I've been a long-time lurker here, we are renovating our 1920s home from top to bottom. We finally have our kitchen (mostly) done, save a few trim pieces/touch-up paint/window treatments and a walnut shelf above the baking station to install. We started with a kitchen that was dark and cramped, with a small dining nook at one one end, and we ended up having to tear the nook off the back of the house as it was not structurally sound. Since we had to take off the nook and adjacent 1/2 bath, we went for a full 2-1/2 story addition, that doubled the size of the original kitchen and the bedroom above it. I think we might win the prize of longest reno possible, but I thought I'd share some before and afters. I love, love, love my new range and that everything in the kitchen has a "zone." The floors are 12x24" Turkish limestone, counters are Giallo Napoli granite, main refrigerator is a GE monogram, range is an Aga, and hood is Z-line. Cabinets are all stock sizes from Wolf, and my husband and I built the breakfast bar using pre-made turned legs, and a walnut butcher block from lumber liquidators. The bump in the wall behind the range was done to mask the joining of old to new construction and to allow for the potfiller piping to be located inside the house and not in an exterior wall. I loved the idea of making it look like an old chimney chase was there so we used thin bricks as our backsplash there. The sink is in the same place as the old one for perspective, and the old nook window is where our back breakfast bar is located. I want to thank everyone here for all the inspiring pics, and helpful info!
