That looks terrific! I love the green backsplash. Nice shot of color, but very relaxing. Congratulations! Enjoy your new kitchen....

I think it came out really beautiful. It looks simple but it comes together because it is not too much in a small space. Sometimes it's hard not to overdo it, I find, and not know when to stop.

I recognize the backsplash tile (love it) but what is the name of the floor tile? Thanks!

Amazing piece of zen-like design.

Beautiful! I love it! You must be soooo happy!

BTW, your "BEFORE" kitchen and mine were eerily similar!!! ;o)

i was wondering where your tiles were from, on an earlier post. a "clean" palette for future owners to personalize. nice job!!!

Great choices, it looks warm and peaceful. I bet you are enjoying your new lighting. Your old kitchen made me smile-- I'd never seen a lamp on a refrigerator before!

Beautiful job - you must be so happy! Your backsplash tiles are completely delicious.

Very nice, very modern and bright (and no longer requiring that lamp on a fridge!) - congrats!

I love it, its an exercise in restraint.

Wonderful transformation into a peaceful, bright, happy and pretty kitchen that is very modern. I love the recessed lighting that really brightens up the small kitchen without taking room. Thanks for sharing.

Floor tile is Cappadocia "Flannel." I was never able to find anything that looks as good. My pictures don't do it justice.
Thanks!

You've done an excellent job - you should be proud of yourself !

It's not my style, but beautiful all the same. Great job.

Thanks for the info icenet. It is really lovely. The tile search is such a journey, isn't it? But so rewarding when you get it right, as you did.

What no trim over the sink? :)

I think it's pretty darn nice!! Very smooth, bright, tasteful (no matter what one's style preferences) and cookable. I'd be happy with that space!

I think the natural maple works really well with the white appliances. I also really like the simplicity of the execution (it fits pefectly with your material choices). Very nice. I don't see the fridge lamp from your before pictures I hope it wasn't a casualty of the reno.

What a clean crisp sleek transformation. I LOVE your backsplash! Your choices of materials work so well together and create such a restful space. It goes to show even if I see a decorating style that is different from mine a can still admire it for its beauty. Great Job!

I love the way you used the grid in the backsplash to create calm regularity, but broke it up on the floor to emphasize the long lines. Really nice!

Thanks for all the kind words and compliments! It was hard for me to let go of that fridge lamp. :)

Aaah! Beautiful choices. I love black and white kitchens, but I see exactly what you mean about it being too closed up for your space. The wood, the clean white countertop, and that amazing tile backsplash (ahh, so calming!) are perfect. This one's getting bookmarked!!

Beautiful job. Love the backsplash and the floors!

"It was hard for me to let go of that fridge lamp. :)"

sometimes difficult decisions must be made to get that extra storage over the fridge... lol!

I agree - it's so calming. What a great place to cook in! I love the cabinet pulls. They are so 'right' for the cabinets and space. You managed to get a lot of counter area for such a small kitchen too!

Fresh, crisp and bright - love it!

I'm in love with your floor tile, too. We're going to update our MBTH one of these days so I added that to my idea file. Thanks for sharing!

what a fantastic transformation! it looks so modern now and nice and bright. Can i ask what the overall budget was?

I absolutely love your kitchen. This is the look I am going for in my kitchen remodel; very simple, bright and contemporary. Can you tell me if your cabinets are natural maple or are they stained?

Great job!! I love that backsplash and think we're going to do a similar one in a kitchenette since it won't go as well in the main kitchen. I actually saw some clear glass tiles that looked very similar online and they were on sale for just about $7-8/sq ft. so may jump on that! Love your cabinets also - I originally thought I'd go with something like that before changing my mind about a million times :)

Looks great!

kitty_car,

The stain I used was one shade darker than natural and it was called "wheat."
