Closer up backsplash by stove

backsplash and counter are the same.. LG Viatera Soprano Quartz.. we love it.. it looks great (to me) and I like the fact that the counter and backsplash do not compete with each other.. still need to install the vent hood, crown, cabinet panels, bottom of upper cabinet trim and lighting, range, plate covers, etc..

Wow...into the 21st century...very nice seletion choices...just the updated lighting made a huge difference!

The before was charming in it's own right with the cute retro dinette set, but I love the new look. It's very sophisticated. :)

It's beautiful! So nice to see a warm kitchen not a cold sterile white.. love dark cabinets

Some more kitchen pics - I’m loving my microwave drawer & crystal doorknobs for pantry & closet..

Absolutely beautiful. and yes, isn't the drawer microwave awesome?

Really like the new cabinets that you chose for your kitchen. Great job!

WOW you went from light to DARK in your cabinetry. You were ready for a change. How lucky to not have a soffit to fight with.

Really pretty! I love my microwave drawer too. I like the new floors you put in!

Looks great!

Happy to see someone else use a corner angle cabinet in a current remodel. I got chastised about that my in my layout when soliciting feedback because it's so "outdated".

Curious, what is your ceiling height?

I love how even though you went from light cabinets to dark the kitchen is now much brighter and an over all much happier space! A great visual for those who think a bright kitchen can only be achieved by painting cabinets white. Good lighting and lighter counters achieve a brighter look better than just painting cabinets lighter. Nice work!

Great work!

Sink installed
Love the utensil pull out
Close up of quartz - I don’t like the plastic plate covers I have to find something nicer..
Ceiling height is 9 feet
I’m amazed that the kitchen looks bigger as we added the extra buffet cabinets where the water bottle used to be.. maybe when the table is done it will feel smaller..

I got the utensil pull out too. It’s great! I keep my spices in there too. Nice kitchen.

Oh what a breath of fresh air! Dark cabinets look so nice and elegant. Where did you purchase these from?

Hubby and I are in the planning stages of our kitchen reno and we are highly considering dark cabinets. We’re hoping they don’t darken the room too much, but as I was reading here, lighting can make such a difference.

I’m loving the utensil cab as well as the corner one! So nice! Beautiful counters as well. Congrats

thank you everyone.. am i supposed to link everyones name to my post? i think houzz needs a 'reply' thingy like the like, save and thank you to make it easier to reply to posts..

the kitchen does get a lot of natural light - the window is 72 x 72 - we lowered the window to 1" above counter height and it really opens up the kitchen, the patio door is 60 x 80 plus light filters in from the family room.

we had the pot lights installed - 5 of them and they give a lot of light to the room as well when needed;

cabinets are AMERICAN WOODMARK from Home Depot - the wood is Maple and the color is Truffle / shaker style and we paid extra for solid wood boxes & shelves -

the uppers are 30 + 18 boxes i think; our ceiling height is 9 feet - the crown on the cabinets is about 5 inches...

i like having the angle corner upper - had one years ago and there is plenty of room for stuff inside - I don't think it is outdated - i think it depends on the kitchen - it works for us -

the counter is LG Viatera Quartz 'Soprano' and I felt that having the same counter and backsplash would make the kitchen look less busy and has subtle movement - not an in your face pattern..

I think the light floors and light counters offset the dark cabinets.. we still need to install the vent hood and finish the under cabinet light rail and lights as well... kitchen light fixture is being replaced as well but i am waiting for the new table to see what would look best..

thank you again!! I will post more progress pics and then some other when the rest of the 1st floor is done.. we ended up gutting the entire 1st floor..

Love the transformation! Really like that the cabinets are darker and they go all the way to the ceiling! Looks sharp!

Some more photos - slow going as were busy running our biz.. still gave boxes to unpack, furniture to buy, doors to install.. little by little..

Getting lights up

Looks fabulous!

fifamom I have a question. Are your cabinets reversed raised panel? Meaning the center panel?

Look at arrow.

Or are they

To answer question -
American Woodmark
Shaker style - inset edge not flat but beveled
Solid maple wood
