Very Nice! Ilove the light fixture over the sink.

It is a shame they didn't take the opportunity to add any color.....

It is beautiful. I love the ceiling and the openness

That is a dramatic change, and hugely effective. Very charming kitchen.

Can you change the ceiling vent to wood? Ditto on the dishwasher door.

Most people find lovely wood floors under ugly flooring...You were really blessed! BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Great job. Tell me about your cabinets. Lovin the color. Ditto....KITCHEN ENVY. P.S. Those upper cabinets are killing me (Ima do this to mine.)

absolutely gorgeous!!!!!

I love it! The ceiling is great and the space looks so much larger.

wow, what a transformation!

Beautiful trasformation! Great work!

So lovely. As for the lack of color in a comment above, they can always add accessories and a rug if they choose, but I like it just as it is.

Warm and inviting. Sophisticated with clean lines. Very nice

Wonderful Warmth! Very nice job!

Beautiful! What does the rest of the kitchen look like :)

It's really beautiful. I love the white and you can add color with a basket of lemons, peppers, whatever!

Beautiful renovation. Can the wood used on the ceiling be used on the floor? Love it!

Wow. Beautiful. Lucky you with finding that ceiling.

Was the wood floor found under the tiles or was it installed?

Wonderful transformation - I love that you added the wood strip ceiling - Enjoy

You did a great job... Congratulations!

Well done! Nice change :)

Wow! Wonderful transformation! You did a superb job with your kitchen remodel.

Nancy- the wood floors were added to match the hardwoods.

Finding that great wood ceiling under the sheetrock would be like winning the lottery for me!!

I can't believe this one!! I'm in shock with the beautiful ceilings, what a great surprise for you. Stunning!! Absolutely stunning. Paired with the light color of cabinetry, I love this!

Absolutely love the choice to connect the two rooms by cutting out the way.

such a warm and inviting job- love the wooded ceiling.
I guess that you should check houzz more often bro- the clients are obviously crazy about the environments that you create. Nice that it showed up when you were showing Betty- maybe that will motivate her to do more searching on her own

A beautiful transformation...and great discovery on that ceiling! Enjoy!

The wooded ceiling seems to be a growing trend--used in Scandinavian modern designs--surely great consideration for people who want wood but uneasy having wood counters or floors. It looks like you expanded the room giving an opening--nice idea. The windowpanes and glass door cabinets are perfect together. Is it the lighting or are the cabinets actually a warm white? The cup pulls add to the comfortable feel..

Wonderful! I love how you've opened up the space.

We love to discover shiplap sheathing in our Central Austin projects! In the "after" photo, you can even see the shadow of the kitchen wall we removed, where decades of smoke and grease from the cooking had discolored the pine.

Yes, it looks amazing, especially the wood ceiling :)

Beautiful, and love the ceiling...

Love it Love it Love it Love it. Such an awesome find on the ceilings! why would anyone have covered them up to begin with?!

Shiplap, with a burlap fabric covering was the way a lot of homes in Austin were finished out until builders started using drywall in the 1940's. Most of the homes with shiplap interiors had drywall installed sometime in their lives as a defense against the phenomenal amount of air infiltration that got past the shiplap, and because the shiplap was perceived as trashy.
With modern insulation, it's pretty easy to expose some of the shiplap in an an old house to add some texture and color and have a bit of history showing. We're salvaging some of the material from homes that are being torn down, too, so we can put it in houses that weren't fortunate enough to have some to start with. Here's a photo of some vintage shiplap I just added to my kitchen as we tweaked it to extend its life/beat the ugly out of it (it's on the right, behind the wire rack).

Looks wonderful. The wood on the ceiling gives the room a great unique touch.

AWESOME remodel.

So neat and nice. Love!!

May I ask the name of the manufacturer and style of the cabinet pulls?

Saundra- I wish I had a cool answer for you, but I found them at Home Depot! :)

Yes, that's a great remodel. The kitchen looks amazing. It's light and airy now. Nice update.

Much more open and inviting. Looks great!

Seriously awesome!!! Love, love, LOVE the ceiling!!! Add me to the kitchen envy list :)

Great job, you are lucky to have such a great ceiling!

This looks amazing! The look is up to date but still classic! Awesome.

Wow, looks great! Nice work!

Fantastic job!!!!

Looks great!

Great renovations.
