Finished mid-century modern remodel

13 years ago

I have been meaning to post some kitchen photos since we moved into the house in May, but this is the first time it's has been tidy enough to photograph! And now that I look at the photos, I still see some odds and ends that need attention, like those cables under the desk, ugh! I want to thank the Academy, and everyone who helped me in the design phase, particularly Beuhl, who came up with the end result.

The cabinets are custom made mahogany and I went with an induction cooktop, which I love. But, I have to say that the warming drawer is my all time favorite appliance right now. I use it everyday. I never realized how handy it could be.

Your kitchen is beautiful and so sleek and well, modern looking! You put everything together so well. I looked at the rest of your house and it is as pretty as the kitchen. Great pool and I like your bathroom tile colors too. You should be proud of all. Enjoy it all.

Another terrific MCM kitchen--two in one day (sochi's, too)--Lovin' it! Those mahogany cabs are gorgeous (in the one shot above, the luster/graining seems to glow). Backsplash is perfect with your granite and your cabs, too. Love the red stools--what an awesome red they are!

re: switchplates (read on your blog you want to change the ones on your backpslash)--check out arnev.com. They have a nice selection and are terrific to work with. They can make a mahogany one for the end of your peninsula (radiused or flat/straight edge--flat/straight edge would look great with your cabs), and you can even specify whether you want the grain to run vertical or horizontal (we had the cherry ones we got from Arnev stained/finished by our cab manuf to match our cabs).

Very, very nice! Love the red bar stools, they add that extra "oomph". Congrats!

What a gorgeous remodel! I want those cabinets! (They match my office furniture.) Were your cabinets made by a local company? What type of wood is on your floors?

I can't wait to look at the photos of the rest of your house later. (My company's fire wall won't let me through.)

Stunning, beautiful kitchen, congratulations! I love, love, love the mahogany cabinets. They do almost seem to glow, wow. I'd love to see more pictures of your backsplash, it is really intriguing and looks fabulous. I love the red stools too! Enjoy your beautiful space, work REALLY well done!

Such gorgeous wood! And the contrast between the old lighting and the new just leaps out of the before&after photos.

My favorite part may be that backsplash. It is subtle, and stunning. Way to take a risk!

Congratulations.

What a beautiful kitchen! I only wish the photos were bigger so I could see more of the detail. As others have said that wood grain is fabulous.

Congrats!!
