Gasp. Promise me you'll never cook in it, nor let children and dogs off leash. That's seriously gorgeous and professional looking!

Wow so beautiful!!! Love Love Love it!

WOW!!

Lovely and perfect for gathering and celebrating the holidays. Many happy Christmases.

Oh my! It is SO beautiful! Happy Holidays in your fabulous new kitchen.

It's gorgeous! I'm glad I could help get this kitchen posted!

I like your gingerbread house, it reminds of the ones my children did in 5th grade... I love the fireplace!

Wow is all I can say. You island granite is beautiful.

You MUST be full of Jesus when you walk into that kitchen!:) What a fantastic job!

Very lovely! I especially like your island and choice of mixed finishes. Enjoy! Merry Christmas!

I love the mix of finishes too! Great choice on the island countertop! It's a perfect example of how choosing the right granite can pull everything together perfectly.

Very nice! I can't help noticing you have painted trim except the windows (and stained doors). I've been struggling with wanting white trim, but not wanting to paint my stained windows. I really like your combo and am now thinking maybe that's the way to go!

Very nice!

That is wonderful! Love everything about it.

Congrats!

Thanks for all the comments! I really like the mix of stained windows with other trim painted too. I was concerned but just decided to stain the windows first knowing if I didn't like it, I could always go back and paint them. My kids (1, 2, & 4 years) are breaking the kitchen in really quick. I'm enjoying cooking much more now also. Marthavilla, i got a kick out of your post!

It looks so inviting--love the range alcove!!!! I would seriously be itching to cook there!

Oh it's so warm and inviting. What a nice mix of finishes. Great job.

Fullajesus, your kitchen is .... B E A U T I F U L !!!
I only hope mine turns out as well. It truly is warm and inviting, and oh ... so ... beautiful ... (sigh).

Your kitchen is my inspiration kitchen! I LOVE your cabinets and granite, and everything! You sure have great taste. Have a wonderful Christmas in your new kitchen!

Be still my heart! Wowza!! I love everything about it, especially the cabinet finish and that drop dead gorgeous granite! Congratulations :)

Okay, so I took another tour of your pictures and realized your layout is so similar to mine! It's larger, of course... but it's very representative of what could be done here to change things up and maybe expand. Thanks for the inspiration! If you happen to know them, would you mind sharing the dimensions of your area? (Kitchen, Eating, Family Room?)

Again... a very lovely space. Every inch!

Just beautiful, we share the same taste. My cabs are due in two weeks and they are almost identicle to yours. Can you tell me what your backsplash is, the vision I had for my kitchen is just what you have, it looks like old brick. Seeing it with the cabinets just confirmed it for me. Can I also ask what edge you chose for the kitchen counter.
Again, stunning. Lots of luck with it and congrats!

Simply Beautiful... Congratulations!!!

Creekilys, I got my plans out to get the dimensions and here they go: The kitchen/hearth/breakfast area is all open to each other. The kitchen cooking area is 12 x 15, hearth area & breakfast area together are 13x 29. The family room is 20 x 23. It's really open. This is the area we really live in. I wish you the best with your plans!
DD70, The backsplash is a tumbled stone...the lightest one they had to offer, in a brick shape. I thought it might be too light, but there's so much variation in the color, that it really warmed up once it was on the wall. The small 1 x 1 stones are from the same tumbled stone family, just a darker brown. I did two rows of the 1x1 stones near the bottom. I took that backsplash from a picture off of thisoldhouse.com Thanks for looking at mine. I got so much inspiration from this website & am so thankful to everyone here for sharing their kitchens!

Thanks for taking the time to post your dimensions. I really appreciate the help (and inspiration!).

I cant STOP looking at your kitchen, I hope mine turns out half as good. Thanks for the tile info, I found a site on the web that has them, I will have to go out an see them in person.

Yowza!!!!! That's awesome. I'll have one of each.

Bump ...
