What a lovely job!!!

To say that this is much improved is an understatement.

Great!!!

Gorgeous! The updated schoolhouse pendants are perfect.

Thats the same kitchen? Unreal. Congrats to you!

wow nice job !!

Thank you for all your nice comments. I posted in the www.brownstoner.com recently and there was nothing but negative commentary. Under Insider Bay Ridge home renovation.

Wow...Negative comments? It's fabulous, and as long as you love it, that's all that matters. Gorgeous!

My goodness, what an improvement! Beautiful remodel.

Negative comments?? Those people must be idiots! You did a great renovation !

What a lovely kitchen! And the pendants are fantastic!

The pendant lighting is from rejuvenation lighting.

Gorgeous!!

Do you find the dark countertops difficult to maintain ? The renovation is gorgeous by the way.

Lovely! So clean and bright! Can find NO negatives in this redo...

very nice, the brownstoners ate some sour grapes. the lights are cool

A beautiful transformation! Great colors!

beautiful renno!

very pretty. love it.

Great, great job!!!!

I have a black galaxy granite counter top in my master bathroom and that is very difficult to maintain. Water spots, contact lens solution, toothpaste, everything shows a lot. I will never get a dark counter again.

Beautiful!

Very nice, the lighting is a fun touch. I think the corner with the coffee pot looks boxed in. Maybe this wasn't avoidable. But overwrite, great space.

Wow. Amazing job. The new kitchen looks very classy and beautiful. Looks great. Was this DIY?

Beautiful job! Looks amazing!

A very nice transformation. I hope those old cabts. went to a deserving re-use outlet or a needy shop/garage in your community?

Wow! Fantastic job!

I have a solid black granite counter and island in my kitchen and love it. I have has it now for maybe 15 years and it still looks as good as new. I find it very easy to keep clean and shiny.

Very beautiful----great job!

Çok güzel olmuş ellerinize sağlık

Overall it is beautiful! A big improvement! My only concern is the cabinetry flanking the cooktop. It seems to me that having them so close would be a fire hazard, not to mention that having the heat so close might damage the wood/discolor the paint.

Good job. It looks like the window was moved or you have different pictures taken. But it looks great.

Looks great!

Beautiful job. I especially like your cabinet configuration to create furniture-like units, and appropriate use of crown moulding at the ceiling level.

Beautiful!

Wow! Very nicely done. Would you like to come over and help me with mine? uggg.

Amazing!

Pretty, pretty!

With new cabinets, color and lighting, even a small kitchen can look great!... looks clean, neat, luxurious!.. all in one small space!...nice!

Love that layout...not cookie cutter.

Very nice! Much, much better.

Holy cow! Nice work.

Those pendant lights are fantastic! We are big fans of that look!

So elegant!

Not sure which is my favourite part. Love it all!

What is the backsplash? counter top name.... cabinet color... Linen perhaps?
LOVE IT!

Wow! What a beautiful transformation!

Love it

The countertops are antique brown granite. It was a special slab from European importers in Sunset Park Brooklyn. The cabinet color is not linen it is cream with onyx glaze. The tile for the backsplash is bubbles (glass and crema marfil MARBLE) FROM WWW.GALACTIC-TILES.COM. We started out in NYC with my architect at Nemos, Saks, etc. The finishes were out of budget because alot of $$ had to go into repairing this 110 year home from the foundation up so I kept finishes simple. I went for higher appliances cause do cook and I do respect the opinion regarding the cooktop close to the cabinets, as my architect and granite guy wanted to move them. But I was tired, had two properties impacted hurricane sandy and i was with change order. thank you all for such constructive comments. i am partial to dark countertops and i use a mild soap on them and they shine.

Additionally, i love the cooking configuration as it gives me lots of room to move around and it feels private in the little nook i created. i added that window at last minute so the sink is more in line with the wine area. it works okay for me.
