Paradise Restored Landscaping & Exterior Design Like what you have accomplished! Would love to see it with signs of life!

Studio S Squared Architecture, Inc. Very warm and inviting, you can't go wrong with that color pallette.

Reico Kitchen & Bath Love the color scheme and the second color on the island. What is that finish?

broccoli10 Love everything about it:)

mickeyandlisashouse Need more pics from other angles!

linderella Beautiful!

ginale What kind of cabinets are these?

woodman0000 The cabinet color on the center island is Van Dyke Brown by Sherwin Williams in the flat finish. The cabinets were custom made by my contractor--all real wood not MDF.

G & L Restoration Looks awesome. 1 small critique: why do you feel the need to use white plugs? they stick out a bit too much. but great job!

kckris Beautiful. Love the door under the cook top. What kind of storage is under there, drawers, pull out shelves?

woodman0000 It is one deep drawer to hold pots and pans.

aohayat Very good job! I'm planning to remodel my kitchen, do you mind sharing how much this remodel cost you? Thanks!

Interiors International, Inc. That is a fantastic kitchen. You guys did a great job. Congrats enjoy!

Granite Grannies Fantastic. I really enjoy the richer, warmer tones that you went with. That sink is gorgeous.

think2day42morrow How much did it cost including appliances

goree98 Nicely done

lionnessone Rich, warm, and welcoming, nice job.

lionnessone Please change the white plugs to a dark or cream shade from the tiles. The plugs will blend in and not stick out like a sore thumb. I do love your new kitchen.

woodman0000 Will change the outlet covers as suggested then post new pics. Thanks! :-)

Jubi Arriola_Headley I LOVE that you went with the creamy warm whites and browns - beautiful job. Looks like you've done something I am considering for my own kitchen remodel - you took over an informal breakfast area and carried the countertops and cabinets into that space for a larger kitchen. So I have two questions for you:

1. When you post new pics, could you post one or two that show where the dining space is now in relation to the larger kitchen?

2. In terms of difficulty/cost, how does closing up windows rate? Is it a huge deal construction/cost wise, or not so much? (I'd need to get rid of one window in my breakfast area to gain wall space for cabinets/counters.)

Thanks in advance...just gorgeous. And best of all - it just looks so much more functional.

Reico Kitchen & Bath Thanks for the finish info! Really beautifully done! Cheers!

maryrw Positively gorgeous kitchen.

broccoli10 I like the space:) It is super modern:) Love the white cabinets:)

saltcitybabe Great job

vtlady52 This is just fabulous. I love your color choices, the flooring and the back splash. And, what a wonderful island! Is that a glass top counter? Do you have bar stools there? The pullout cupboards by the stove top are awesome, too. I never thought getting rid of windows would be a good idea. I can't believe the kitchen looks brighter! I can't find anything I would do differently.

janois Your cabinetry is beautiful.

woodman0000 We are still looking for the right counter stools to go with the granite counter. Closing up the windows accomplished a few things: 1)gaining wall space that we lost when removing the wall 2) adding more cabinet storage which freed up the center island for a beverage cooler, another trash pullout and seating 3) moving the stove top from the opposite "wall".

Closing up the wall may have eliminated the cost of new windows but it did add cost in stucco repair and the challenge of matching existing stucco finish. In the end, it made for a better layout and we are pleased with the outcome.

karenlf Nice...what were the dimensions of your kitchen space? Thanks.

cryinglady17 beautiful.....great job, thanks for sharing

Stuart Nordin Design Nicely done! The added change in value and use of pattern give the space much more depth
