Kitchen turned out spectacular!

4 years ago

I chose a mixture of white, black and white oak cabinets for our kitchen. We uncovered beautiful vaulted ceilings under the 7’ tall that was there. We turned the island added a large beam and opened up the kitchen. I will try and post the befores below.

    Wow, lovely work! You've even taken some details I usually dislike ... and made me like them! You've created a light-filled space that looks like it'll function well. You've used restraint where it needed to be used. I especially like the table space.

    People like to talk about a "timeless kitchen", and then they plop in everything that's trendy in the 2020s ... you've incorporated some things that are trendy now, but they don't come off as 2022 ... rather, they work together to create a room that exists outside of trendiness. It's an original rather than a copycat and will still "look fresh" in 20-30 years.

    It's only March, but you might just have created kitchen of the year.

      WOW! Looks AMAZING!

    • 4 years ago

      Lovely!! So bright and fresh looking! What are your countertops and stove backsplash made of? It looks a lot like Silestone quartz, color soapstone ( which I have).

      Beautiful, bright space. Love the black counters with your black windows!

    • 4 years ago

      I love it, Fun, bright and stylish. Really nice job!

      Beautiful kitchen! What stain did you use on the floors?

    • 4 years ago

      Gorgeous! Amazing how the windows opened it up so much.

    • 4 years ago

      The black counters are Granite and the island is marble.

    • 4 years ago

      Floors are 5” quarter and rift sawn white oak, no knots. I believe they are stained part weathered oak part natural. Let me look back at my paperwork…

      Beautiful! is your table light from Rejuvination?

    • 4 years ago

      Wow. Congrats AP, absolutely stunning kitchen. Love how the beams between the windows mirror the wood beams in the adjacent room. Brilliant way to take advantage of the vaulted ceiling.

    • 4 years ago

      new kitchen is fantastic! Old kitchen shows caution needed when getting glass front cabinets and what will go in them.

    • 4 years ago

      What a wonderful transformation! It’s beautiful — so light and airy. Well done!

    • 4 years ago

      I love everything about your kitchen. It truly is a dream kitchen.


    • 4 years ago

      Beautiful!!!!

    • 4 years ago

      Wow! Thank You!! You all have been so very nice with your kind comments. I’ve never done any designing before and I spent a lot of time scouring pictures to see what I liked and what I didn’t. Then I made my selections and hoped and prayed it all went together.

    • 4 years ago

      Honestly, this is a truly timeless kitchen. So neutral, clean and bright, and quite functional too. Excellent choices. Great gathering place... I love it!

    • 4 years ago

      Great kitchen, enjoy!

    • 4 years ago

      Love your kitchen! The windows and skylights are stunning. But what I'd really love to know (because it's one of the only elements I could copy)--what is lovely blue/green paint color in your hallway?

    • 4 years ago

      Love it! Absolutely gorgeous.

    • 4 years ago

      My husband will see me looking at kitchen pictures all the time on this site. He never says a word. But when he saw me looking at your kitchen, he perked right up. He actually grabbed my ipad from me so he could look at the photos close up. It was so cute to watch him rave about your kitchen! He is a contractor and he said it was so smart of you to raise the ceiling. He especially loved the multiple skylights in that bumped out section. I love absolutely everything!!!

    • 4 years ago

      Your ceiling is amazing!!!!!

    • 4 years ago

      I’m blown away by all of your kind comments! What a wonderful community.
      If you’d like to see more of our befores and after I did a Instagram account of our whole house remodel. It’s called “pricesremodel” on instagram. It’s incredible the things the previous owner did, that we had to fix. It’s been a super fun project that I have really loved and learned from.
