That's a leap into the 21st century!

Love the colours! Looks great!

Nice! What did you use for flooring?

Love it. Please add a stainless microwave to this beautiful kitchen!

Thank you brickin. The floor is a 12" x 6" grey ceramic tile that kind of looks and feels like suede. It is a little tough to clean with the grooves (husband picked it out), but it feels nice on bare feet and looks good.

some other views

Love the look and color- it would have looked great with the pink! :). Thank goodness for micro fiber and these new steam cleaners!

Beautiful transformation! Smart, inspired idea with the window, too. I love the deep blue with the white and countertop, etc. Very nice job!

Like it all! I don't usually like blue in a kitchen but your choice is really nice and just enough

Same kitchen? I don't think so! Show me a pic of the pink kitchen with the same black cat and maybe I'll believe ;)

Awesome transformation - well done!

PS - love the kitty

Beautifully done! Do you mind if I ask what your budget was (and what you actually spent for this?).
We are planning to redo our kitchen but maybe nothing structural (debating). Trying to understand cost of just cosmetic overhauls vs. full re-model

Thanks Brooke Strong.
Our budget was $30,000. That included everything you see plus moving of wall behind stove 18" which made the half bath smaller, pocket door, new flush beam in ceiling since wall moved was load bearing. We did the demo and painting ourselves. Everything else was done by the contractor. He was real good about trying to keep everything under budget. But we did go over budget $4000, because unknown to us, the former owner who built the house did not cover the outside wall completely with felt paper, so for 21 years rain was getting behind the siding. and rotting the wood. Our contractor was leaning on the wall inside and fell through. The whole outside wall had to be replaced it was nothing but crumbled wood. We shopped around for the best deals on our appliances, all 3 cost $2800. Granite was $6600. American Woodwork cabinets were from Home Depot were $11,000, that was with their promotional discount that took off $6000. The contractor used his discount to buy the tile. Range hood and farm sink we bought on Ebay.
Hope that helps and good luck!

What is the model of the range good?? I really like it :) Kitchen looks fantastic!!

Hood!! Not good :(

very nice change

You did a wonderful job. The budget was well thought out. I think you did a great job and have a beautiful new kitchen with a fantastic price point.

Thank you westerngal55.
The range hood brand is Natura , I bought it from a company called Home Instincts.

Wow I am impressed. Thank you so much for the feedback on your budget. Yes we had some same issues on our house with water coming into the deck no water barrier no flashing nothing. We just had to replace the siding across our whole house and wood beams.
Don't you love responsible homeowners. That was a sarcastic comment. We were going to redo our whole kitchen but we had to replace the back deck and of course fix all of the water damage which ended up costing almost $20,000
Of course contract work where we live is insanely expensive for some reason. But there goes the kitchen budget!
I will definitely have to take into account some of the smartest things that you did.

Hi Brooke Strong, thank you for sharing your budgeting experience. Could you kindly share it by taking this poll, here, "Over or Under Budget" --

its very nice

I'm thinking, after reading this and what some other people have written about their contractor costs-- we also live in an area where contractors/sub-contractors are very expensive. But I think this is such a gorgeous kitchen, and Mary Ann saved a ton on the cabinets, too. That was some promotional at Home Depot. :) But, still, the moving of a load-bearing wall, addition of a pocket door, etc-- all that work would have broken the budget here, for sure. Beautiful smart renovation, though.

Wow... Excellent job.

Loving that sink and the marble. Great work!
