Amazing. Bravo! Great attention to detail. Love every single thing about your new kitchen. DH was very impressed too! Well done!

That's beautiful! I love the "hutch" and I think it does exactly what you wanted it to do. Kudos to your cabinetmaker.

i love your hutch and all the details...i vote to keep the windows bare.

Wow, that must have changed your life!

Irish lace, tied back simple panels.

This is fabulous! Love it!

Really beautiful. All of your work zones must be amazing with no one running over anyone else. I love the granite and the hutch you designed. Everything suits the space perfectly. Enjoy!

Love the mix of wood and paint. Love the hutch. Really nice!

Trish

Gorgeous. Truly gorgeous.
The granite and backsplash are pefect together.
And the hutch is devine. Love the island that
fits all those chairs. The warm creamy colors
and the golden brown cabinets work beautifully.
Nice job,

Great job! It all came together so nicely. I love the deep windows and the hutch and the way the colors all work together!

what a fabulous job you did! You have SOOOOO much space. Looks like a great kitchen to work in. Enjoy and congratulations!!!!

I love the hutch!! IT is perfect for the age of the home. YOu must be soooo happy in there! It is a very cozy warm feel kitchen.

What beautiful cabinetry! You have a lovely kitchen. Leave the windows bare for the view.

Oh how beautiful! The hutch is such a great piece. Enjoy!

You guys did an incredible job! Congratulations on a beautiful kitchen that your family will enjoy for years and years!
Would you mind telling me what kind of refrigerator you have?
Thanks,
Monica

Soooo nice!! Love your cabinets....can you give info on them?

Absolutely beautiful! I love your windows and that hutch--WOW!

Congratulations and enjoy your gorgeous space!

So beautiful--enjoy!!!!

country smile - how do you like your Delta Leland faucets?

Your kitchen is gorgeous! I love the combination of the white painted cabinets and the wood. It's so warm and inviting! It must be such a great space to work it - you have so much room! You made great choices, and I LOVE your hutch!
Best of luck!

Just looking at your beautiful tile floors again and I was wondering what tile you used, color of the grout & size of the tile. Your kitchen is so beautiful!

Love the changes you made to your kitchen. The dish hutch is beautiful! The granite is so nice on the window ledges. I am so envious of your deep window ledges. Enjoy!

You already know this, but I adore your kitchen down to every last detail - the mixed finishes, the hutch, the pendants, the wood hood, the large openings to the adjacent rooms. But mostly the feel :-)

There is something about it that speaks "home" to me - I have relatives on farms in North Dakota and when I see your kitchen with the dining area in full view, it feels like my roots in ND. We've spent many evenings around tables just like that one - either sitting right in the kitchen or nearby. I love it.

I have the Delta Leland too (and the Moen Boutique), both in the garage waiting for the reno, which is due to start in about a week (after over a year of planning). It's just interesting that mine has so many details similiar details to yours. My plan also calls for raised panel doors - frameless, but my hutch and display cabinet will both be inset - and both be cream painted and glazed. I only hope mine captures the feeling you've created as successfully as you have. I am pins and needles about the feel. I wish you could bottle the formula - I'd pay top dollar! Hopefully the formula is the details and mine are so similiar that hopefully it works :-).

It's also interesting seeing your render and how it compares to the final product.

Just lovely!!

Thanks everyone for responding and your nice comments. I know the most important thing in the finished kitchen is that the homeowner really likes it, but it's assuring to hear that others also appreciate the changes we made.

lynn - I'll need to look for the name of the tile and grout color name in my kitchen files. If you check back tomorrow, I should have it by then.

monica - The refrigerator is an Amana. We almost had major problems because Amana's specs were incorrect and we had to bump out the wall behind it to make room for the extra 9". I think it's 25 cu.ft. Love the ice maker in the door but I dislike the left door set-up on the inside to accommodate the ice maker.

cawfeegirl - The cabinets are custom hard maple with cherry stain & glaze, full overlay doors (exact name is Madison with Presidential raise). Our old cabinets were oak and after 27 yrs. I was ready for a different wood and a lighter color.

countrygal - I love the Leland faucets. I like the pull-down feature and the magnetic docking. I'm not so pleased with the soap dispenser at our island sink. We have to call this week to get it replaced because it doesn't dispense the soap very well.

Gorgeous. I love it! Amazing transformation.

What a great transformation!! You modernized the kitchen but it still looks like it belongs to an old farmhouse. I especially love the look of the painted hutch and island. That hutch is beautiful! That granite in the window is a great touch and your light fixtures are so pretty!

If you don't need to for privacy or sun, I'd leave the two windows over the counter uncovered. Having less going on around it, the dining room window might need something - maybe a tailored valance or fabric covered cornice?

Congratulations!

What a beautiful kitchen!! Enjoy. Love the granite and mix of paint and stain.

Congratulations and enjoy!

lynn - As promised, here is the information you were looking for: Mannington Adura - Moonstone Yunan w/ almond grout; 16"x16"

Country smile, late to post but just wanted to add my compliments on a really amazing transformation! I especially love the beautiful hutch.

Enjoy your wonderful new kitchen!

Eliz

Country, I missed this somehow?! I love your entire kitchen and what a transformation, you must just love it! I really love the hutch and your hood. Everything is just so pretty and inviting and really suits your house. I'd love to see more pics of the rest of your house! Congrats!

Kat :)

Country_smile, thank you for the information! The Mannington Adura - Moonstone Yunan w/ almond grout; 16"x16" tile is about the size I have been wanting for my kitchen. I will definitely get samples. Thank you!

Thanks for the information on your kitchen cabinets that I love also. Can you tell me about your counters?

What a beautiful kitchen you have! I love the hutch, the pendant lights, the mix of finishes, the glass doors on the cabinets, the venthood, so many pretty details. Way to go pulling off a very charming, warm and inviting look!

Beautiful Kitchen I am new here on the Kitchen side I hang out mostly in baths right now. So I am gathering intel for the next venture but could you please tell me what the low counter is for in front of the left window. I came up with a few thoughts but wanted to know. TIA and beautiful job again.

jjaazzy: The low counter is my baking center. I wanted the lower height to roll out dough but I also use it for all my mixing needs when I'm baking. I'm 5'7" and it's the perfect height for me. In my old kitchen, I used my kitchen table for making pie doughs and other things because I had a small slice of counter between the cooktop and sink. That small area of the counter became crowded quickly and it was convenient to turn 180° and use the table for more workspace. Since that was the height I always worked at before, any other height seems unnatural to me. It's also a great height for children that want to help.

Good luck on your "new venture".

Absolutely gorgeous! We are about 3 1/2 months into building our new home. I love love your kitchen!! I am too going with off white cabinets, glazed, with reclaimed heart pine sink base and range hood. My cabinet builder thought I was retarded I think when I told him the "mix" I wanted. Also doing raised panel up top and beaded board on the bottom and black distressed island with wood top on it. Bless his heart...he just said, it's your kitchen!!! You have got to be proud! Your kitchen is sooooo beautiful and sooooo cozy! I'd love to know more about the backsplash you used....beautiful!!

Thanks cowgirl - I read your kitchen description in another thread and it reminded me of my kitchen. If your cabinet maker doesn't have the vision to see how lovely your kitchen will look with mixed finishes then it's a good thing that he is the one making your cabinets because he is in for a treat when he sees the finished kitchen. If someone else is installing them, make sure you invite him back to your kitchen so he can see firshand how the mixed finishes compliment each other.

Check the link below for information on our backsplash. Our mural is S1M172-01. There are plenty of fancier tiles and liners available in our style but we kept it simple in order not to overshadow other aspects of our kitchen.

I'm looking forward to seeing updates on your kitchen as it progresses.

It is such a beautiful kitchen, what a transformation! Great job, enjoy your new space.
