Modern kitchen remodel in Colorado, before & after

10 years ago

After living with the original kitchen (built in 1979) for almost 15 years after moving in, we took the plunge and remodelled last year to a more modern/contemporary/mid-century look (take your pick). Cabinets are cherry from Showplace, Krause sink & Danze faucet, GE induction range & Zephyr hood, white subway-like backsplash tile & gray plank floor tile. Countertops are Pental Quartz.

    Much better! Love the waterfall counter top. Am curious, though, what ever would you use that plug for that's plopped in the middle of it and right in the aisle? Would you rethink that?

    Nice update!

    @caterry in the old kitchen there was also a plug there, which we did use quite a bit for kitchen appliances or laptop. So it was a natural choice for us to retain it, but with an upgraded one which has 2 USB charging ports as well. Yes, ideally, it would've been nice to have the waterfall 'untouched', but at the price of a much-used convenience.

    Rajan Thampi very nice job love the changes made and the big sink and faucet. We went with similar choices and we also did it after 15 years of builder grade

    I love the countertops.

    Nicely done! Re outlet, before our K reno, we had peninsula, sans elegant waterfall countertop, & it had outlet in precisely same place, per code as there are max distances betw. outlets. Only way around it is surface-mounted pop-up outlet, but the under-cabinet cylinder that houses outlet when down creates interferences w/ drwrs, which then have to be modified. I had considered these for island, but our CKD talked me out of it for reasons stated. Glad she did.

    @Elizabeth Jennings, we love the GE induction range. It's super quick to boil water (or anything for that matter), and the safety factor is a big plus since it switches off automatically if there's nothing on the stove in contact with it. It's a breeze to clean. Heat is consistent all around whether cooking or baking. Of course you need induction compliant pots and pans for the stove, but we easily got those at Ikea for a reasonable price. I will say I miss the 'analogue' subtleties of being able to adjust/dial in the flame size on a gas range, and whenever I pick up the pan from the stove to toss/shake the contents, there's no flame underneath that continues to heat the pan. All the controls are digital, including the heat increments (they step up/down in half increments from 1 to 10). But overall, it has not made me regret the decision to go induction.

    Looks good so far! What color will you be using as accent on your counters to give that pop of interest you need?

    Nice kitchen. Love the cabinets. Can you please share the type of wood, stain and the make?

    @my2scents Renovation was complete a year ago. What you see is the final product.

    @Dream Cabinets are full-overlay cherry wood with a natural satin finish from Showplace. The style is called Vienna.
