I cant believe I am actually submitting my kitchen. Thanks to all who have answered questions, Bill Vincent, for all your grout advice. Jamielo, (you were my original inspiration) and Elizpiz, your backsplash blew my mind. Our house is 1950's so if anyone remembers the original mint green tile and black linoleum. Sorry no before pics We kept the original kitchen footprint but knocked the wall out that faces the kitchen table (it was a small doorway) now the fun stuff http://www.flickr.com/photos/tateland/sets/72157623843891442/

Cherry inset cabinets with natural finish
Uba Tuba granite
AZ Tile stacked stone backsplash in Golden Gate (took 9 months to pick out but glad I didn't settle I found exactly what I envisioned)
red oak floor to match original throughout the house
Kohler Simplice faucet
Ticor sink
Maytag french door fridge
Kobe 30" range hood
Miele double ovens
Thermador 5 burner cooktop
Miele Incognito dishwasher
Amerock Forgings foursquare pulls and knobs (thanks Jamielo)

Beautiful, classy kitchen. I love the natural cherry, gorgeous wood. The pantry is a dream, and of course the backsplash! Love it, love it!

I agree with sochi, that your kitchen is beautiful and classy. I love the beautiful cherry wood used, the rich looking granite, the gorgeous backspash, the wood floors, and the stainless steel appliances. Thanks for sharing.

Just gorgeous!

Your cabinets are stunning - I think you've shown natural cherry at it's finest. And the backsplash is perfect. You have great natural light.

Is that a pull-out landing space under your microwave in the pantry - great idea!

My choices are similar - I can only hope my kitchen is so beautiful. What is your paint color? How high are your ceilings?

Congrats!

Congratulations, tateland! That is a beautiful kitchen, and for some reason it makes me want to jump on a plane and head to Colorado. The wood, stone and SS have a stunning effect! My favorite detail is the card-sized drawers. Are those for recipes?

Oh, that's nice. Selfishly, I'm so pleased to see a warm cabinet/warm floor combination -- you have the same cherry flat & shaker drawer fronts I have, which I absolutely adore. How do you like your iMac station?

Wonderful job. I love the warmth in your choice of colors and materials. That backsplash was worth waiting for! I also think your granite is a good balance for the stone in the backsplash - did you go with a thicker-than-normal slab? It looks substantial.

Very pretty! My cherry cabs will be a tad bit darker, but I'm thinking of granite sort of like yours, so it's nice to see another kitchen done like that. I love the backsplash too; kept a pic of it for inspiration. Thanks for sharing.

Oh, Shaker is my favorite style, and it looks fantastic with the wood floor!

I have looked at that AZ tile golden granite with longing at the showroom near us, and your kitchen makes it really glow.

Thank you for sharing your pictures. They are going right into my inspiration folder!

We were just considering the same granite with our cherry cabinets. Also have been looking at Sante Cecila, did you ever consider more of a pattern? Our floor is a light color stone tile, which I wanted to bring out in the backsplash. Liked your backsplash, are they easy to wipe off behind your cooktop? Where is your microwave? Mine is above the cooktop. We are using our existing cabinets, but either have to shorten the cabinet above the microwave or find another place for it with out extensive remodel. Thanks for the photos, any ideas?

sue15c: the backsplash is very easy to clean (and I cook every night) if you look closely in the pantry pic, we have a GE Spacesaver microwave in there.

What a beautiful Kitchen.. I haven't really begun to search for my backsplash, but you may have just inspired me too.. I have a similar kitchen.. with a twist.. cherry stained perimeter cabinets with absolute black granite and a black stained island with typhoon bordeaux granite on on the island.. Think that backsplash (or some variation of it may work for me??? It is absolutely gorgeous!! enjoy every thing about it!
