I looks great.

You're so right, @AnnKH. Between the few inches of new width of those cabinets and the extra surface on the island, the kitchen has become much more useable.

LOVE the orange around the window and the can feeding station. Such a brilliant idea!

Very fun, thanks for sharing! I stole a screenshot of your cabinet above the ovens.

@jaja06, I got that idea from someone else, too, so I'm glad to "pay it forward". Most of the ones I saw had the uprights on the bottom and a shelf up at the top, but I would never be able to reach it!

Gorgeous tile! (and everything else too)

Beautiful! Great job!

@Lyndee Lee Thank you. I must have ordered 30 samples before I found "the one". To anyone out there planning changes, I encourage you to take your time and pick what you really want instead of settling for "close enough".

It looks like you had fun and got what you wanted. Good for you!! Resale will be interesting to know.

Love it, love the backsplash and your sleek cabinets. I also can appreciate good organizing in the kitchen! great job, now enjoy it!

@arcy_gw I'm hoping not to know about resale value of this kitchen for a long time. We just moved in 10 months ago!

@M Riz, thank you. Speaking of organization, I can't believe I forgot to post these other before and after pictures!

We moved the upper shelf up, and replaced the lower with a box. The box has one partition in it, so cutting boards live there neatly (they used to take up valuable real estate on the counter before). The other part is where we toss the plastic containers - realistically we'll never stack them neatly so the bin makes sense.

An organized kitchen is an easy to clean kitchen love it, i have the same type of pullout for my cutting boards and my workstation sink accessories. Pretty much everything in my kitchen has a logical spot. makes life so much easier.

It's great to see color in spaces again, the tile is bright and bold, fantastic!

You have my favorite refrigerator! If it ever breaks, those are worth the repair costs to fix them. I'm still kicking myself for getting a new fridge :) Love your remodel!

Super, super fun. Thanks for sharing.

@ch47gunnergirl my mom jokes that we bought the house because of the refrigerator!

I love your kitchen. The tile is gorgeous. Nice job.

In general it looks quite good. I'm on the fence about the blue backsplash. it's a bit overpowering perhaps especially since the grout lines are so pronounced.

LOVE all the storage! I think the backsplash is a really nice pop of color! It would look great with some additional accent pieces to tie it in

@FrameMyMirror, I agree. As you might tell from my name (plus the orange painted accents and the orange seat covers, orange is my favorite color. We've put in several orange accents in the kitchen, now.

Beautiful work!
