98.627% Finished Kitchen - Transitional White Inset w/ glass tile
After reading this site daily for 6 months now and getting tons of great advice it's time for us to post our finished kitchen. In keeping with the style of the house we needed to go more modern than traditional, but we didn't want something too contemporary. Also, we couldn't decide on painted or stained cabinets, so we decided to do both by painting the perimeter while having the island stained.
Although we moved no walls, it ended up being a bigger project then we expected as the old tile floor went through our foyer, powder room and laundry room. Also didn't have correct sub-flooring, and we wanted to move some of the appliances around, etc. The reason the it is only 98.627% completed, is we still have 1.373% left to do, such as glass shelves in glass front doors so in cabinet lighting can shine all the way through, etc.

14 years agolast modified: 9 years agofarmersdaughter, it's disappointing that the old thread is no longer available. It is fun to go back and see all of the original choices we had, and wonder what it would have come out like if we choose something different.
The tile is a 12 x 24 rectified tile from Cermiche Piemme which we purchased from a local tile store. They are out of Italy, and their website is http://www.ceramichepiemme.it. They also make a decorative border of the tile that we used as a surround in our bathroom. Here's a pic:

14 years agolast modified: 9 years agogneebee, thank you. We considered just replacing our cabinets but we hated our old tile floor which went under the old cabinets (as well as much of the first floor). We decided to rip it all out vs living with old, cracked tile.
Regarding inset vs framless, we didn't look into frameless. We were originally going to go full overlay, until we found our just before placing our order that Shiloh was offering inset free of charge. We always loved the look of inset so we just jumped at that offer. Since then, I have read several threads at GW, but the consensus seems to be that unless you live in a swamp it shouldn't make any difference. Almost all furniture in your house is inset (check out your dressers), and how often do you run into an issue closing them? We have a whole house humidifier system, and run air conditioning during the summer, so it wasn't a concern.
christ45ny, we bought the red phone from Amazon.com. It's the red Crosley phone, and they make it in black and chrome as well. FYI, here is a picture of the black one, as well as the link to purchase (again, no affiliation to Amazon, although I do wish I was a share owner after how much we have purchased from them).
