen for sharing it with me.

    Wow, that is absolutely gorgeous! Let us know when we need to help with the magazine staging for your kitchen, lol. But seriously, it's magazine-worthy for sure.

    Love it all. Sconces look great on the tile wall. Love the arched window (hmmm, giving me an idea..)

    Does that window open or is it fixed?

    Just lovely!

  • 13 years ago

    That is some seriously beautiful tile! And your window isn't too shabby either! And then there those awesome lights. You certainly have great taste. Can't wait to see the rest of your kitchen.

    talk about a focal point! It's stunning, at first I thought it was from a magazine, and you were going to say just kidding, this is from_ - it's so amazing! What is the tile name? You have convinced me to tile all the way up, it is so nice with the sconces on it! great job!

  • 13 years ago

    Lord honey, that is beautiful! What a view and so well done.

    Just don't let the boys play baseball in the backyard.

  • 13 years ago

    That tile REALLY sets the window off well. It's gorgeous!

  • 13 years ago

    I would be happy to come do your dishes.

  • 13 years ago

    Thanks again for the nice comments. We're getting ready for the BIG storm, but I wanted to respond to those who asked about my tile.

    It is Vetro Bianco Lux from Casamood. When I first ordered a sample, I didn't like it and threw it away. But my mind quickly changed when I saw a photo of it installed in a kitchen.

    Be safe, everyone!

  • 13 years ago

    Wow! Absolutely stunning!!

  • 13 years ago

    Absolutely beautiful!! Love the view, the tile, the window - everything.

  • 13 years ago

    Gorgeous, amazing, take-my-breath away tile and window. Congrats and be safe!!

  • 13 years ago

    Absolutely gorgeous! I'm heading over - and bringing the wine. :)

  • 13 years ago

    It's lovely. So different and elegant. I really love the tile from Italy, it's gorgeous. Your faucet is just like mine, I really do like it. It feels solid and the shape of the spray handle is nice. Love your cabinet color, sink and counter top. Great job!

  • 13 years ago

    Gorgeous room! Can I ask a few newbie ?? How did you order the tile? Is the tile a mother of pearl subway tile? It looks like it shimmers. Beautiful.

  • 13 years ago

    Wow! That is a beautiful wall.

    This place is better than a home-dec magazine....

  • 13 years ago

    Well done! I love the shape of your window. Please tell us the name of your stunningly beautiful tiles.

  • 13 years ago

    I don't think I've ever seen such gorgeous tile! And that incredible view! I can just imagine standing there, enjoying a cup of coffee and watching the sun rise. Congratulations, it's lovely.

  • 13 years ago

    It's gorgeous! Please post additional pictures, I would love to see more of your lovely kitchen. Also, details details, details! Love it!
