I love the trim! This is my kinda kitchen.

Beautiful! So classic! And love the artwork in the kitchen!

Very nice!

Beautifully done, mushcreek! Do I spy a cow towel? :) Would you please share your wall color? It looks like it might be a gray that reads green (or vice versa). TY.

ETA: Duh...towel cow!

Wow! That looks so different, and great too!

I think it looks great! We just decided on subway tile ourselves. Outlet covers yes that is a good idea although I did not notice it until it was mentioned.

I like the trim. Looks great!

Can you please take a close-up photo of the tile near hood/trim? I'd like to see what you're talking about with edges. Thank you!

It's wonderful, and I love the chair rail trim.

This is very pretty! I love the windows and how the number of upper cabinets is reduced - great open feel.

I had two sets of cabinets come together in a similar corner in my basement kitchenette and built some shelves between them. Is the open corner space for something in particular?

It’s beautiful! Enjoy it in the best of health.

Oh, yes, the trim was absolutely the best choice, along with the towel-n-twine cow. I love your kitchen. Has it really been two years?

Looove iiit! What’s the tentative plan for the hood?

The corner in the pic is our prep corner. The counter is maple, although I haven't brought myself to cut on it yet. There's nothing underneath so you can sit and do prep work.

There are no uppers in our kitchen at all. Around to the left is the main sink, a huge 43" double bowl with a big window (with a mountain view) over it. I only took the one picture, as the other side of the kitchen had stuff piled all over it as I moved stuff to grout the tile.

Good point on the outlet covers. Those are supposed to match the tin ceiling, but they're not a good match, and I've never been satisfied with them.

The original plan on the hood was to add a bit more edge trim and paint it to match the cabinets. The plywood it's built from is attractive enough that we might just put a clear finish on it and leave it natural. I can always paint over it if we don't like the results.

Perfect choice on the backsplash. It looks great!

Love the subway tile and chair rail. The grain on the plywood hood cover really is striking, and the warmth of the wood looks like it ties in with your artwork on the right real. I can see why you're considering putting a clear finish on it.

The tile looks great. It works perfectly with your kitchen. My first thought was to paint the hood black.

Great choice! Looks fabulous!

Mushcreek,

Late question, I don't know if you'll see this. Love your kitchen! How are your Basalt Slate counters holding up? Specifically with scratches or water damage?

So far (about three years) they're holding up fine.
