Sink run

Other side of sink run

Beautiful! I'd love to be surrounded by all that wood!

It's STUNNING!! I love all the choices. Enjoy your lovely new space :)

oh wow, is that beautiful! The tile is wonderful and looks great with the cabs and the wood counter. Love the wood counter! Gorgeous floor, too.

The wood countertops are cool.

Just beautiful!! Serene and peaceful! Are you putting them all out of business;)

Lake_Girl, it does seem that way at times!! I think Thermador and my tile installer are still in.....

GaucoGordo, thanks! That tree was in our backyard, dying from 3 years of hard drought, so we cut it down and hauled it from Texas to Kentucky to make counters! I hauled the flooring from Texas, too, because we got it for $2.00 a sq ft.

Oh wow, it's so beautiful and warm. I love it! What type of maintenance is involved with the counters? Do you have to seal them periodically? How do you clean them? Can they be sanded and refinished in-place over the long run? I really, really love the look and the warmth they bring to a white/stainless kitchen.

I love that the tree came from your backyard. Incredible. Your kitchen is warm and super inviting. In the midst of this big east coast snow storm, I'd love to sit in your kitchen sipping tea.

It's great! Love the faucet and sink especially.

Love counters & B/S..... so warm & inviting.....it's awesome u brought your tree with you...........Enjoy for many years!!!!!!

The pictures look a little dark on my screen, but from what I can tell I LOVE it. Nice job tying everything together. Those counters are amazing. Love how they look next to the stainless.

I admire kitchens with a row of windows above the sink. If I could, I'd install two more in my kitchen. :)

Ha, I tried to edit to say "a row of windows" but GW wouldn't let me for some reason.

So beautiful, warm and inviting. Makes me happy that your tree made such lovely counter tops! Congratulations and enjoy!

Looks warm and inviting!

I love your kitchen. I'm not a fan of all-white kitchens and I love how your counters bring warmth and color. And I love the history behind them. Gorgeous.

"oooooOOOooOooooOOOo," she sighed, "Beaded inset cabinets and such gorgeous lighting."

New this would be gorgeous all along. Enjoy every minute of it.

I particularly like the detail above the uppers -- different and interesting. And the counters are fabulous! Maybe I could figure out a way to snatch my neighbors' half dead walnut... (JK! tree theft is actually a problem around here!)

Springroz its just beautiful! Love the cabinets, your trees for counters (oh my!!)
I have picked that faucet too- how do you like it?
But seriously - three measly photos!?!?! ;)
I know I'm not alone here; can we please see more?

What a welcoming kitchen you have! Your counters are really lovely. You are blessed to have so much natural light over you amazing sink/faucet. Working there would be a delight. Enjoy!

Oh, how inviting! I especially love your floors, and the horizontal pulls on your uppers. Very nice!

Absolutely gorgeous!! That counter is stunning and so is your backsplash. Your whole kitchen seems very warm and inviting. Any more photos you could share? Maybe a view of the island or the other side of the kitchen?

Beautiful!

Lovely! So warm and inviting. The counters are fabulous. Love all your choices. Great job!

That is why I called it the "mini reveal"!!! I have to get some other pictures--and I want y'all to see the gorgeous BEFORE pictures, but I need to move them to post!!

I really like the faucet. The pull down is easy to use. I have never had any luck with separate sprayers. I have the smaller bar version for the prep sink that did not materialize, if anyone needs it!!

This kitchen is not big by any standard, but it is VERY easy to work in. I have plenty of cabinets and drawers, and decent stretches of counter.

I have put 3 coats of Osmo Polyx oil on the counter in about 18 months. It is not difficult, and it doesn't have much smell. I love the glow it has. I wish I could capture it in a photo.

Thanks, everyone!!

Nancy you have a wonderful kitchen! I am still drooling over those counters. Love the fact you recycled the tree for your home. It is perfect.

Gorgeous job with those counter tops! Wow!!!
I can't wait to see the next steps for your full reveal.

So warm and beautiful. I just want to stand there and touch your counters!!!

I'm swooning over your wood counters!!! Such a lovely space.

Nancy - lovely...I adore that you used a tree that was in your yard and was no longer viable to become a part of your house. What a wonderful idea! Everything looks great - enjoy your new kitchen and please share more photos with us.

Very special kitchen!

I loooove your use of 'up cycled' materials. Brilliant!

Beautiful kitchen and very serene. Enjoy your calming and inviting new space.

Soooo pretty! And I love the story of your tree. I can picture that every time you wipe down the counter you daydream for a moment of how the tree looked in Texas. (that's what I would do, anyway)

Awesome kitchen!!!

oh wow, is that beautiful! The tile is wonderful and looks great with the cabs and the wood counter. Love the wood counter! Gorgeous floor, too.

When you do add some more pics, could you get a close-up of the little brackets above the upper cabs. Neat touch.

Oh my! What a gorgeous kitchen. I love everything about it. I can't wait to see more pics! I have to keep scrolling back up to look at it once again. I have to say that this is one of my favorites! Every element just adds warmth and charm. I especially love your row of windows above the sink and your stunning counter tops. Enjoy!!!
