Kitchen Before and After
I do not know why, but I cannot find my original post. I am showing my before and afters of my kitchen remodel. I did the vast majority of the work myself. The wall paint is Soar by Shherwin Williams flat Cashmere. Cabinets are Benjamin Moore Advance, I forget the color as it was matched to the grout.
And my favorite personalized touch... we have a Boston and a pug...

4年前Well done! The new cabinet layout and refrigerator placement really open the space up.

質問の投稿者4年前I appreciate all of the compliments. It took me a long time to finish it! I still want to do more like internal organizers for some of the cabinets etc... but this works in the mean time.
Jck910, can you explain why the stove placement is a hazard? I'd like to understand what I missed on that.
I spent around 12K on the remodel, so I was able to keep it under my budget which made me quite happy.
I picked the shade of gray for the cabinets by matching it to the grout color so it wasn't noticeable where they grout and cabinets met. :) Sometimes I struggle with decisions so that was my way of not having to make one. ;)
I really wanted soapstone but that was out of my budget so I went with a honed nero orion granite. I love it. The original counter had the drop in cooktop in it. It was also wider in that spot and the previous owner had bar stools there. I didn't want people to sit at the cooktop, so I am not sure why that was made that way. I removed the cooktop and made the counter much narrower there, with only the traditional overhang on each side. This gave my seating area more room and was more useful to us. The previous family that lived here for 20 years consisted of only 2 people. I live here with 5 children so the 6 of us needed the table space more. I would really think about replacing the cabinets this time if I started over, but I am pleased with how they turned out.jck910
4年前There's no protection from the burners as people come through the doorway. I'm surprised it passed inspection

4年前Your cabinets are lovely !
What exactly is that shade of gray ? It looks more like a brownish-grey to me...

4年前Since I started the all the kitchens look the same thread, I felt I needed to point out how this kitchen goes beyond the typical gray/white kitchen.
Love the light blue walls and the greige cabinets.
Love that you kept the original floors.
Love that you kept the wood trim around the window.
Love the light fixtures.
Love that you mixed the glass knobs with the pulls.
And even love that in this case you kept the cabinets which have a nice look to them.
And yes, while it does have the white backsplash and black counters, it is not the everyone is doing it kitchen!

4年前Wow. I really love this kitchen. The U shape is my favorite by far. So functional. Those pendants are beautiful.
My range is the same location as yours. Not sure why one comment mentioned that wouldn’t pass code. I find much safer than having a cooktop out in the middle of a flat open area.Nice job!

Ideally there should be a counter on both sides for landing. I know in some areas it would be a code issue, but not in all areas.

4年前What a tremendous improvement. Well done! Nice material and color choices throughout, and I love the minimal-front fridges with maximum storage!
While the range placement might not be ideal, you didn’t have a lot of choices, and it’s miles better than that cooktop in the peninsula.
Enjoy your beautiful new kitchen. And love the doggy prints :-)

4年前Nice transformation. Doing it yourself is tough when you're doing it but so rewarding in the end! I hope some of your kids were able to help : ) Could you please post how wide the aisle is between the counter and the fridge. I'm looking at the same arrangement and want as much cabinet space possible.

質問の投稿者4年前最終更新:4年前The distance between the counter and the refrigerator is 34 inches.
The paint is Benjamin Moore Advance in flat or matte and the color is Cinder. I matched it to the grout color in my tile. The pictures don't show it well, but there is grey veining in it.
