    Wow! Big transformation! The new cabinets and counter look great. Love the new lights! The peninsula looks way more functional than the island was. Beautiful!

    Very pretty! Love your glass top cabinets and your countertop!

    A few things I really wanted like the glass top cabinets, a double oven, and more prep space. Hubby talked me into the quartz counters. They are great for baking. Love my pendants. Tnaks for all the great feedback.

    Great job! And it’s fancy enough for me. I really love the lights especially.

    Thanks. My husband built this house almost 30 years ago...that old kitchen put in its time and was ready for an upgrade.

    It looks pretty fancy to me. I love your colors and that gorgeous peninsula.

    I said nothing fancy because a lot of what I see here are kitchens twice the size of mine with supersized appliances. I love my new kitchen and glad others think its nice too.

    Lovely new kitchen, but it looks amazing when just the under/top cabinet lights are on, wow!!!

    That's lovely. And it looks pretty fancy to me, esp with the pendants and the fridge!

    How wonderful that you're updating the house that your husband built all those years ago : ) .

    As others before me have said, you've got plenty of fancy in your new space. The pendants...WOW!! Love them. And good for you going with a peninsula. I'm envious of all that counter space. Enjoy!

    Looks so great! You must be so pleased having that huge expanse of the peninsula to work on! Congrats on an awesome, functional transformation - and thanks for sharing!

    Stephanie, beautiful kitchen! What type of lighting did you use for inside and under the cabinets? LED? If so, do you know if they are 3,000, 4200, or higher?

    Really nice. How did you come up with the layout? It really made it a 1000% times bigger without really changing the footprint.

    This was my inspiration tile, http://www.amestile.com/maclg312.

    But in the end i found a better white match at home depot. Unfortunately I can't find it on their website.

    Unfortunately I'm not sure of the lumens of our under-cabinet and in-cabinet lighting. It is LED and was supplied by our cabinet maker.

    The change in layout was actually my idea, I really wanted a bigger fridge and more counter space, ran it past DH and he was onboard. After a few consults with different cabinet companies who had done 3D renderings for us we felt that it was doable. The cabinet maker we ended up going with, A-Line Euro Custom Cabinets, really helped with tweaking my idea and making it work. He did really good work and narrowed the depth of the peninsula cabinets to give a deeper overhang on the peninsula. Our overhang is 10" but it is plenty of leg room, it was only going to be 8" but i was ok with it because it is not a seating area used often only a few times a year for large family gatherings and its where the kids sit, plenty of room for them. He also adjusted the upper cabinet height from a standard 30" to 27 1/2" to create a better balance between the the top glass door cabinets and the uppers because our ceilings are 8'.

    Fantastic transformation! A beautiful place to cook and bake. I can imagine you are going to love this space. I think the lighted cabinets are lovely. What is the paint color that you used it goes perfectly with the counters and the gorgeous tile?

  • 8 years ago

    Love it all, but my favorite is the stand alone unit (near the patio door?) that's now sleek and built-in, with lots more room, I bet.

  • 8 years ago
    It’s absolutely beautiful and you and hubby should be proud of your new space. I especially love that you have a 10” overhang on your peninsula because I just caught flack from a Houzz “pro” for having the same thing on the island in my recently renovated kitchen. She actually wanted us to tear out the custom walnut counter we had just installed!!!
  • 8 years ago
    The 10" overhang is plenty for my family, unless you are 6'6", which none of us are it is perfectly functional.
