My finished kitchen (lots of pics)

I finally got around to taking pics of my kitchen. Unfortunately, I lost my nice camera during the renovation so these pics are taken with my old Blackberry. The quality does not do the kitchen justice. Anyway, here are the details:
1)Kitchen designer - The Cabinetry in Hingham, MA (Marlene was awesome to work with)
2)Contractor-Bob Burr Remodeling in Carver, MA
3)Cabinets - Perimeter cabinets by Medallion style Potter's Mill in Divinity. 2 Islands by Medallion, style Potter's Mill in Cherry with a Wheat finish.
4)Refrigerator - Thermador built-in 36 inch - paneled
5)Oven-GE Profile
6)Cooktop - Thermodor 5 burner
7)Hood- By XO
8)Trash Compactor-Kitchen Aid - paneled
9)Dishwasher - Kitchen Aid (we already had the DW)
10)Microwave Drawer by Sharp
11)Sink by Artisan - love this huge modern double sink
12)Faucet by Grohe
13)Pulls by Atlas - Sutton Place in Polished Chrome
14)Knobs by Atlas - Sutton Place Square Knobs in Polished Chrome
15)Counterop-Polished Colonial Gold Granite
16)Pendants over large island from Lowes (can't remember make)
17)Light over small island - by Solaris
18)Backsplash-White subway tiles by Oceanside glass in iridescent color Oxygen.
19)Backsplash color tiles - by Sonoma Tile - Style Vihara in Kahuna - iridescent tiles
20)Counter stools by New Pacific style Dylan in Creme. I need 1 more but this color has been discontinued.
21)Paint Color-Walls are Benjamin Moore in Feather Gray; Trim is Benjamin Moore custom color to match cabinets.
22)The legs next to the sink and on the island were ordered from the KD. Not sure of who makes them.

I think that covers it. Again, the pictures are poor quality because my phone takes poor pictures.

These were my helpers and troublemakers through the entire renovation:

This is 1 of 2 islands. This is the smaller island and is used for prep work:

This is the larger of the 2 islands. My husband, kids and I spend most of our time at this island. It's 9 feet. We still need 1 more counterstool:

The word that comes to mind is "soft". I think your palette and look is very pleasing and calm.
I like how you worked the accent tiles into the bs and the hardware is also a nice pick.
I really like the layout and separate island with the glass doors. The sink cab bumpout is a really nice feature as well.
I bet you will really enjoy your new kitchen with all the natural light you have. It seems like a happy and comfortable place to be ;)

Thanks for your kind words. I wanted it to be a place family and friends wanted to spend time. I don't even sit in the rest of the house.

Stacey it's beautiful, I especially love the tile with the granite. Colonial gold is one of my favorites. Love the pulls & knobs. Great job, it's just so pretty and livable. Enjoy it in good health for many years! (love the hood, too)

Your kitchen is beautiful. I love the colors. It is perfect for the southern MA beach area. I used to live in Hingham and miss it terribly! Hope you enjoy your beautiful kitchen for years to come!....and if you don't feel like cooking The Square Cafe takeout would go great with your kitchen:o).

RE: My finished kitchen (lots of pics)

Beautiful! I love the backsplash, great choice. Especially love the tiles over the cooktop. Congrats on your new space!

RE: My finished kitchen (lots of pics)

First time through the pics--oohh that backsplash is beautiful--adds a sparkle to your lovely kitchen. Second time through--that granite is gorgeous with both white and cherry cabinets! (I think I'll have to put that down as one of my favorite stones.) Third time through--the lighted cabinet is exquisite. You did a superb job!! Thank you for sharing it with us. Enjoy!!

RE: My finished kitchen (lots of pics)

The double islands are really cool! Love it all, especially the beautiful "twin" kitties.

RE: My finished kitchen (lots of pics)

Really nice! How do you like the XO brand hood vent? I ordered their insert for my wood hood. Seemed like a good value, but I wasn't able to find many reviews on this brand.

Enjoy your new kitchen!

RE: My finished kitchen (lots of pics)

oooo very pretty!! love how the countertops look with the 'honey' cabinets.
I would love to see some of that same wood tone accessories on sink side. Maybe a wood bowl or a wood utensil holder.

RE: My finished kitchen (lots of pics)

First words that came to my mind on viewing your pics; calm, soothing, and peaceful. Hope it is always thus in your lovely kitchen!


 o
RE: My finished kitchen (lots of pics)

your kitchen is truly lovely! i especially like the legs on your islands and around your sink.


 o
RE: My finished kitchen (lots of pics)

Love your kitchen. I agree with others - it looks so calm and serene.


 o
RE: My finished kitchen (lots of pics)

Beautiful! Comfortable and homey (in addition to the calm and serene already written over and over!), easy to imagine sitting at your massive island with a cup of coffee. or wine. depending on the time of day.


 o
RE: My finished kitchen (lots of pics)

Lovely! You can tell a lot of attention has been paid to all of the details -- everything goes together perfectly and each element enhances the others -- backsplash, pulls, granite, cabinets -- all are great choices. Enjoy!

RE: My finished kitchen (lots of pics)

Thank you all for your wonderful comments. I couldn't have done it without constantly reading GW and getting ideas and insight. It's funny that everyone thought it was calm because it just happened to be during a time of day when my kids and husband weren't home. Usually the dog is running through, the kids and their friends are eating and there's a ton of stuff on the counters. If it's calm and serene, I haven't really experienced it yet because of the chaos that's usually going on.

As far at XO hood, we have no complaints at all. It works wonderfully. You will be very happy with your hood insert.

Thank you again everyone however the calmness and serenity probably won't happen until my kids go to college!

RE: My finished kitchen (lots of pics)

That is a beautiful kitchen. I love the granite and had almost picked that one myself. The two islands are beautiful and such a nice use of space. Enjoy!! I know it seems hard to believe it is done.

RE: My finished kitchen (lots of pics)

Stacey, love your kitchen. It's got a really warm, comfortable vibe. The best part? The tuxedos. I have two myself. :)

The pussycats are so CUTE and the kitchen's GORGEOUS. I love the feeling the photos evoke. How do you tell the cats apart - they look almost identical?
