hi joan...

Windows...skylights...beautiful cabs...looks great!

So many granites would go with those cabs. Chose the one YOU love the best!

KA:)

Joan, I know the feeling. It's beginning to happen and it's so exciting.

It's going to be beautiful...

Nancy

Oh WOW - you lucky dog! :)

I LOVE all the light - so pretty!

The cabinets are beautiful. What is the color?

I am jealous of all those windows and then skylights too!

I have one very small window that gets about a half hour of direct light through trees early in the morning.

I can't wait to see it with the granite. Have fun!

Ahhh, thanks all! it is very exciting! The cabinets look more yellow than they are- the color is Canvas by Kraftmaid, it is a soft white. I love it and I am thrilled with the overall look of the cabinets. Can't wait to get the bistros in! Unfortunately our Advantium cabinet came in with something wrong, so will have to wait for that replacement before we can finish the crown molding, But, I'll still be able to get the granite and everything else.

Looks so light and bright... AWESOME!!

Be sure to post a picture out those windows next spring...What a great view you have.

Oooh! Ahhh! Amazing! Everyone will be drooling over your natural light...especially those of us with interior kitchens!

And after the granite...on to the backsplash! Have fun deciding!

Admirable ceiling!

Looks great so far. Giallo Ornamental would look awesome!

Love it--windows, skylights, cabs, stove--beautiful! Can't wait to see what granite you choose. What stove is that?

Sunny skylights, a sunny color on the cabinets, and a beautiful view....What's not to love?! Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!

I love the stove!! It's GE Monogram. I choose it for the little night light over each knob :) I love the blue oven with 3 sliding racks also. Will it cook? Who cares- it looks good. Seriously, the two appliance stores I went to gave it raving reviews. Let you know more about it after I actually use it.

Beautiful! Love the windows and the skylights came out really nice!

Beautiful! Love the skylights! We're doing a skylight in our kitchen, too. Can you tell me - is your roof flat or does it slope? I can't quite tell from the picture.

I can't wait to see more progress pictures!

Ktink,
The roof is sloped but our ceiling is flat. That was quite a decision! We were going to have a cathedral ceiling, but it involved a lot of restructuring so we opted out. Then the decision of how many, where to put them...I asked GWers for help (you can probably search the pictures and responses I got). Everyone was a great help. Someone suggested going close to the windows to get an atrium effect. I went for that- at least as close as we could with headers and all. I love the finished product! They will even be centered over the island so I can still have pendant lights in between.

Hooray!!! Congratualtions!
I can't wait for that stage of this project (we're still in demo-phase)
And Giallo Ornamental is one of my favorites and probably my #1 runner up. I think it'll look awesome! We decided on Venetian Gold with Antique finish.

I love progress pictures, keep them coming!

Wow, it looks great. The "canvas" color is so warm and pretty. I think your granite choice will be really nice too!

Joan - Thank you for the skylight info and exterior shot. I love how your skylights look both inside and outside.

We are doing a kitchen addition and wanted a cathedral ceiling but couldn't do it because of all the roof lines coming into play. So not only were we limited to a flat roof but also a maximum 8 ft ceiling height inside. Big bummer. So we're looking at doing a pyramid-type skylight to add some height. I'll definitely search through the archives here for more info before making a final decision.

Thanks!

JoAnn: I LOVE my giallo ornamental. It makes me do a happy dance each time I walk into the kitchen. Those big windows over the kitchen sink would also make me do a happy dance. GW is the reason I asked the architect to enlarge the window over my kitchen sink. LOVE IT!!!
