I am finally ready to reveal our kitchen. This has been a labor of love and a complete pain in the butt. But I am so happy with the results (a few things need to be fixed) and I am loving my new kitchen.
If you remember, this is what my kitchen looked like before...old, outdated and boring.
Linoleum floors, dated cabinets, old stovetop
Old double oven (only the bottom worked)
And this was during the demo.
Where the double oven used to be
And now I present to you the (almost) finished product.
We used some leftover counter top to make a Nevada cheeseboard/cutting board and a soap dish. We still have a lot of leftover counter top that we haven't decided what to use it for. The cabinets have been refaced with new hardware.
New counter tops that are quartz with a marble look to them.
We had to raise our cabinet over the stove due to the space between the stove and the cabinet. It needed to be at least 22 -24 inches for proper ventilation and ours was not. They moved the cabinet up, we installed the new range hood and added the back splash feature. The oven is Samsung and it is gas with both regular and convection settings.
We installed Emser Explorer Series Paris tile which brings in all the colors together.
It is hard to see, but we used some counter top as the window's ledge. We installed a Bosche dishwasher and a farm house sink.
We added pendant lights with Edison bulbs in them. This also shows a more close-up of the counter tops.
We added tile on the other side of the breakfast bar for a place to house our chairs. Before they sat on carpet and it got really dirty under them.
We whitewashed the brick wall, painted inside the indoors bbq and laid a piece of the counter top inside of it. This is where our microwave sits which we plan to get a new one.
We got a new refrigerator due to ours being old and small. We would have liked to cut out more brick to get a bigger fridge, but it was too costly and would require new support beams. All appliances are stainless steel.
We took out our double oven and turned it into a cabinet. We painted the inside black and our contractor added in a cabinet backing and brackets. We used leftover counter tops for the shelving as well.
New Tile
The lifted cabinet
I wanted gray subway tile as my back splash. I searched for the perfect color to match everything and the tile was back ordered for 5 weeks. My contractor contacted the vendor and after many talks, they expedited it and I got the suede gray tile I had dreamed of. Seriously one of my favorite things about this kitchen. It has a Snow White tile grout with it.
We used to have extra cabinets that we removed to make this part pantry, part mudroom. I painted the wall a light gray and we got the bench from West Elm. I still am looking for a coat rack or wood to make one myself.
Pendant Lights
And there you have it. My kitchen is pretty much complete and now to move onto the next project....the bathroom.
