| My apologies for taking so long to post photos of my finished kitchen. My home is a small (1600 Sq ft) post WWII cape cod - and it's a perfect size for my Golden Retriever and myself. Many thanks to everyone who has posted information on cabinets, flooring, granite, and appliances. This site was a huge resource for me albeit my project a tiny one! The cabinets are by Shiloh in an Aspen door style, finish is Polar White with Cafe Hightlights. The granite is Bordeauz River and the backsplash is RIXI Noce subway tile. I'm not sure how to post multiple photos - sorry! |

| Multiple photos: 1. open an account at photobucket or flicker (free) We want to see your photos! PS Your house is 110 sq ft bigger than mine, so not so little. Little here is closer to 1000 sq ft. Of course, I think "average" here is bigger than the both of us. |

Here is a before photo showing the sofffit and the oak cabinets,which I absolutely disliked but who servered me well until my bank account could replace them with something more to my liking. It was worth the wait!  |
|
| It takes a village. Awesome transformation BTW. |
|
| Beautiful. I love how you took the cabinets to the ceiling. What is the name of your granite. |
|
| Paula, Thank you for sharing. Your new kitchen is fantastic. The cabinets, backslash, granite counter, and flooring are all so beautiful and well coordinated. What a good job! Shiloh is one of the three companies we are considering. Your Aspen door style are so nice that makes me wonder if the door style we are thinking about is too plain and boring. It is so hard to pick cabinets; do you mind if I ask what were the deciding factors that made you choose Shiloh? |
|
| Paula, Sorry I jumped the gun. Was just trying to help out. So now your pictures are there and there again. Glad you figured out how to post. Love your kitchen |
|
| Worth a 'double' look with the pics. Very nice Paula! How long have you had the cabs? Long enough to provide a review of likes/dislikes? We are considering Shiloh also so any input you have would be greatly appreciated. Love the granite and backsplash with the painted cabinets. It all ties together so nicely. Enjoy! |
|
| Granite is Bordeaux River. So glad I opened this thread because this is the same granite we've picked for our kitchen. So excited to see it on your countertops & now I love it even more. Attached a pic of 1 our slabs. |

| Thank you everyone for your assistance & kind word of praise. Shiloh was selected because of quality & price point and because of the absolute trust I had in my KD. I spent too many hours with the wrong KD at a different place - so there is a lot to be said for a KD that listens well and who can get a sense of who you are when they come to your home (mine came when they did the measure). Yes, picking a door style is a daunting challenge. I have no issues making decisions in my life and this was a tough one - probably due to cost & life expectancy- cabinets are not like a vehicle that you can swap out if you are disappointed especially if you live within a budget like I do! My KD mentioned the Aspen door before a sample was available and she contacted me when it arrived. It was exactly what I wanted & did not even know it until I saw it. Because the granite has a great deal of movement and the room is small a simple cabinet was best!! Thank you all again!! I learned so much from this site! Such as finding a granite company locally that polishes the underside of the counter overhang! Who knew to even ask?? The kitchen was completed September of 2012. Thanks again everyone! |

| Very pretty kitchen! |

| Lovely! What is that backsplash tile? Looks like a very calming pace to work in now. I think you made great choices! |
|
| Absolutely lovely! Beautiful granite and backsplash, and I love the molding with your cabs. Those knobs are the bomb. Great job -- congrats!! |

| Mmm, mmmm! Love that granite. Love the cabinets, too -- they are perfect! Very warm, clean, and calming, yet with so much to discover in that granite. |
|
| Yes, please let us know what tiles you used for backsplash. Also, what faucet did you choose. |
|
| I have a question about your Rixi Noce. I saw this tile and it looks very brown in person, yet yours looks more tan. Just wondering if this is how it looks when it is installed rather than seeing them individually. |

| kgolby - your slab is lovely! My faucet is Leland by Delta whose design was inspired by a teapot. Someone asked again what my granite is, it is Bordeaux River. The backsplash is Rixi Grazia Noce; it looked more green in the showroom when I first saw it. It is definately a soft brown and if you look closely in good light there is a very light green color also in the tile which brigthens the overall tone (in mine there is). What is not showing in my photos is the glass sliding door behind me. The door is west facing and allows afternoon sunlight to enter into the room. Although, it was a dark overcast winter day when I took the photos. ellendi- There is a posting on GW by juliet11 from June 2012 "Photos of completed Grazia Rixi crema and noce backsplash". Her photos are absolutely stunning and they convinced me that this was the right tile choice for me. |
