@AvatarWalt So many favorites! I love the hybrid peninsula/table. I love seeing my pottery and everyday china. I love the five drawer base cabinet, those 8” deep drawers hold so many serving pieces! I love having all the drawers, easy access so I’ll use what I have. I love the color. I love my sink. I have a walk in pantry next to the kitchen that was done a couple of years ago, and without that, this would have been a very different kitchen. Gosh, picking A favorite would be like picking a favorite child! Every inch of this was my design, even though I worked with a designer.

Fabulous!

Congrats on the awesome renovation! Really fantastic choices! Love a good before & after =)

It looks beautiful. It looks so authentic like it's always been there (in a GOOD way). Just beautiful.

Love it.

Beautiful kitchen! I love the color and the functionality! The bigger opening with less cabinets on that wall really makes a big difference. Nicely done!

Really beautiful! Love the green :)

Back with more questions! What is your countertop and do you like your ledge sink? Did you go from double bowl to single? If so, was it hard to adjust to single?

lizbeth, all the sources are in a comment upstream. I had a double bowl before. This is not really a ledge sink, but I love it. I use it often if I’m mixing or measuring, I do it in the rack so spills can just be hosed down. I had wanted a double sink again until I saw this sink.

@salonva, that might be one of the nicest things you could say about a new kitchen! Thank you!

Gorgeous upgrade! Good job!

Love what you have done. One question, is that a microwave over cooktop. If yes does it vent and what brand is it?

Really pretty! I love the backsplash especially. A unique way to have a lower backsplash but the top trim piece makes it look more refined.

I don't see the list of materials....is that Corian?

Wow, love it! I have very similarly-colored cabinets, so of course I'm biased! :)

I love the larger opening to the dining area, and how light and bright the whole space is; but, mainly I love that your kitchen is its own separate room. I'm so over the cavernous open floorplans that have you cooking right behind the sofa!

@bikertoni Yes, it’s a low profile microwave by Whirlpool. It vents out or recirculates. They have more than one model,

Donna, the list was posted Saturday, up in comments. Yes, it’s Corian, but a product that just came out in 2018.

Gorgeous!!

It's really nice. And I agree, that table is perfect, as is all your color choices.

Janet, I absolutely LOVE your kitchen ! so beautiful !

I missed this when first posted! Love your kitchen! It's a remarkable improvement. The cabinetry color is amazing as well as the wall color - so inviting; love your wall-oven height; love your cabinet handles... The table/island is a fantastic addition - and love the wood top on it. Love, love love! So much to look at and enjoy... I'm sure you've already created some fantastic memories here!

Thank you! It really is a pleasure to use now.

What a great job. It’s beautiful. Congrats

Gorgeous!! The Cabinets and the color are great!! One of the best kitchen remodels I've seen!

Love it. Another sucker for green.

I want to use white corian in my laundry update as it seems “warmer” than white quartz. But someone on gw said the white corian would also be cold. Yours appears to have a less slick look than a quartz. What is your impression in person?

Beautiful work. Congrats! Such a nice palette, and a refreshing departure from the all-too-common white on white. It’s warm and inviting and looks functional too!

i love that you bought the clock as a gift. I was going to ask about it. I love a big kitchen clock. Enjoy!!

Annette, I’m not sure what you mean by warm and cold with the Corian. It is warm to the touch, one of the things I like. I have had more than one worker in here think that it’s quartz. (Maybe because it’s what they are used to seeing). In my kitchen it doesn’t look cold because everything else is warm. It looks bright, crisp and clean.

Janet, thanks, yes I do mean warm to the touch. As well as warm to the eye. It just looks less like polished glass like in the finish, but still crisp. You nailed it! Warm and inviting AND bright and crisp!

Annette, it comes in different sheen levels. This is like a soft matte. It gets a sheen after a while, and I just go over it with a red 3m scrub pad by hand to bring it back to a matte level I like.

Janet- your idea about the Pewabic tiles is great!! Great way to blend old charm and character with your modern redo

Timeless! I love it!

Congrats on your new kitchen - nice work!

Looks Fabulous!

Wow! Looks great. Love the lighting.

I missed this when you posted before. It's beautiful! I love the green!

Oh my, this is a beautiful transformation!

beautiful

Your kitchen is lovely. I have always loved green, I think it is such a pleasing, relaxing, yet homey color. I have been considering the possibility of choosing Corian counters for our remodel that is now in demo stage. We put Corian counters in our kitchen 27 years ago and I can honestly say they were practically bullet-proof. I would not be at all opposed to using Corian again, but here in Southern California (L.A. area) the only place I can find that fabricates Corian is Home Depot, and I worry that it could be "luck of the draw" on getting a skilled installer. It is very surprising to me how limited it is. At several stone yards they sounded surprised that even Home Depot still did Corian. What's the deal I wonder?

your kitchen is gorgeous! the cabinet color makes it a really special space! I love the sink you chose too. I would love to hear your experiences in using it!

Beautiful kitchen! Since you are on an inside wall did you need to set the microwave up as recirculating versus vented? Is it working well for you?

Thank you for the comments, I’m only seeing the last few now, seems random when I get notifications! This is a condo with no option to use any outside venting in the kitchen, so yes, the microwave hood is recirculating. For how I cook, it works okay. I haven’t yet tried burning a steak on high heat in cast iron on the cooktop where I would have heavy smoke. For normal smoke and steam it’s okay.

@Michoumonster, I LOVE my sink!

@ahiastate without meaning to offend anyone, I think there is a bit of stone snobbery that closes eyes to really knowing today’s Corian products. My builder would be one of those with that bias. Stone is truly beautiful to look at, but I don’t like the busyness and care, and the cold hard surfaces. My daughter has it. I also have no visible seams (there are two). There is nothing wrong with loving stone (or quartz) and there is nothing wrong with loving Corian. Personal preference. My husband used a red permanent marker to leave me a note on a thin paper napkin yesterday. It bled through in a spot on my corian cutting board. I didn’t panic for a moment. It took me less than 5 seconds to be rid of it. Turmeric? Bring it on. I just don’t whack things on the edge or put heat on it. It is widely used in commercial settings, so maybe you are looking in the wrong places. The Corian website will show if you have fabricators in your area. Big Box fabricators have an interest in keeping their jobs, and all Corian fabricators have to be trained by Corian. That may be one reason it’s hard to find. Many old fabricators chose to leave it rather than be retrained when it was required. And note, I have the new product that just came out in 2018.

Missed this reveal. Gorgeous kitchen. Classic good looks, warm and inviting. Gray done beautifully, not trendy. As for the Corian, i think it’s cheaper than quartz, so you know which surface the sales folks will push. I love white Corian.

Thank you Zalco! It is a joy to be in, really functionally beautiful as well! The green is called Willow, so is a soft, warm grey green that I love.

I have (Glacier White) Corian as well (installed late last year), and I love it. Nothing stains it. It's easy to wipe and it feels good to my hand. It's not at all "plastic-y" to me. My GC likes it, and my designer does too (I had already decided on solid surface when I hired her). My next door neighbor is a cabinet guy, and he really likes it too. He seemed a little surprised by it. Fabrication and installation were a breeze, for me anyway.

My house was built in 1918 and is in the home of Prairie style buildings, Arts & Crafts, and Craftsman, and my only slight (!) regret is choosing turquoise instead of green for my floor and backsplash. Green would have been more historically accurate, and when I see pictures like yours, well, I am a little envious. Your kitchen is gorgeous and the green is perfect!!

Really great transformation, nicely done. This green tone that you picked bringed everything to life with a nice touch.

Great remodel !!

I love your new kitchen ... use of color, better design!

Love the color. I see you mentioned Willow Green. Which brand of paint? Yours is such a nice gray green.

It’s one of the standard colors from the cabinet manufacturer, so not a branded paint color.
