Your kitchen looks beautiful! You must be so happy after all this time. I like your choice of counter top and back splash.

I think your new kitchen and the countertop/backsplash look beautiful. I'm not familiar with the quartz that looks like soapstone, but it is a classic look. Your cabinets look terrific, I think going all the way to the ceiling was the right choice. Can't wait to see the finished version. Good Luck!

Beautiful. I really NEED to know where you got your knobs- those gorgeous glass ones!- if you don't mind sharing :)

Wow, since September? You must be so relieved. The end is near.....soon you will have even have a sink! :)

I really like your choices. I think the countertop is a good contrast to the cabinetry and the marble sample looks very nice against both the countertop and cabinets.

I think it was a very good decision to recess that fridge into where the stove used to be. I had a similar configuration with a peninsula near my recessed frige + pantry cabs and loved it.

Good luck sorting out the backsplash. Can't wait to see more progress. Hope everything keeps chugging along for you!

Thanks, all! We've done all of the work ourselves to save money, with the exception of the installation of the wood floors. It's been a long, slow journey, but I think it will be worth it in the end. :)

Beaglesdoitbetter: The glass knobs are from Lee Valley. They were wonderful to work with; I highly recommend them!

I've included a link to their page below.

Very Nice!! I love your counter and backsplash choices. I think they will look great with your cabinets and still look "period". Love, Love, Love it all, including your knobs and pulls.

Beautiful! Love the cabinets, and I agree; you definitely made the right decision re. taking them all the way up to the ceiling.

Your old kitchen sink is drool-worthy! Please, PLEASE tell me that you're using it again in your remodel. Did you see the recent thread about antique sinks? Yours is a beautiful example! Congrats on getting your cabs!

Thank you!

Juniork: we actually decided not to use the sink in the new kitchen, only because the bowl isn't very deep and the water had a tendency to splash all of over the user. We did, however, save it in hopes of installing it in our laundry room. If it doesn't work there, ours might end on ebay, too. :(

I love it all!

Gorgeous!

congratulations! it looks beautiful! can you tell me more about your counter? thank you!

Beautiful choices-and I love those knobs!

Keep the sink!!! It really is beautiful.

As is the rest - not meaning to detract from that! Congratulations....

You're hard work has paid off!! You've done a really nice job. Congratulations, it's going to be lovely.

Looking beautiful! I love your cabinets and the counter/cabinet/backsplash combination.

I'm curious about your quartz. I've looked at a lot of quartz samples and haven't seen one that looks like yours. I'd love to know the name and manufacturer. Thanks.

lisaabby & francoise47: The quartz is by Hanstone (on their website it's listed under Hanwhat Surfaces, which I assume is a specific category/brand of theirs). The color we're leaning towards is in the Ruscello collection and is called Grigio. I've attached a link to the Hanstone website below.

Wow! Your kitchen is coming together beautifully! I love how you've opened up the space and carried the floor throughout. Love your cabinet hardware. I think your countertop/backsplash samples look really lovely. I'm sorry I know nothing about authentic 1930s materials, but I can tell you they will look beautiful.

oops meant to type Hanwha (not Hanwhat)

The cabinets look wonderful. As for the countertop, what is your motivation for getting a quartz that looks like soapstone versus getting soapstone? I like your quartz but given the age of your home and all the raves about living with soapstone, I would lean toward the real thing.

Beautiful choices! I love it all:)

wolfgang80: I've considered (and in all honesty am still considering) soapstone, but my biggest worry is that I won't handle the chips and water marks well. We definitely want something that's low maintenance and not damaged very easily (as the DH does most of the cooking and isn't exactly careful or gentle in the kitchen). Do you think the soapstone would be much more period appropriate and/or a better fit overall?
