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.

Very nice! Love all that counter space! Very soothing colors. Enjoy!

Beautiful....love it all. As others have said, peaceful and calming - a kitchen I could work in all day! Really like your cab hardware and mosaic tile.

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)

Beautiful. I love the way the sink bumps out.

Your kitchen is so pretty! I love your soothing palette as well. The granite is just beautiful and really compliments the wood of the island.

Your kitchen is beautiful and I like the way the counter brings together the colours of the cabinets. Nice job.

Your kitchen is sooo lovely! The granite especially nice!...love the cabinetry, we have similar taste! Our kitchen is being done in Medallion Venice door in divinity white and our two islands will be in gingersnap.

Enjoy with family and friends for many years to come!!!

Cheers!

beautiful!
Love the backsplash with the counter top!

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).

Very gentle space-- I like the way the double islands work. Great job!

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

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!!

Your hard work shows, beautiful kitchen.

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

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!

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.

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

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

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

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.

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!

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!

Beautiful kitchen, congratulations. You have done a good job coordinating everything to make a nice serene space. Love how your granite goes with the back splash. enjoy!

It's beautiful. I love the backsplash and the granite.

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.

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

It's gorgeous! I love the color of the granite with the cabinets, and so envious of all that workspace.

Pretty kitchen!

Beautiful!! I am envious of that backsplash!!!!

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?

Beautiful kitchen! The colors all work so well together and are so soothing! I love the backsplash and the glass fronted/lighted cabinet. Congratulations and enjoy!!!

What an inviting space! Beautiful!
