wow, great transformation

What a difference, great job! Enjoy!

Love it! Especially the flooring.

Thank you Traci. The rest of the house had original 3 inch red oak and we attempted to match it. You can just barely tell the new from the old.

Wow! gorgeous!

What a change! Thanks for sharing.

wanted to add some additional pictures/information but they wouldn't post. I'm trying again.

Our goals were to (1) update the finishes (2) add better access to our basement family areas (3) ease the congestion in the dining area and (4) make entertaining easier. We didn't want to expand the footprint of the rooms and tried to make budget conscious design choices. We kept the sink in the same location and the range in the same location.

Cabinets - local custom cabinet shop - alder stained walnut (walnut was out of price range)

Countertops - quartz. Artic shimmer on the perimeter and concrete on the island. The concrete is super hard to keep looking clean. Doing it again, I would go with all artic shimmer.

Floors - red oak to match existing floors. Installed and finished on site.

Appliances - GE cafe range and dw. GE fridge.

Paint - SW repose gray on walls and SW Alabaster trim

Total budget was ~$75k and includes a bathroom and mudroom not pictured.

Your kitchen is lovely! Having just remodeled our kitchen and had a similar change, what strikes me most about yours is the improved lighting. Gotta love those recessed lights!

Wow! Beautiful kitchen! Love the cabinets!

Awesome job!

Gorgeous! Well done :)

Gorgeous!

Fabulous! Counter space for days.

Stunning! I second the comment about what a change the light makes, but wow, you made some excellent choices! Love it!

Regarding the lighting . . . I felt like a kid in the candy store with the electrician. "I will take one of those, and one of those, and a couple of those". It was probably best I had no idea how much I was spending. My electrical bill far exceeded my estimate and the only $$'s I regret are the ones I didn't spend. I wish I would have put in floor outlets in the living room. Thank you so much for all of the kind comments. I agonized over every decision. This kind of work doesn't come easy to me and I knew I probably only had one chance to make good decisions that I will live with for 20+ years.

I feel ya. Our electrical ended up being 25% of our kitchen. We got recessed lights in the dining room, but I regret we didn’t get them in the living room while we were at it. BTW everything else in your new kitchen looks amazing too!

Floor outlets in the living room!!?? Oh wow, we did the same thing with our lighting . . . kept adding on (and no regrets), but never even thought about floor outlets! Oh well, he'll be coming out soon when the new cabinets arrive and you can bet I'll be asking about floor outlets : )

Love it! I love the rich tones of the wood in the cabinets.

What a transformation! Enjoy your updated space.

Fabulous Job!

Interesting finish on the cabinets. Like it.

Amazing transformation, the finish on the cabinets really complete this look.

It's an understatement to say that's a huge difference! Love that great lighting, the finished on site flooring, and cabinet wood/stain. You made quite a few changes! Fantastic... enjoy!

Looks great!
