Kitchen Reveal!!

11 years ago

I have been lurking and carefully gathering as much information from all the great users of GW and Houzz for a couple of years now and am so excited to share our remodeled kitchen! We had a kitchen about 15 years old that wasn't very functional for our family of 5 and needed some updates. We sanded and restrained the red oak floor, new electrical, plumbing, cabinets and appliances. We are thrilled with the results!







First two two pics are before. I'll do my best to list everything.

counters: Quartz Cambria Torquay

backsplash: Limestone 4x12 Jeffrey Court

island and sink lights: Potterybarn Paxton

Bosch speed oven and convection oven

36" induction cooktop Bosch

LG counter depth refridgerator

bosch dishwasher 800 series

Zephyr hood

knobs and pulls: Amerock Rochdale

farm sink: Hahn

faucets: delta

paint color: SW Pedimont

trim: SW extra white

Floor: refinished Red Oak with Minwax Classic Grey stain

    Just lovely! Nice work! I had to scroll back and forth several times before I noticed how everything was in a similar location in the before kitchen, but it looks completely different!

    I have one question.. Where is your dishwasher? It must be well camouflaged! Ok two..Do you have any other pictures of the working side of the island? I'm contemplating a similar overall layout and I would love to see how you laid out the island:)

    Does not look like the same house! Amazing! Wow.

    Would love to see the other side of the island.

  • 11 years ago

    That looks amazing! I love the colors and the coffee garage.

    Thank you so much for all the kind comments! It seriously feels like my working space was doubled even though my total countertops and cabinets didn't change that much. Dishwasher was moved to center of island. It was previously located in the peninsula. There is also a cabinet for my mixer that pops out. And the cabinet over the fridge contains the TV.

    I seriously love this. All of your color choices are perfect together.

    Gorgeous! Great details that work together. Congratulations!

    I love it so much I needed to comment again...I don't typically like two-tone kitchens but I am really groovin' on yours. The light grey and dark stain look really great together...and the whole space looks so much bigger. Really awesome job!!

    Gorgeous!

    Thanks @dcward89! It took me awhile to figure it out as all dark was way too dark and I just couldn't wrap my head around white cabinets, so I went with the grey, convincing myself that it's still a neutral color so everything will be ok:-). A bit trendy but I just love it! And kept some darker cabinets just because I love stained wood cabinets too. I have no plans of selling so I finally did something for me instead of 'for the masses'.

    Beautiful!

    Really nice job. Love your colors, and your floor turned out great. Really sets off your dark cabs. Well done! And thanks for showing us. :)

    Love the mix of dark stained and gray cabs, especially with your newly refinished floors. And that backsplash is gorgeous!

    Love the hood, too. I nearly bought a Zephyr hood but I wanted baffle filters and at the time I purchased my hood, they only offered mesh filters. Not that I don't love my Modern Aire hood but the Zephyr was definitely more budget friendly.

    Good plan to eliminate the peninsula and make the island longer. I think that's why your kitchen looks bigger now.

    It's beautiful! Enjoy your gorgeous kitchen in the best of health.

    Stunning!

  • 11 years ago

    Amazing transformation! Hard to choose a favorite thing about your space. You must be thrilled every time you walk into the room. Enjoy!

  • 11 years ago

    It's gorgeous especially your floors. We're also doing light gray cabs and chocolate island so it's great to see yours. It's validating what I saw in my head for the color combo.

    What a fantastic remodel. The before and after is really dramatic, I love what you did with the space.

  • 11 years ago

    Love your colors--everything is so soothing and calm, and then bam! Those pendants! It all looks great together, and I can tell that you're happy with it. Enjoy!

    Love it!!!

  • 11 years ago

    I'm swooning over your third picture - love the contrast and colors. GREAT job!!!

  • 11 years ago

    I love the way the floor and the backsplash play off of each other. What an absolutely stunning pairing and the cabinets are a great foil for them. Love the space.

    Wow! That is utterly beautiful.

  • 11 years ago

    Oh my, that's beautiful! The cooktop area is a lovely focal point, and it all works together so well!

  • 11 years ago

    I saw your befores and said "Oh, that kitchen is OK" (and thought, why bother with a remodel?). Then I saw the after and said "WOW!!!!!! (and thought, I'm so glad they remodeled). Love it. And it feels so spacious.

  • 11 years ago

    No way! That is not even the same house. Amazing job. I am going to show my DH the 4x12 tiles on your bs. We have been ABB for longer then I care to admit. He likes bigger tiles, like 6x12, but I'm not so sure. However, I love your backsplash, so that might be the perfect compromise. Thanks so much for posting your reveal.

  • 11 years ago

    Love it. It is so unique in such a good way.

    I can't add anything to all the comments above but just had to say that I love your remodel - especially (but definitely not limited to) the backsplash!! It's just such a fantastic space!

    Lovely!

    What are the dimensions of your island? And the run of cabinets behind? Would love to use for inspiration in my layout.

  • 11 years ago

    Beautiful! Would love to know the dimensions of your island and perimeter cabinets also. Thanks!

    Very nice, esp. like the BS with the grey cabs. The BS seems to even compliment the floor.

  • 11 years ago

    My new kitchen is not even two years old. But now I want yours! Greedy girl, that I am. I think your TV over the fridge is brilliant. Congrats and many, many years of enjoyment in there.

  • 11 years ago

    Thanks again for the kind comments. The dimensions for the island are 120" and the long counter is 22' 2". Hope that helps!

  • 11 years ago

    Stunning! Everything goes together beautifully. My favorite elements are your island light fixture, backsplash, the beautiful color of the island, sink, coffee bar, and gorgeous floors. Enjoy!
