Updates on Our New Build

11 years ago

I thought I would post some pics of our butlers pantry. It is coming along. Need to get another cab and some other things for the room.

We got those cheap HD unfinished oak cabs for the room. Our budget could not expand passed these cabs. I painted one the same color as our trim and other cabs in the kitchen. It actually came out quite well.

I plan on painting the island in our kitchen SW Brainstorm Bronze and also the lowers in the pantry. We are using absolute black honed in the butler's kitchen and we were going to go with a white marble for our island until I found this. So different than what we were planning but this slab was magnificent. It is lighter in person and gorgeous. It really marries all of our colors in the house. These counters will be going in by next week! WOO HOO!!!! We move into the house in 3 weeks. EEK!




Sorry for the sideways photos!

    Excuse the mess. This is the main kitchen. The island will be painted brainstorm bronze (the color you see just on the right painted darker wall). Just behind the range wall is the butlers pantry. Just to give an idea.

    Still a great deal to do!

    Your butler's pantry is going to be wonderful. And that granite on top of the BB paint is perfect. Do you know the name of your granite?


  • 11 years ago

    Thanks Mag! It is called Monte Christo I believe. It is either from Brazil or India. I found the two slabs at AG&M. So funny my dh and I went to find the right slab of carerra and picked this! Could not be more different.

    I know! I assume you saved some bucks by not using carerra?


  • 11 years ago

    Actually no. Same price. Oh well...

    The butler's pantry is huge, what a great feature! The cabinets look nice, I wouldn't have guessed they were a budget choice.

    That slab! It is so gorgeous, and perfect for your kitchen. I love the colors and pattern. Much more unique and personal than marble. It will be so pretty with the BB and your other finishes. And probably more lower maintenance, so bonus!

    I am joining the BB club, but only with one wall. DH is not on board for the whole LR in that color, and he's probably right, so I think I'm doing one wall and maybe my kitchen table.

    I love the size and the shape of the butler's pantry. You will certainly have plenty of storage space.

    That's one big butler's pantry! So jealous since I have a smallish galley kitchen and not enough storage. Love the granite!

    It's looking great! You must be so excited!

    That granite is beautiful! Now you wont have to worry about etching/staining of marble (why I didnt use it in my kitchen). I used a ceasarstone like product which I have already chipped. My dad has granite and it is virtually indestructible.

    I love your butler's pantry!!! The cabinets look great. I want a bp in my house but havent decided yet. I would love to see yours finished.

    I just went on a local fundraising house tour and every house that had been remodelled in the 2010's had carrara marble in the kitchen and bathroom (also with white cabinets) ... it gets boring to see the same thing over and over ... it is a pretty stone, but when everybody has it, then all the kitchens and bathrooms start to look the same with no unique personality. Glad you picked something different. You won't regret it.

    Love your butler's pantry and granite choice. Can't wait to see it all together. Props on the cabs in the pantry too. I know you must be getting anxious moving to the finish line!

  • 11 years ago

    Thanks!

    Outside, super anxious. Not getting enough sleep. Constantly dreaming, worrying or working on the house. ;)

  • 11 years ago

    Ohh so jealous of your great butler's pantry and lovely kitchen! Can't wait to see the entire house! Who could sleep with all that's going on? :)

  • 11 years ago

    True that mom2!! Lol

  • 11 years ago

    Not only is it beautiful but you will have so much storage. Your paint colors, flooring, and counter choices are lovely.

    Oh, I am so envious! What a wonderful pantry.

    I think your granite choice is spectacular. It reminds me of my Typhoon Bordeaux.

    Looks like we will have enough of the granite to use it throughout the main kitchen and the butlers pantry. That makes me super happy! Looks like they will be installing it all this week! I probably won't even have all the cabs painted.
