This is how we started!

We took out the wall to the right with the window, which was exterior and load bearing. We had to have a large 25 foot steel beam installed, which can seen in some of the pics. We considered making it decorative but ultimately painted it the same as the ceiling color because of our 8 foot ceilings. They blend quite well. We had to move both of the cased openings to accommodate the fridge/freezer columns.

Beautiful.

Holy cow! You really opened up the space! It's lovely and I adore your large island. All your choices came together beautifully. Great job!! :)

Details on products used. Very nice job.

Great transformation! I especially love the table! Would love to see product details, especially interested in the Stainless shelf over your range,

Wow. I love before and afters. What an amazing difference. I hope you love the set up because it is almost exactly our set up and we are super happy with it. I wish we had the 2 DW like you have and that pretty window. You must be over the moon.

It looks really nice! I think you made all the right choices. Love the blue accents, and the shelf above the range.

That's really beautiful! I love your selections!

I like this area, it's bright, it has interesting detail and it looks functional. Great job.

Beautiful!

Beautiful!! I especially like your island. Great job.

Totally classic. Love it!

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing it with us. Enjoy!

Lovely!! Great job!

Beautiful!

Did you remove the left wall? Can you provide more details?

Who wouldn't like to sit at your breakfast table? Love the windows.

You've achieved such a fresh & welcome feel. Congrats & thank you for sharing.

Love it! Have fun cooking. Thanks for the pingback. FYI I'm working on a new kitchen since we had to move (and leave the original Subee's Kitchen behind). Details to follow on my blog. :)

Absolutely gorgeous ! So envious. I see lots of fun times and memories there .

Looks great! Interest in more details too.

I love how open it is! Great concept and execution!

Absolutely beautiful and it looks great to cook in, too. Love the windows!

Gorgeous. It looks so much bigger. Did you remove a wall or two to open it up? I remember suebees kitchen and can see a lot of similar features in yours. Wonderful job! Enjoy....

Did you close off a door to enlarge the L and get rid of the U? There is more space and it looks great!

I like the stainless shelf but with my stove it may block venting.

Looks terrific!

Just beautiful!

I like everything,but especially the eating nook with the windows. I would love something like that but I have no room.

more details in post edited above. Thanks for all of the compliments. we love it, and it is very functional. we cook nightly and now have room for multiple simultaneous cooks!

Thank you!

Could you tell me how wide your kitchen is now, i.e. how far you moved the outside wall? How wide are your aisles?

Beautiful job! Enjoy!

If I had seen the before picture first, I would have thought it was a nice kitchen and questioned the need for a remodel. But, well, your after photos took my breath away. Not just nice, but GORGEOUS!!! Seriously fantastic choices and a more functional layout to boot. Enjoy!

Went back to start. Bearing wall removed with the new kitchen extending beyond or new addition. Love the size of the kitchen.

Beautiful! Your pendants look perfect, what size are they? Mine are the same, I only have two, and still wonder if I should've gotten the larger size. But it took 3 shipments to end up with 2 unbroken lights, was your experience better?

Oooh, I love that chandelier! Beautiful kitchen!

Very pretty!

Pendants are 12 inch. We were going to do 2 15 inch pendants but one of the exposed ceiling beams blocked correct placement, we purchased through Fergeson, no issues with breakage I like how it turned out. The aisles widths are 49 inches in the cook/prep space, 44 inches behind the set of 2 stools and 39 inches at the cleanup sink. All distances are counter edge to counter edge. The space we added is about 6x8 feet. I'll have to pull the plans to ft the total width.

Beautiful Kitchen data! Would you mind tell me what size is your island.

Island is 64x98 inches.

Thanks for the measurements. Really appreciate this!

What cabinet hardware did you use? Thanks

Absolutely beautiful, warm and inviting! Congratulations!

Cabinet hardware is Top Knobs Chareau collection in Polished Nickle.

Excellent job. Great decision to create a wonderful new space. Love the look you have achieved. How much overhang at the island seating area? I'm curious, why virtually no drawers in the lower cabinets?

EDIT: on second look, maybe there are actually more drawers than my first impression, and there are only a few door opening cabinets.

beautiful! Do you like the shelf above your range? I have been trying to decide if I want this or what to do.
