This is my second kitchen reno with the help of this forum and I'd like to thank all of y'all. I've learnt so much from my first and and who knew you get to learn more the second time around. The demo and the finished took 4 weeks +.

We didn't do major footprints change, but we convert from electric to gas range. The biggest splurge is changing the floor.
We have a budget and it went over a little. We did a lot of purchases from Amazon (sink, sink tip, soap dispenser, knobs and pulls)
Flooring and tile was purchased from local shop (a sales rep who works there is a great help with color)
Appliances was bought from HD and Lowes (Whoever has it cheaper)
We swapped all the trims with white squarish look.

We have a GC that we worked with, he's great and have a good sense of color/design. He did a few things that were not right but he fixed it (see my post re trim work)
Sorry for several posts due to multiple images!

Details:
Before:
The house is built in 1972 and the majority of the kitchen was original (cabinets)
The previous owner has upgraded the countertop to quartz but didnt change anything else (maybe appliances)
We keep banging out head on the upper on the peninsula and it was such a closed-off space.
We kept the dishwasher (it was working right and the stainless steel appliances have black accents that complement it)

After:
Peninsula to Island, remove soffit and build up upper. Remove banister from front entry. Flooring upgrade throughout from entryway to dining to hardwood floor.
