Wow... I am normally not a white cabinet guy but I really like your new kitchen. Something about the simple white cabs, the subtle gleam of the stainless, the strength of the black granite, and the soft/cool color is very peaceful and soothing to me. Well done! Nice touch with the white accents on the stainless appliances - that must not have been easy to find.

Very nice. Looks like a whole new/different house. Love the white BlueStar!

Instead of "eye bleed", it's real eye candy. Food will taste so much better made in your new surroundings. Great updated look!

Very, very pretty! You made quite a transformation happen, congratulations!

frog knob, where is it ?

gorgeous kitchen, what a difference !!!!!!!

It's hard to believe that's the same space. Your new kitchen looks so clean, elegant and classic. Nice job!

There are kitchens still around with metal-edged counters besides mine! Love the white. Your new do looks great!

looks great! congrats, and enjoy!

It went from barely functional to SOOTHING, stylish and functional! :) GREAT Job! I know you're so happy to have it in and walls primed and painted! :) Enjoy your new kitchen and all the decisions you had to put into it! It looks GREAT! :) Love the new windows and door..amazing how they can transform a look! :)

Such great use of natural lighting! Removing the old curtains and adding the 9-pane door really does a lot. I love your choice of cabinets and the soft colors on your walls and floors.

Really well done!

VERY NICE! I especially like your color scheme, Marmoleum, and white Bluestar. What a transformation of your kitchen!

Congratulations! Perfect green color!

That scalloped molding is SO adorable! I love it!

That is sooooooooooooo nice. I am a big fan of white cabinets. Your kitchen is very classy.

I don't see the splurge knob either. Where is it?

And congrats!

Thanks all! Here's a fuzzy picture of the frog knob:

It's on the upper cabinet to the left of the sink!

Oh. I love this kitchen.

One of the best "before and after" kitchens yet. Love the soothing colors. We purchased a "gecko" knob for ours, but haven't decided where to put the little guy yet. Nice job!

What a tranformation! Beautiful kitchen, I just love your flooring.

You have given me hope! We started our remodel in Mid-July and are so close to being done-but it feels like forever! You did a fabulous make-over! Enjoy such a well-functioning and beautiful space.

Mmmmmm beautiful. BEAUTIFUL!

Somehow I missed this one when it first posted. Glad to see it brought back. Have you put up any window treatments since?

Awww, thanks all.

Lily, we're still deciding and have those cheap temporary paper blinds on them right now. We will probably end up with white honeycomb shades--which we have elsewhere in the house--just to keep it all clean and neutral. Also, since we're close to the street, I like being able to open the shades from the top down.

I really like the way you've used the space -- Makes so much more sense to me, and I like the look too (I'm another white ktichen person and have Cambrian Black on my island). I think simple window coverings are a good idea - simple, let light through and still give you some provacy. Nice job!

Yeah, like the idea of keeping the window treatments clean, crisp, neutral. Forgot, I was gonna say before, that marmoleum floor is LUSCIOUS!

How is the matte Cambrian Black working out for you now, a month+ later? Was it sealed? Enhanced? We are looking at similar surfaces, and not getting a lot of sound advice from contractors/vendors.

BTW, congratulations on a beautiful kitchen!

Any feedback on the cambrian black counter?

I'm not the OP, but I have brushed Cambrian Black and love it after 1 year.

Like Lascatx, I love our countertops. Super low maintenance, hides fingerprints and most stains and spills, and attractive in an understated way. You might also want to check out this current thread:

Thanks Lascatx and hestt88...I picked up a sample of cambrian black antique yesterday and am loving it so far.
