My long-awaited Dream kitchen

13 years ago
When we bought this house 11 years ago we did a lot of renovations to bring it up to date but left the kitchen, supposedly for just a "few" years. Finally, after 11 years it is done. We went from old 80's oak to beautiful dark cherry.

    Beautiful! You should be proud!

    Wow! I'm not a fan of stainless appliances but they look great next to the dark cherry cabinets. Good job! Was it worth the wait?

    Definately worth the wait. Originally we were going to refinish the parquet flooring for what we thought were "practical" reasons, with the wait we thought it through more carefully and re-did the floors to character Hickory. So glad we did. As for the rest, now that it's done, yes, it was worth the wait. I appreciate it greatly. As for the stainless, I was a little afraid of the upkeep but I love them, not difficult to keep clean at all.

    The wood on the island is fantastic! Where id you get it? And your granite is gorgeous. What color is it?
  • 13 years ago
    The island is actually an antique store counter that we already had, we re-painted it to match the new kitchen. The wood on the top is the original wood. Granite is typhoon bordeaux - it is even more beautiful in person.

    Well done! What is color the island cabinet? Looks like a shade of green, mint maybe? Enjoy!

    Beautiful. I am getting hickory Tuscany for the kitchen flooring. One question for u is this engineered floor and if so did u glue it down or use click and lock? Is it making any cracking sound. Thanks

    beautiful blending of materials. good choice to replace parquet and to use the vintage island.
    this kitchen was certainly worth the wait.

    What an attractive place for meal preparation and family dining. Is the sparkling subway tile ceramic or glass?

    What a beautiful remodel...get some rest and enjoy!

    How pretty change it is! Love the floor,and the carpet,and the island!!
  • 13 years ago
    The island paint colour is Benjamin Moore Tapenade - not a mint in person a mid green on the olive tones perhaps.
    The hickory floor is 3/4" solid hardwood, not engineered. It is tongue and groove, no glue. No cracking sounds.
    The subway tile is ceramic, hand cast so it has a bit of a wave to it and crackles showing.

    Love your pendant lights above the island. Well done - enjoy!
  • 13 years ago
    Looked long and hard for lighting. Pendants over island and sink came from West Elm. Drum Chandelier over table (which you can't really see in this picture) from overstock.com. Shipped to Canada and was still a good deal.

    I should mention that this custom kitchen was done by Lloyd Scott Enterprises out of Alma, Ontario. Granite from Top Shop in London, Ontario, Flooring from Grand River Flooring, Tile from Casa Bella in Kitchener.

    This turned out absolutely beautiful! What a great vision you had! It really looks like a designer kitchen. Love the island with the pendant lights..... but overall, it really is dreamy!

    Did you have to remove the subfloor after removing the wood? Any tips on doing this?

    This is really super, good things are worth waiting for!
  • 13 years ago
    den135 we didn't remove the subfloor, just re-screwed it to get rid of the old creaks.
