OMG, I have the table and chairs that are an exact match to your barstools. I bought mine from Craig's List, so I didn't know where to buy matching barstools. Where did you buy yours? Thanks!

Your wood counters are BEAUTIFUL as well as your whole kitchen!

What a faboulous kitchen!! I love the countertops (which is what I was going to use if my budget didn't let me have the granite I wanted). I also love the pantry door. I think I need to get one of those! Where did it come from?

Your kitchen is lovely. Really like the wood countertops and your backsplash. SW Creamy is a nice white on cabinets. Great job.

What a bright and cheery kitchen! Countertops are beautiful and they look great with your creamy cabs!

Thanks so much!

The bar stools came from Havertys but we got them several years ago. I have seen some similar to them more recently at Bassett.

I got the pantry door from a local guy I bought all my doors from but they have very similar ones at Lowes and Home Depot.

Sprice, your kitchen is beautiful. I absolutely love your butcher block countertops. Also, we are planning on the danze opulence faucet as well (the two handle version) although we're not sure about the finish yet - it's between the oil rubbed bronze and the black. How do you like the black and is it a good faucet in general?

It is beautiful! So cheerful and bright, I love it. Well done!

Great kitchen- I love the wood countertops and recognize the
pretty southern living accents:)
Where did you get your lights? Is that finish black too?

Enjoy it!

Victoriajane -
We love the faucet! I was a little worried because it was a brand I wasn't familiar with and I bought it from the internet but it is a great faucet. Very solid and heavy and operates very smoothly.

I also love the black finish. It is a very rich, matte finish. I was going to get the ORB but the Danze ORB just had too much red in it.

Crescent50 - I got the lights from a local company but I can not remember what brand they are. Yes, that finish is black also which I had a hard time finding. It seems like most of the dark finishes are ORB.

I just love your kitchen so much! What brand are your beautiful Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors that have such a rich gorgeous color that I love? I love your wood counters and the wall color that really adds to the creamy white cabinets and the beautiful stainless steel appliances. I also love the black finish on the faucet and the handles on the cabinet doors that goes so well with the Iron Table Chairs in the kitchen. finally I love the counter chairs.

Oooooh I love love love the look! You brought everything together so beautifully!

It looks comfy, casual, & yet with a simple elegance all at the same time. Very very nice :)

Sprice5105, I love the backsplash tile. I now really feel that tile behind my kitchen counters will enhance my kitchen as well as being easier to keep clean. Thanks for sharing the gorgeous pics of your kitchen.

Your kitchen is so pretty! The counters are gorgeous, and I love the backsplash tile - I'm sorry to hear it's discontinued. Our kitchen was finished almost a year ago and we still haven't done a backsplash...

One word of caution - check into whether you can do waterlox after doing mineral oil. We have a butcher block island top which we use oil on, and my GC told me you couldn't do a poly-type finish after you use oil. So check with someone before you do it.

What a lovely kitchen. The cabinets look beautifully made--great details. I agree with everyone here that the counters are gorgeous. Also, I love that bunny sitting above the books!

I LOVE your kitchen! It's uncanny how similar your layout is to my old layout. It didn't work for us because we have 3 kids and a 104lb dog. Where your bar area angles, we tore it out and made it straight. But yours is SOOO much prettier than mine was. I had cheap white builder's grade laminate cabs and I thought I hated white cabinets but have since realized (especially since seeing YOUR kitchen)that I LOVE white cabinets, I just didn't love MY white cabinets! YOUR kitchen makes me want to settle in for a cup of coffee and a nice conversation.

Enjoy it!

Wow! Job well done! Enjoy!

Looks great! I particularly like your countertops. They look fantastic and really make the look.

I love your kitchen! You've done a fantastic job. And the accessories you've chosen are the icing on your beautiful cake.

congrats.

Thanks everyone for the nice compliments. I got so many good tips from this forum.

The biggest tip I got here was to use mostly drawers in the bottom. I was worried at first but my gosh, it is fantastic! I can't believe everyone that does a new kitchen doesn't do this. Everything is so accessible and you actually have more storage. In fact, I have so much storage I still have drawers that don't have anything in them yet. And this isn't a huge kitchen, I think it is 11' x 12' or so.

Lynn, I answered you question about the hard wood on the post in the decorating forum where I posted pics of the rest of my house. The floors are by Shaw, 5" plank engineered, satin finish. The color change hasn't been dramatic, just gives them a richer color. Easy to care for so far.

Thanks for the thought on sealing after oiling. I was planning to sand them down first but I will definitely check and see if it will work.

Wow, I love your kitchen. Can you please tell me how the countertops feel to your hand? Can you feel the variances in the wood or is it a level surface? Thanks

hi sprice5105 ~
