Our New Kitchen!!!

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

See before & after pictures of our kitchen. When i first seen the kitchen in this house I couldn't have possibly imagined that it would turn out how it has. It was so dark & dreary. The cabinets over the sink actually covered up the window. We increased the size of the window & boxed out the wall where the back door was & we got amazing results with such a bright open space. We just love it.!

    I can't even believe that is the same space. The before pictures are SO bad and the after pictures are SO good! You must be thrilled :)

      Gorgeous. Interesting in parts like the cabinets, while keeping the tile simple. Also the layout of the floor tile looks great and works well in this space.

      Beautiful transformation! What is the approximate cost of your kitchen? I am looking for a house where I can possibly remodel the kitchen the way I would like to. Thank you :)

      Thank you, it's a 12 x 24 Porcelain Tile called Rondine Mystique Black. We decided that the Herringbone Style would suit the kitchen shape. This tile retails at approx. $4 per SF. We purchased from Tiles Unlimited in Queens NY. They're fantastic.

      @Ula W The cabinetry cost approximately $40K. The Kitchen Hood was a custom design so that drove up the cost. Our friend was installing the kitchen so we were able to spend more on the materials that we were saving on labor.

      You must be "over the moon" when you cook. The materials you have chosen are beautiful, and your new layout must giveyou a sigh of relief. I hate working in a kitchen that doesn't work well functionally. Congratulations.

      Great job! Love the wine fridge and microwave in the island!! Did you do the design or have a general contractor? If you don't mind what was your total cost?
