Gorgeous. Congratulations! Love the pendants and the range and everything else, too!

Wow! Beautiful. I also love the lighting and that gorgeous china cab!

It's beautiful! I really love the backstory of having the same range as your grandmother, how special. And getting those beautiful lights from a convent...very cool! Love the windows above the doorway and opening...how unique! Your counters are gorgeous as are your other selections. It looks very warm and welcoming. Enjoy!

Sorry the write up was hastily written. I should have said a big giant Thank You to all the other posters, the regulars, the questions and answers. My edit button came from gardenweb, something about not having too many clowns in the kitchen. THANK YOU

Beautiful! And such a great story for such a great range.

Here is the Eastlake cabinet. It was always difficult to access the bottom part of the cabinet when it was in the dining room. So when we moved it to the kitchen, I ordered a big drawer online. My Dad and I transformed it into a file cabinet drawer by adding heavy duty slides.

Spectular! Love everything, especially the pendants!

The vintage and repurposed items are wonderful, especially the nod to your grandmother. Where did you find the pendants?

Crisp, clean and classic, my favorite kind of kitchen! Simply lovely.

Love your range. Beautiful!

Really gorgeous!

Spectacular!

I love everything, it is just stunning. But that stove! How cool is that being the same as G'ma! I love all the decorative touches too, like your colorful vintage bowls on the shelves. I think Linelle will totally want the yellow jar with the two black and white kitties. And what is that hanging on the wall just about the left side of the stove? It is awesome whatever it is, haha! Beautiful job!

The pendants are fantastic. Love the range (and connection to Grandma). And the hutch. And the transoms. And the glass cabs to left of fridge and the cute collection displayed there. Is that a clock on the top shelf? It's darling. Also love how the stools call back to the color of the hutch. And that pale green is fantastic with the pale blue range. I guess I should have just written that I love it all. :) Enjoy your beautiful, spaciousness!

Really awesome.

Wow...just Wow!

I love absolutely every single thing. Stunning. Great choices all around.

Very nice! I love the transom windows on the dining room wall. And those pendants!

You did such a good job creating a functionally up-to-date kitchen that fits perfectly with your older home.

The things you don't see coming & going add so much charm - the pendants, stove & china cabinet. Very clever how you transformed that piece for filing. The transom glass is a quiet but beautiful feature.

I'm partial to white kitchens with dark wood accents ;) and yours is a stunning example! Thank you for sharing -

Wonderful! - light and bright, traditional but not fussy, great combination of working surfaces and display cabinets. I know you must be enjoying the new space and vintage Chambers!

The transoms really support the transition to the next room, nice. And are the doors the same style throughout your house? I like the trim on them, and how the paneled doors echo the kitchen cabinets.

Is that a salt box above the Chambers? And what do you keep on the long open shelf to the right of the range?

Perfection.

Oh my word. My favorite things (not in order): The floors, range, stacked cabinets, glass, THAT ANTIQUE CABINET, transom, lighting, Windows on sink wall.. Just beautiful.

Absolutely perfect! Can I ask what brand and color you used for your hardwood floors?

Beautiful and in keeping with the house while making use of all the modern conveniences! Love the wall color, transoms and everything else too!

Oh a question, can you tell me the source of your knobs please??

Beautiful, all of it. I especially love the green on the walls.

So, so charming! I mean it looks incredibly efficient and all that, but I had to look past the charm to see that, if you know what I mean. Wow, you must be thrilled.

Oh, my, so many things to love!

Count me as another GWer who adores the backstory behind your Chambers. And I love its color! How could one not love a baby blue vintage range?

Love the history behind your island pendants. How great that they were repurposed for your kitchen.

Love the transom windows over the pass through and doorway.

Love how you added function to that gorgeous antique cabinet.

Love the antique crockery and how you've displayed it.

And last but not least, love your marble! If I had a vintage home, I'd do marble counters, too. But I didn't think patinated marble would fit in in a 21 yr old home.

Congrats, you've breathed new life into and added a lot of beauty to your home!

ETA: love the wall color, too. Is it as Grannie Smith apple green as it appears on my monitor?

What a pretty kitchen! Darn, I wish I had known about the Old West Side tour, then I could have seen your kitchen in person! The light fixtures are great and I love the stove and marble!

Thank you for all the complements.

Regarding photos in previous post ( that somehow deleted the post writing). My pantry, following GW shelf recommendations. the Chambers, salt box to the left of the stove is from my Grandma's kitchen. The photo to the right is of my Grandmother at her Chambers. The view from the dining room to the kitchen shows how I have shallow lower cabinets opening into the dining room giving me a very deep counter between the 2 rooms. The uppers closest to the dining room have a open shelf under the cabinet that holds my blue and white stroopwaffel collection. Anyone that is in town and wants to see the kitchen pm me. The paint color is Benjamin Moore harbor town, kind of a cross between apple green and mossy green.

Oh, I love how you have your Grandmother's salt box and her photo at her own Chamber's. That's the best thing ever! :)

Do you love cooking on your Chambers? I have a yellow one sitting in my garage that I started to restore a couple of years ago, but got busy with life. I've been cooking on a Bertazzoni which is nice too. The idea was to use the Bert until I got the Chambers done. I just haven't been motivated to finish since I have a perfectly good range. Your kitchen may just be the motivation I need to finally "Git 'er done'!

I LOVE it! Particularly the wall colour, the glass knobs, the oven, the pendants, and the transoms. What is the Red Riding Hood? Is that a cookie jar? The antique/Eastlake cabinet looks amazing with the wall colour.

I do love cooking on the Chambers. We use the cooking well (round circular lid on the right back of range) to keep our oatmeal warm. Tonight I did some sweet potato fries in the oven then put them in the well to stay warm. I broiled turkey burgers in the broiler. I never used my broiler in a conventional oven before but this one works so well and is so cool looking ( it's on the top to the left, there is a griddle on top and that piece lifts with a handle to reveal a broiler underneath). the burners have a decent amount of space between them so I can get 3 good size pots going at once. I have an induction burner from the Reno if I need another burner.

The pendant lights were bought at materials unlimited, website materialsunlimited.com. I bought them in person but they have a decent website and I'm sure they would ship.

The Red Riding Hood is an antique cookie jar. Her blue eyes go with the Chambers.....

I love the whole kitchen especially the stove and the pendant lights. I would love to have pendants like the ones over the island. I am a bit confused, which lights did you get from the convent and which ones did you order online?

Gorgeous kitchen with beautiful counters and so much light! I love the dark stools.

The lights over the island were salvaged from a Detroit convent that was being remodeled. Materials Unlimited (in Ypsilanti) bought all the light fixtures and I bought 2 of them. They must have had at least 30 to start with. the rewire and clean up the fixtures then resell them. They do have a website but also a really cool old building that they sell their stuff from in Ypsilanti.

I went to Architectural Salvage Warehouse in Detroit, but I forgot all about Materials Unlimited right in our own back yard. Thanks for the reminder!

I love it all! You guys did a fantastic job!

Tell me about your floors. Are they oak, and what color stain was used? We want to achieve a similar color on ours

The floors are white oak, finished on site. The stain was a custom blend to match the rest of our floors, I would call it a medium brown but I believe "walnut" was one of the main names.

Beautiful job.

Chuhpia- great job! I love what you did with your kitchen plus the stories on your lights and Chambers!

Bummed out that I missed the tour this year as we are cycling and touring in Tuscany celebrating our 20th anniversary.

Maybe we can do an A2 meet-up when back in town.

Congrats!

Beautiful kitchen with so many charming features. The main star, of course, is your Chambers Range. My favorites are the transom windows, the glass cabinets & open shelves, all the windows and the Carrara. Congratulations!

Thanks Romy and a2gemini as I have read many of your postings over the past couple of years! A2 you are welcome to stop by anytime, your trip sounds lovely.
