Finished kitchen w/ "modern craftsman" inspiration (pictures)

I found this group helpful, so I wanted to pay it forward and share some pictures of our kitchen now that we've been living in it for a few months. I'll list materials here, and if anyone has any questions about what we do/don't like, I'll try to come back and answer.

I'm an at-home mom, so my kitchen is open for 4 meals a day. I cook almost every meal from scratch (thank you Cook Smarts!). I'm really pleased with my layout, particularly the OTR microwave! I lost a lot of sleep over the granite, but I LOVE the finished product. The pendants and granite make me smile every single day!

    Wonderful! Your space looks so efficient, which is exactly what you need for 4 meals per day. I really like the open shelves under the cabinets, so handy. Do you have a measured drawing you can share? I need to finalize our island, and I see some helpful ideas in yours.

    You have an amazing aesthetic. OMG, the granite is gorgeous. Looks like an appaloosa horse.

    VERY nice. Good light and great space.

    Where have I seen that rug/runner before? Wasn't there something similar in another thread about searching for the perfect runner for her hallway? : )

    The two tone cabinets with the granite work beautifully together and I'm in love with your floors. Great pendants!

    Ok so now that you posted here, when the heck are you going to post the finished, decorated house on the building a home forum?

    @laughablemoments -- here's a diagram with measurements. Hope this helps with your project!

    @cpartist -- I have tried to take pictures of the house to share on the group, but we have so many darn windows that it's impossible to get "good lighting" with my cell phone camera! I need to have a friend with a real camera come take some snapshots for me. :)

    This is awesom. Love the tot room and the view. Can you post pictures of the pop-up outlets? Also, can you give the dimensions of your island, including overhangs? I read through your other threads, but maybe I missed this information. This seems to really fit your location.

    @benjesbride you'll find some floor plans and in-progress pictures over there, but I haven't had a chance to take good pictures of the finished project yet! :)

    I've been fussing about how to handle the cabinets where my fridge used to be. 48" of space, but I want an upper microwave. Now, I think I'm going to copy you to the T!

    Just beautiful and so well coordinated. It's obvious you put a ton of thought in to your space.

    Enjoy it!

    arialvetica!! How clever of you to post a message in one of my old threads to get this to me! I was thrilled to see your reveal and it did not disappoint. Absolutely gorgeous and you stuck with your "Apaloosa" granite (sorry if i spelled that wrong). ;) I love how it all turned out. It looks fresh and modern.


    So much to love in your kitchen like the stools and "bench stool" (never seen one of those before!) and the stain on the cabinets. Those pendants are my favourite feature though - they were the first thing I noticed. What a statement they make!

    Congrats on the new home and please update us whenever you're ready to share the rest of your home reveal!!

    wonderful compact island kitchen.Smart idea to tie the backsplash and counters with the same material.....pulls it all together......very wise due to angled ceiling height and large open space.....you achieved anchoring effect with the stone.....I like the pick of granite with pattern....it gives your "stamp" and you weren't shy about it. The space seems so inviting..you'll have a lot of action in your open kitchen.

    @macswim, it was part of a new build. We met with architects in Sept 2015, broke ground in Feb 2016, and moved in Aug 2016. :)

    Thanks for the photos! I'd been following your build, the beginning of which overlapped with the end of mine. Plus--Black Hills, my home stomping ground. Your kitchen looks great.
