Big improvement! Love the ceiling- lighting- and cabinets and countertops. Can you share what material and color of the counters?

Wow!

Hi cabingirl... it's Quartz..... Ceaserstone Dreamy Marfil

Love the kitchen lights. Where did you find them?

Great Job!

Very warm and inviting. Love the ceilings.

Great choice of lighting! Really nice job.

very nice

Are you sure that's the same room? Fantastic job

wow that looks amazing! love it

like the picture placement! Beautiful job!

Love that you did dark wood instead of white. Everyone is doing white and I'm trying to get rid of our old grungy white. Thanks for the inspiration!

Where's the microwave?

Love, love, love it!

Suggestion: the painting you have hanging waaaaaay up high on the wall looks odd, please remove that. Counter tops need something with a warm color, large, not tiny. I'd go with an unglazed collection of burnt orange, mustard, and dark green good sized pots in the left side counter space that has nothing on it. Don't forget plants, a beautiful fresh flower arrangement or potted plant in a pot or dark basket would be nice. On the floor, put a good sized rug that picks up the warm colors in the pottery. It's the final details that pull it all together.

Beautiful! What are the room dimensions of room? i.e. from wall behind fridge to chair side of island AND from window wall to far side of hallway wall?

The island was a great idea. Looks much bigger now. I love the ceiling lights too.

Hello,

We love the choice of a darker wood stain. It captures the eye immediately. The additional roof space is another feature that improved the overall look of this kitchen.

I love what you've done, it's beautiful. Question: Is there a microwave hidden somewhere??

Love the way the three wood shades blend together and don't fight each other. A masterful job!

Wow! That really opened up the kitchen! Beautiful! Great job!

I would suggest adding some color to the ceiling. Just a simple wood glazing to warm it up. A little distressed to bring out the organic elements of the wood. You can see examples on my Houzz page. Christina's Interior Finishes

I like the light colored ceiling. I think it keeps the room feeling airy.

Huge, amazing difference!

Isn't it amazing what one can do to totally change a room! Make it modern! Make it gorgeous! You did just that...enjoy!

P. S. I like the painting hung way up high...it's fun (and I've done that in my kitchen too!)

Thank you all for the feedback!

okay I see...the refrigerator is pretty much where the doorway use to be. Great idea

Love the new ceiling design!

Great job! I love the dark wood & the ceilings. Oh, and the island/chairs as well :)
I personally would have chose stainless steel appliances (I do love that it is a gas stove though!!)
I agree with the above suggestion to remove the picture- I don't really like it there either. It looks out of place and my eye went to it right to it.
Post more pictures when you have it all together with finishing touches please!! :)

Wow! Very nice job - clean and classy!

Love the whole look! It's nice to see black appliances instead of stainless steel for a change. Looking for ideas to update our 80's kitchen.

Wow-very sophisticated. Nice job!

Looks great! I would love to hear some words from you regarding my "dilemma": https://www.houzz.com/discussions/ive-seen-300-pages-of-small-kitchens-and-i-am-still-in-a-mess-dsvw-vd~2780960

Thanks!

I liked it better before.Sure now it's bigger and more open but it doesn't look right.People need to be aware of other things than just space, such as too much open area, how things relate to each other etc.That island just looks lonely, and I would feel uncomfortable sitting there.I've seen this happen so often, where the before looks better, to me at least.

Great remodel!

Well done! I really like the lighter ceiling!

I wonder if a person's comment has more to do with the wide angle lense used in the photograph than the actual space. Looks comfortable to me.
