BEAUTIFUL!

Love the new floors! Is that real wood?

Thank you!! - Yes, they are 5" oak, water popped and stained with a mixture of 25% Ebony and 75% Provincial. You can see below we did many samples before picking

WOW!!! Gorgeous! I LOVE your BACKSPLASH!!!

I love everything about it...including your fluffy cat in the kitchen picture! So cute.

Lovely transformation! But I'm really curious about your original kitchen. What era was it? One side looked a bit like a 1950's diner, but the built in appliances on the other side made it look newer. Was it a modern kitchen trying to look vintage?

Beautiful transformation! Kudos!

Crazy good. What a great eye for design and usage of space. Exceptional attention to detail. Well done...

What is the backsplash? It looks like glass...

The tile is a 4x8 pillow cut diamond in white. It may be from Cobsa(?) It does give off a great shimmer.

absolutely gorgeous! love the colors

Feeny - The house is in Central NJ and was built in '80 as a center hall colonial. I honestly don't know what feel they were trying to achieve. The former cabs were well constructed. Some of the appliances were updated but the space was small - 12' x 16'. We lived with it for 3 yrs before we started construction. It helped us learn what we wanted in our new space.

Thanks for the info, shalago. It was a bit of a mystery to me--channeling that vintage 1950's diner vibe, but with details and condition not looking original. A curious choice for an 80's colonial! Your transformation, OTOH, looks not only beautiful, but also well-conceived for the space.

feeny- thank you! The style actually looked very 80's/90's with the white lacquered cabinets/ track lighting and black granite. That was the style of decorating a while ago I guess!

It looks FANTASTIC good job on the renovation!

Love that you were able to open up all that space yet still maintained so much character in each space/room. Very nice!

Thank you for all the comments!

So much to love in this new space! Gorgeous! Well done!

Nice transformation!

Love the white cabinets!!! I made a mistake of deciding on a "fancy white" which infact looks a little yellow! However, I'm making some furniture choices now. Where are the dining room table and the console under your TV from? Everything is just beautiful!!! Enjoy!!!

Beautiful!

Jule82- thank you! the kitchen/dining table is from Restoration Hardware. But beware: The table is UNFINISHED. We were under the impression that this particular table was finished. When we received it, we immediately got it polyed in a matte finish. It did not change the color or look of the table- we were pleasantly surprised. Having a table with small kids unfinished was not an option or us so putting several coats of poly on it made a big difference in maintenance. If you don't poly it and it's left unfinished, you cannot wipe it or clean it with a wet sponge. The console under the TV is a Llillian August pc.

Thank you for getting back to me AND for the advice ;). Your home really is just beautiful! Everything fits so well together. Did you work with a designer? I'm having such trouble coordinating furniture- and I absolutely HATE "sets" lol. All the pieces in your home compliment each other so nicely without being "matchy, matchy"

you're welcome. I know how it is on houzz when you have a question and nobody replies. Frustrating! We did not use a designer. The kitchen and dining area we did on our own. The owner of the place where we picked all of the furniture pcs in the family room worked with us in making decisions and picking fabrics/etc....

Love the dinette and wingback chairs. Beautiful space!!!!

Stunning Well Done!!!

Very nice!

Woot! So fancy.....

Looks fantastic! Where is the ottoman from? The size is perfect.

mgreen1 - The ottoman is a Vanguard. It's 5' x 5' square. perfectly large so everyone can rest their feet up. We chose fabric, nail heads, etc. TX!

This is stunning! Classy and inviting at the same time, my style all the way!

So very, very pretty. If only I could just walk through my computer screen and enjoy a glass of wine, it would be even better!

Shalago, you have exquisite taste. Your remodel is just gorgeous!

Beautiful transformation. Looks like a lot of time was spent on this renovation!

This is stunning. We are breaking ground on our home in about 6 weeks. I love your style! I'm also planning and designing the entire thing myself. What are your counter tops? And thanks for the reply's; I see you keep on top of it. :)

Whitney- the counter tops are quartzite- Classic White, very similar look to Carrera.

Love your backsplash in your kitchen can you tell me about it

WOW...what a well done transformation! I would love to sit down and enjoy a coffee ,so inviting.Not much not to love with this one.Enjoy!!

Such a BEAUTIFUL space! WOW

Wow, it's amazing! Great job! :)

you did an amazing job! Love the backsplash too - can you share purchasing info? It is so unique! I also wanted to ask what stone you have surrounding your fireplace? Thanks!!

Wow! Can't believe this is the same kitchen!

love it!

Nikkispade - The backsplash is a 4x8 pillow cut diamond in white. The manufacturer may be Cobsa. We found it in a back room of a tile supplier in central, NJ when my husband went to use the restroom. He brought it up front and they did a search. It was pure luck and it is the first thing people comment on when they enter. For the fireplace we used 1x2 venatino marble. We were particular in searching for marble sourced from Italy. For us it made all the difference in the coloring, veining and character. Good Luck and Thank you!!!

Wow! What an incredible find! I did a Cobsa search but couldn't find that tile on their website... maybe it was discontinued? I wont give up though :) Thanks for all of your help, it is very much appreciated!!

WOW! From drab to fab... So Inspiring! Loving the combo dark flrs, white cabinets and the backsplash! Great job, enjoy!!!

I love those Oak floors!

Looks so great! The countertops, and lighting, and flooring...everything!

Hi! I know you completed your project a while ago, but I’m curious how you like your countertops? They are beautiful and exactly what we are looking for. Unfortunately a lot of our local stone places don’t carry this “classic white”. Hoping I can hunt them down. Thanks, and you did a lovely job on your home remodel :)
