| It's beautiful! I love that you were able to keep your cabinets and appliances and still create a kitchen that looks all brand new. Your choices on everything (counters, tile, hardware) are very pretty. |

| Wow! Great Job! What a transformation without a total demolition! I love the counters and the backsplash tile. And your island has a really great configuration, looks very comfy too! Think of the money you saved and the waste you kept out of the landfill! |

| What a great, wonderful difference! Very elegant and I don't think anyone would realize the whole kitchen wasn't new. Believe me, with the oven hassles I've been through in the last 2 yrs, if you have ovens that work great, I think you should definitely keep them! |

| Beautiful!! I really looks like you have an entirely new kitchen. We have the exact same Thermador Ovens in our 80's kitchen - Sadly, the top oven doesn't hold any temp other than broil & the bottom oven is completely dead. It's actually what got us started on our remodel. Enjoy - love it! |

| Hooray, Jean! It's beautiful -- and I notice that everyone thinks it's soapstone! I've wanted to ask who your granite source was -- I've pretty much decided to follow in your footsteps but am coming up empty-handed down here in Florida looking for slabs These pics are a testament to how beautiful JM can be. |

| Great facelift! I am so jealous of you guys who have a decent base to start with and just need to do refreshing! So that is Jet Mist? I too was fooled that it was soapstone!
What faucet is that? It looks alot like what I got- Perrin and Rowe? Details!! :) |

| Beautiful kitchen!!! What kind of sink did you use? I am wanting a single basin sink. |

Wow! Thank you so much for the positive feedback. I must admit it's a little intimidating to post a finished kitchen here because so many of them are so gorgeous. It's really nice to hear that so many of you like the changes.
Details:
Counters: Jet Mist (aka Virginia Mist) honed and enhanced, dupont edge on island and eased edge on perimeter
Cooktop: Wolf 36 inch five burner gas (we switched from electric to lp gas)
Downdraft: Thermador
Backsplash: 3x6 white lanka beveled subway tile, 3x6 breil chair rail tile
Faucet: Blanco "Grace", chrome with sidespray
Sink: Elkay undermount single bowl, 18 gauge stainless
Hardware: Richelieu 3 inch chrome pulls, HD chrome knobs, glass knobs on lower doors but can't remember source
Hope this answer everyone's questions, and thank you again for your feedback! |

Mary:
Forgot to answer your Jet Mist question. I got it from Marble and Granite in Milford, CT. Perhaps if you call them they might be able to recommend a supplier in your area. Good luck! |

| Pardon me for getting to the party so late! Jeanteach, I really love your new kitchen! Everything works together so nicely. I especially like the countertops and the pillow tile on the backsplash. And. is that a sky light or artificial lighting over your island? Either way, it's wonderful. Two thumbs up! |

| fabulous facelift. looks like a whole new kitchen! love your microwave! |

Marthavila: yes, it is a skylight, which brightens up the kitchen so much.
Squigs: I almost fainted when I saw that microwave at Target, because it was the perfect color. My husband was with me at the time and could not get over my reaction! Then, months later I found the toaster oven from the same manufacturer, also in red, and was thrilled. It's the little things! |

| Bye-bye 1980's! Looks fresh and new. I love the addition of the glass in the cabinet doors. Enjoy the updates and the vintage too. |

| Wow...what a great use of white in so many places and your counter tops are awesome. Your use of red is fantastic. I would love that kitchen!!! |

| Thanks, again, everyone, for all your kind words. I appreciate it! I'll be over in the bathroom and home decorating forums next for help with two yucky, 60's bathrooms! |

| Hi mbarbie: Not sure if I already answered this in an email but in case I didn't, the island 8 feet 4 inches by 4 feet 2 inches. Glad you like the kitchen! Are you doing Jet Mist? |

| Guess I wasn't paying attention back in January!! Wish I hadn't miss this, but I'm glad it got bumped. Beautiful! I just posted my refresh too....nice to see another kitchen with a good starting point!! The soapstone gives it such a warm feel. I know you're loving it! |

| Another beauty I missed! That is one GORGEOUS "refresh"--it looks all spankin' new and absolutely stunning! I love that beveled subway tile and your glass doors. I am so glad this got bumped, so I could see it this time around! |

| Love beveled subway. I think "refreshed" is an understatement--it's beautiful! Your counter is so pretty. |
