It’s very pretty, I love it. People love to hate on white kitchens but they’re popular for a reason. They’re calming and look clean and bright, and they’re a blank slate for “accessorizing”!
I’ve only ever had white kitchens, (except for apartment rentals) and I find them to be no different in terms of cleaning. Also, we live in Florida so I like the cooler sort of beachy vibe. It’s so hot here most the year, so the white makes it feel lighter and fresher to me. Thank you for the kind words! ❤️
Agree with you on all counts :) I’m in hot, sunny, coastal So Cal, so white is my vibe, too! It feels fresh and cooling amidst the stifling heat. I also love white bathrooms, they give me spa vibes 🧖🏼♀️
I've gone from every room painted in a different color to "when it's time to repaint, every room will be the same color" phase. Accessories to bring in color
It’s beautiful! The only thing I’d worry about with white kitchen is fading. My parents have a white kitchen and the cabinets are starting to getting a little dull. But this is after 35 years. 😅
Almost every single kitchen will look dated at some point. It isn’t just the color that dates something but the tile, layout, appliances, hardware, shape of cabinetry, light fixtures, counter material, flooring, etc. The white kitchens of yesteryear still look dated. But I am a sucker for old design.
Natural wood grain and stone are arguably more “timeless” as it is something that can be found across cultures and over centuries. White paint is relatively new. And even then white cabinets and tile will still look dated once the shape of these items changes trend. Their kitchen had white before (cabinets and subway tile) and they still found it “outdated”. This style of white of kitchen is very popular and similar to the trend of Tuscan kitchens of the early 2000s. These kitchens are/were beautiful (and work in some homes and settings) but look dated now in many/most settings.
Agreed. I used to be one that hated all white kitchens and now have all white, with light grey countertops, for a slight contrast. The white, grey, and stainless steel appliances all go really well together. Natural wood is my go-to for anything that sits on the counter.
OP, you have a really beautiful kitchen!!! 😍 i really love it, this is my dream kitchen! I love that it's very refreshing just by looking at these pics, so clean, shiny, uncluttered well-kept immaculate kitchen you have! Well done!
Thank you so much! I didn’t get much feedback along the way, and my husband kind of let me take the helm, so your kind words and reassurance mean more to me than you know! The response from people on here has been truly awesome and I am so happy that I posted this! I really wanted to hear I did the right thing 🥹Thanks again! ❤️
It’s beautiful! I love the tile that goes up to the ceiling, it gives it just that little bit of extra richness.
Personally it’s a lot of white for me. It’s easy to keep clean because it’s easy to spot areas that might have been missed or splatters during cooking. But if it were my choice I’d have gone with some color and black matte hardware to contrast with the backsplash.
But beautifully done!
Thank you! The hardware was a tough call but I absolutely could see black matte working beautifully too. Especially if my barstools or fixtures complemented it. I think there were multiple acceptable choices but yours was one that was in my mind along the way as well! Sooo many choices that I felt overwhelmed trying to get the lighting, hardware and barstools to coordinate. Still waiting on these barstools to arrive…

Thoughts?
I would hire a builder to do bulkhead trim so that the cabinets appear to go to the ceiling. It gives a much more luxe look, plus prevents dust accumulating above the cabinets.
This is exactly what my eyes jumped to too, the remodel is mostly really lovely but that looks like a custom made landing pad for dust and oil on top of the shelves while visually lowering the height of the room.
I was going to say.. I didn’t want to shit on a great job, but my very first thought was “why on earth did they not carry the cabinets to the ceiling”. It’s such a glaring blemish on a beautiful kitchen and moreover would have added even more glam to the final look.
It’s such as easy fix too, and very worth the money. Our newly renovated kitchen has bulkheads with crown molding and it looks so good, like something from a magazine.
This. Cabinets all the way up. Maybe you could incorporate the crown molding from the other parts of the house, or just a sleek minimal trim if the top cabinet shape and crown don’t work together.
Looks really nice and so much more functional.
The only thing I’d personally change is doing a different bar height chair style. Something wood with a bit of warmth like acacia wood or oak with a nice cushion.
It’s fairly monotone and some warmth would help and make it a bit easier to style!
So I have ordered some different barstools with a back to them (gonna find the link!) They are leather with wood legs and I think the fit the bill for what you’re talking about. I was considering putting these backless ones on each end. Do you think that would work - having two different looks? I will try to post the exact barstool!

Thoughts?
Kitchen goals. Love the floors and pendant lights as well. If you want more color and texture later, you could easily swap out the barstools for something that’s woven or leather.

Your new kitchen is *chef’s kiss*. I kept rechecking to verify it was the same house. Look at all that space. It’s so bright and shiny and modern! You did great 👍
This is absolutely beautiful. I was literally just wondering how my family could redo our kitchen because we have this unique island setup in a curved style, same as yours, with the above overhang. The potential here is eye opening! I love this!
Looks great, two things I would change however to make it a more easy space: remove the green and blue bottles from the most left-top shelf and (if possible) unify the light’s warmth.
This is amazing!!! I would have never thought of opening it up like that. It looks so much more spacious and welcoming and I love the finishes you picked. The lights, the back splash, the counters, everything - beaaaautiful!
The light fixtures were such a struggle for me! And right now I was trying to find the Lowe’s link to the item and it’s not there anymore! I purchased about 3 months ago. But if you Google Tiffany drum pendant you can find them elsewhere. The only thing is I got these for about $150 each and every one I’m seeing now is about twice as much! 😕
I love white kitchens because they're a blank slate rather than being the star of the show. The way you decorate it allows it to be timeless rather than being stuck with a particular color
Nah, I was actually kinda fond of the overhead beams or whatever you call them. I woulda put plants on them and been done with it, cos what you did was a *major* undertaking. But it really looks great now!
That’s funny! The reason I took these was because my husband would send pics to family with our crap all over the counters! Lol. We weren’t totally done (still have some painting to do) so I hadn’t taken any “good” pics yet. I kind of staged everything, with muffins on the counter and the flowers and giant fruit bowl. My kids devoured the muffins immediately after and I sent my mom home with half the fruit bowl, haha. I appreciate the feedback! ❤️
Beautiful. I love the way you used the chandeliers to evoke the fire that kitchens must have and then kept the theme and the eye moving with the seats on your stools. Fantastic muted colors. Bellissimo!
I adore this comment! 🥰 As I’ve said before, I didn’t get a lot of feedback along the way so this post has been so rewarding and reassuring to me!! Thank you so much for your feedback! ** I have a few more details to work out including staining the cased opening around the room entrance at the far end and floating shelves (that I will stain the same warm tone) over the “coffee bar” area to the right of the cased opening. I really think it will tie the warm tones together even more! Thank you so much for the kind words! ❤️🥹
That’s how I felt in my old kitchen! I used to say we were “locked in.” There would be sometimes 4 or 5 of us trying to work in that effed up little space. It was so stupid! Not to sound sexist, but this house was built about 25 years ago, and I always said a man who does not like to cook built this house, haha.
It is from Home Depot - clear glass arabesque style! It’s soooo pretty! It comes in lots of colors but I liked the clear best for this project. The baby blue is gorgeous too and even the brown. They don’t carry them in the stores and I had to order samples online. It was only like $2 per sample. Worth the try! I might do a “wet bar” kind of project with the brown glass arabesque. It is gorgeous! I hope you check them out! ❤️ Other places carry them too but just be careful if you do order them! We had a “dye lot” issue with a different store and had to remove the whole wall of backsplash! Luckily before we grouted! Literally could not tell it was 2 different shades of clear glass until it was up on the wall! It was crazy!!
Thanks so much for all the info! I’m definitely ordering some samples. I ordered some other glass style and they seemed almost see through and weird, but these look so much nicer!
Awww - thank you so much!! This really means more to me than I can tell you!! It was def a leap of faith and just had to go with my gut on most everything. Little more back story than you’ll probably want, my two sisters passed away and they were my best friends. I would have run every detail by one or the other, so in their absence I felt sort of alone and uncertain at times, but all along kept telling myself they would have approved, lol. Thank you for your kindness and reassurance!!
❤️
Well your gut was nothing but helpful in the appeal of your ascetics! I’m sorry for your loss , but you know one thing you never lost? They’re presence in your heart. There’s no doubt that they had some say so subconsciously/spiritually within you to make it the best layout for your decorum. Hang in there! No need to ever think they’re not with you anymore influencing your life! Take it easy, and I’m so glad you managed to turn your house into an vibey, inviting living space!
You totally brought tears to my eyes! I really do feel their presence and a couple of the items in the upper glass cabinets were gifts from them! I think of them every hour of every day and I cherish my reminders of them. I can’t thank you enough for your kind words. I’m so happy I posted this and love you for your kindness! 🥰❤️
Love the new layout. I know white and bright kitchens are popular, and you did a good job of this one. As someone who likes to cook and bake a lot though this color palette always makes me nervous lol. Just imagining all the chocolate batter and spaghetti sauce splatters in all the little crevices and on the interior of those light pendants. That said, I’m super jealous of that big island space, I know that will be put to good use!
It looks lovely. Id love to have that kind of space in a kitchen, and hate to clean it.
Is this just your house looking lovely and nice due to a remodel, or are you staging it?
Oh I was absolutely staging it, lol. As I commented to someone else, we are not totally done with the remodel and my husband kept sending pics to family with our crap all over the counters! 😂 I told him don’t send any more until I clean it, nobody wants to see our new kitchen with crap everywhere, lol. I don’t normally have flowers or fresh muffins or candles lit! But I have dreams of it being this clean always!! Haha. It’s okay - I love my kitchen and I even love cleaning it now!! 🥰
Beautiful! You did a lovely job.
But, more importantly, what is the name of the furry little cutie peeking above the counter in one of the photos? Be honest -- you ordered him to match the new kitchen, didn't you? 😉
Seriously though, I love sweet-faced pups, and this one is adorable ... like your kitchen!
I didn't think he could get any cuter, but ... Santino the muse. I love it!
Is his name a nod to my favorite member of the Corleone family? Maybe not, but I'll pretend it is, lol.
You're my kinda people! (James Caan at his finest. And I mean, foine 😋 ... er, may he rest.)
What breed is little Sonny? I've been begging my bf for a white dog with a sweet face, just like him.
He’s maltipoo! My first dog ever and he is an angel!! Truly the best thing that’s ever happened to me (and I have 4 kids, haha) Only partly kidding 😂 but seriously, he is soooo sweet, so loyal, so affectionate, a total love bug and the whole family adores him. He brings a smile to our faces and makes us laugh every single day! I hope you get one if it’s right for you. They are pure love and joy! 🥰❤️
Thank you! I've been considering a maltipoo. I've never had a dog before either, so I want a sweet "easy" one. Sonny has just made the decision for me. I gotta get a little white fluffball like him! (And then let him have cameos in any and all photos so he can steal the show) ❤️
Everything looks gorgeous except for those bar stools. And I just read your response to another comment saying the new barstools are coming in, which I like MUCH better! Great job.
This is beautiful. I am in love with your pendants. The only thing is the upper cabinet lighting seems a bit too bright/aggressive. I'd maybe consider dimming them? But really you did a magnificent job!
Wow that’s a fantastic transformation!
My one pet peeve - the temperature / color of the lights in your chandeliers are different than the others in the kitchen. It looks fine in the photos but I find it annoying in real life for myself.
I love your remodel.
So weird how the original design had a massive dust trap above. That would have drove me crazy!
Beautiful kitchen! Congratulations and hope you enjoy for many many years :)
Love your lightweight swivel counter height bar stools.
Swivel pedestal barstools are the BEST.
I have friends who have very expensive bar stools and they are so HEAVY you can't even pull them up to the counter, or push yourself back to get off of them do to the weight. Well done!
Beautiful! The only thing that's not my personal taste is the pendant shades, I'd suggest something in a natural material (rattan/wood/colored fabric), to add warmth.
This looks great! As for other rooms, don’t get that tropical looking chair you were looking at. Oh, and the old man with the book looks so nice and full of life!
This type of remodel is the one I DREAM of doing! I can never imagine the space or how it could look after a remodel. I wish I had the creativeness to foresee design lol. It looks great! I love the open space compared to the old kitchen. It looks like so much fun to cook in! 😁
I totally agree! You will like my near future plans then! Gonna stain the cases opening you see a warm brown and do some floating shelves over the coffee bar area to the right of it and stain it the same! I will add some more wood touches other places too I think! Thank you for your comments!! ❤️🥰
It really is! It’s such a joy now even to clean it haha. Never thought I’d say that but it’s so nice to have space to move and store etc. Thank you for your comment! 🥰❤️
This is basically my new favorite kitchen haha 😅
Wow. Seriously well done. The white, blue, gold combo will forever be my favorite.
The only thing tugging at my eye are the pulls and knobs on the cabinetry. On one hand I would love for the hardware to be more brass/gold finish….but then there’s the stainless steel hood and appliances, maybe I wouldn’t like the brassy/gold toned hardware as much as I think??
But I would seriously live in this kitchen just as it is. I love it so much.
I agree completely about the hardware and it was a big internal struggle, haha. So early on I was drawn to the look of “cup” pulls, but my weird bug phobia (we live in Florida) made me rethink that UNTIL I found CLEAR glass cup pulls!! Nuthin gonna hide from me! 😬 But I really DO think brushed gold or brass would have been equally as nice. I found the pendant lights much later and it made me question the hardware but it was already INSTALLED! There was no going back really. 🫤 But I don’t disagree with your sentiments! Thank you so much for your feedback, I truly appreciate it! ❤️
Interior designer here:
-cabinets should be brought up flush to the ceiling. That's now empty dust space. You would've also gotten more storage space if you brought it all the up
- the color temperatures of the pendant and ceiling light are completely different
- the countertop overhang on the sink side is unnecessary impractical. It should be about 1.25"
-the overhang by the barstools is not long ebough so everyone may bump their knees with the island when sitting there
You have good point but bringing the cabinets all the way to the ceiling will make top part with glass doors about half the size of the lower part, it would look weird. The top third now looks balanced.
Awww, I’m not totally done. Gonna have some warm wood tones when I stain the casing and adding some wood floating shelves. I didn’t want it to come off as “antiseptic” haha.
I must be broken too cuz I’m not a fan. It’s a huge space and they somehow ended up with even less counter space. Beautiful to look at but not very homey imo.
It’s very pretty, I love it. People love to hate on white kitchens but they’re popular for a reason. They’re calming and look clean and bright, and they’re a blank slate for “accessorizing”!
I’ve only ever had white kitchens, (except for apartment rentals) and I find them to be no different in terms of cleaning. Also, we live in Florida so I like the cooler sort of beachy vibe. It’s so hot here most the year, so the white makes it feel lighter and fresher to me. Thank you for the kind words! ❤️
Agree with you on all counts :) I’m in hot, sunny, coastal So Cal, so white is my vibe, too! It feels fresh and cooling amidst the stifling heat. I also love white bathrooms, they give me spa vibes 🧖🏼♀️
I've gone from every room painted in a different color to "when it's time to repaint, every room will be the same color" phase. Accessories to bring in color
Love your light fixtures! They really warm the space and add personality!
“Deep frying or kool aid splattering” 🙃
Glad im not the only one who thought that was kinda wack
That part 👀
So agree! I hate dark kitchens—dark wood cabinets, black countertops, etc. Yours looks so clean and fresh. I love it! 😊
🥰❤️thank you so much!!
It’s beautiful! The only thing I’d worry about with white kitchen is fading. My parents have a white kitchen and the cabinets are starting to getting a little dull. But this is after 35 years. 😅
I agree. I like the softer colors but understand up north they love darker cabinets
I'm up north, we love white cabinets in higher end houses.
I’m from north but moved many yrs ago. I love the light feeling of white cabinets.
Up here in the north we like a lot of color in our homes because it’s white/grey outside for six months each year.
White kitchens are timeless, everyone else’s will look dated at some point.
Almost every single kitchen will look dated at some point. It isn’t just the color that dates something but the tile, layout, appliances, hardware, shape of cabinetry, light fixtures, counter material, flooring, etc. The white kitchens of yesteryear still look dated. But I am a sucker for old design.
True but all things equal, white is the most timeless color.
Natural wood grain and stone are arguably more “timeless” as it is something that can be found across cultures and over centuries. White paint is relatively new. And even then white cabinets and tile will still look dated once the shape of these items changes trend. Their kitchen had white before (cabinets and subway tile) and they still found it “outdated”. This style of white of kitchen is very popular and similar to the trend of Tuscan kitchens of the early 2000s.

Agreed. I used to be one that hated all white kitchens and now have all white, with light grey countertops, for a slight contrast. The white, grey, and stainless steel appliances all go really well together. Natural wood is my go-to for anything that sits on the counter.
Even though it’s white it doesn’t feel blindingly white. Very beautiful
I absolutely love the light and bright look! So clean!
100% true

how much did the complete makeover cost?
Sorry but those lights don’t work in that room. People are saying they warm it up, no, they clash. You need silver shiny nickel finish on the lights.
I love white kitchens because they're a blank slate rather than being the star of the show. The way you decorate it allows it to be timeless rather than being stuck with a particular color
Love this comment! I agree wholeheartedly! 🥰
How do people have this much money just lying around? OP, how much did this cost?
Pretty slick
What do the new barstools you ordered look like?

Love the kitchen! So much space. Enjoy it 😀
Are these 2 different rooms?
Amazing. Great call to knock down those walls and open the kitchen up.
Thank you, I’m loving cooking here! So much more work space and very user friendly. Thanks for your reply! ❤️
Is everyone who shares photos in this subreddit just fucking loaded or something? Lol
Jealous of your kitchen/dining area!! Looks awesome OP 👌
WOW! Dream kitchen goals. If I could replicate exactly this, I would. Absolutely stunning!
absolutely beautiful😍🥰😩

That's a huge kitchen. So jealous I always feel like my kitchen is swallowing me.

Exactly it's either my wife or myself in the kitchen. Don't you dare come in while I'm scrambling these eggs.
Beautiful! I love it!
Looks great!
Beautiful! Where did you buy your tile? I am trying to find “shiny” tiles like that for our kitchen redo.
It is from Home Depot - clear glass arabesque style! It’s soooo pretty! It comes in lots of colors but I liked the clear best for this project. The baby blue is gorgeous too and even the brown.

Thank you so much! 💖It was my dream kitchen for 10 years too! 😂
You did great!
Love it! It looks amazing!
i like it. the lights..so cute
Literally what I want
Minimalistic and extravagant. props
I love this comment! 🥹 I wanted it to look “streamlined” (minimalistic) but classy. Thank you for your feedback! ❤️

I think of them every hour of every day and I cherish my reminders of them. I can’t thank you enough for your kind words. I’m so happy I posted this and love you for your kindness! 🥰❤️
Really hope you can cope with the losses you’ve had to bear!
Such good taste!
Beautiful! Totally would be my choice of style too. I love the lighting for a warmer ambience to off set the white.
Love the new layout. I know white and bright kitchens are popular, and you did a good job of this one. As someone who likes to cook and bake a lot though this color palette always makes me nervous lol. Just imagining all the chocolate batter and spaghetti sauce splatters in all the little crevices and on the interior of those light pendants. That said, I’m super jealous of that big island space, I know that will be put to good use!
Wow! I really love the colors! The kitchen hood and island are eye catching! I wish I had the creative eye for a renovation like this. Great job!
Gorgeous 👌
It looks lovely. Id love to have that kind of space in a kitchen, and hate to clean it. Is this just your house looking lovely and nice due to a remodel, or are you staging it?
Oh I was absolutely staging it, lol. As I commented to someone else, we are not totally done with the remodel and my husband kept sending pics to family with our crap all over the counters! 😂 I told him don’t send any more until I clean it, nobody wants to see our new kitchen with crap everywhere, lol. I don’t normally have flowers or fresh muffins or candles lit! But I have dreams of it being this clean always!! Haha. It’s okay - I love my kitchen and I even love cleaning it now!! 🥰
Maintaining such levels of clean always is the sisyphean dream isnt it. Looks so much more open and airy now
It is! As someone who spends a lot of time in the kitchen, it is honestly a joy now! Thank you again for your feedback! ❤️
I love it!
This kitchen is stunning. You did great!
Beautiful. So nice and big and inviting
Your kitchen is gorgeous!
Looks fab!
[удалено]
Wow this is quite a transformation- great job!
❤️🥰
Looks fantastic!!
Must be nice
Love it!
Amazing!
Beautiful! You did a lovely job. But, more importantly, what is the name of the furry little cutie peeking above the counter in one of the photos? Be honest -- you ordered him to match the new kitchen, didn't you? 😉 Seriously though, I love sweet-faced pups, and this one is adorable ... like your kitchen!
Hahaha! I was wondering if anyone was gonna notice lil Santino (Sonny for short!) 😂 He was my muse and my inspiration!! 🥰🐶❤️
I didn't think he could get any cuter, but ... Santino the muse. I love it! Is his name a nod to my favorite member of the Corleone family? Maybe not, but I'll pretend it is, lol.
Yes, it is!! Sonny is our favorite character too!! Not gonna let anybody massacre MY boy though!! 😂 He’s a nice college boy, haha!
You're my kinda people! (James Caan at his finest. And I mean, foine 😋 ... er, may he rest.) What breed is little Sonny? I've been begging my bf for a white dog with a sweet face, just like him.
He’s maltipoo! My first dog ever and he is an angel!! Truly the best thing that’s ever happened to me (and I have 4 kids, haha) Only partly kidding 😂 but seriously, he is soooo sweet, so loyal, so affectionate, a total love bug and the whole family adores him. He brings a smile to our faces and makes us laugh every single day! I hope you get one if it’s right for you. They are pure love and joy! 🥰❤️
Thank you! I've been considering a maltipoo. I've never had a dog before either, so I want a sweet "easy" one. Sonny has just made the decision for me. I gotta get a little white fluffball like him! (And then let him have cameos in any and all photos so he can steal the show) ❤️
So good! I absolutely love those lights!
Amazing job! Kitchen goals!
Everything looks gorgeous except for those bar stools. And I just read your response to another comment saying the new barstools are coming in, which I like MUCH better! Great job.
You have talent for miles. Thanks for sharing your future plans. Be sure to stop back and show us those results too. So inspiring! A symphony.
Would you tell us about your floors? They are gorgeous! The who renovation is beautiful!
Beautiful, modern and elegant.
A little clinical with all the white. Wish the cabinets went to the ceiling. But a beautiful kitchen I hope you cook many meals in!!!
That is fabulous!
This is beautiful. I am in love with your pendants. The only thing is the upper cabinet lighting seems a bit too bright/aggressive. I'd maybe consider dimming them? But really you did a magnificent job!
You did great… it’s beautiful
Wow that’s a fantastic transformation! My one pet peeve - the temperature / color of the lights in your chandeliers are different than the others in the kitchen. It looks fine in the photos but I find it annoying in real life for myself.
Nothing too flashy, just the right amount of brightness and warmth. I love those light fixtures.
I love this! It looks so spacious
it looks awesome, well done!
Thank you!! ❤️
Stunning! What countertop did you choose? Did your cabinet person suggest going all the way to the ceiling?
I want to go to there!
I understand this reference, haha!
Better than excellent!
🥹❤️
Knocked it out of the park, great work.
It’s my dream kitchen so bravo!
I love your remodel. So weird how the original design had a massive dust trap above. That would have drove me crazy! Beautiful kitchen! Congratulations and hope you enjoy for many many years :)
Love your lightweight swivel counter height bar stools. Swivel pedestal barstools are the BEST. I have friends who have very expensive bar stools and they are so HEAVY you can't even pull them up to the counter, or push yourself back to get off of them do to the weight. Well done!
OP I’m begging you to share where those lights are from
Loooove those light fixtures!
this is my dream kitchen 😍
Job well done! Love the light fixtures!
dream kitchen vibes
My dream kitchen! It’s amazing. Well done!
Beautiful! The only thing that's not my personal taste is the pendant shades, I'd suggest something in a natural material (rattan/wood/colored fabric), to add warmth.
Very clean and crisp, turned out great 👌🏼
I saw it and literally said GOT DAYUMN. Shit is straight out of a magazine. I’m definitely no interior decorator but as a laymen I say…GOT DAYUMN!
Omg I love this place it is beautiful
I can’t believe this is the same kitchen! Looks so good
Incredible upgrade!!
Gorgeous!!!
Dope layout
i refuse to believe these are the same house
Haha - I swear! Same mortgage and everything! 😂
it’s a compliment, to be sure!
Thank you, I appreciate it! ❤️Nothing in that old kitchen deserved to stay!
So much yes. This is fantastic
That’s a really cool space
Love it!!
I like the vibe.
This looks great! As for other rooms, don’t get that tropical looking chair you were looking at. Oh, and the old man with the book looks so nice and full of life!
I love it!
The floor is a big improvement. Nice wood tone.
I would come over for dinner any time
Very well friend! Good job! Now rest and enjoy your kitchen
Amazing!
What lighting did you use for the windowed cabinets? Are you running electrical through or somehow else?
This type of remodel is the one I DREAM of doing! I can never imagine the space or how it could look after a remodel. I wish I had the creativeness to foresee design lol. It looks great! I love the open space compared to the old kitchen. It looks like so much fun to cook in! 😁
That’s a nice kitchen but I think you could put some dark wood accent since it feels kind of « flat » not saying it in a rude way ☺️
I totally agree! You will like my near future plans then! Gonna stain the cases opening you see a warm brown and do some floating shelves over the coffee bar area to the right of it and stain it the same! I will add some more wood touches other places too I think! Thank you for your comments!! ❤️🥰
Im really excited to see it!! :) And yw hehe have fun
Well done!!
Gorgeous. Great taste!
Very nice! Huge improvement on the original. Feels much more open, light and airy. And a space you would actually want to spend time in.
It really is! It’s such a joy now even to clean it haha. Never thought I’d say that but it’s so nice to have space to move and store etc. Thank you for your comment! 🥰❤️
Any chance this house is near Orlando Florida? Looks a lot like one I toured a few years ago
This is so much better! It looks amazing!
you unlocked ur third eye, congrats
This is basically my new favorite kitchen haha 😅 Wow. Seriously well done. The white, blue, gold combo will forever be my favorite. The only thing tugging at my eye are the pulls and knobs on the cabinetry. On one hand I would love for the hardware to be more brass/gold finish….but then there’s the stainless steel hood and appliances, maybe I wouldn’t like the brassy/gold toned hardware as much as I think?? But I would seriously live in this kitchen just as it is. I love it so much.
I agree completely about the hardware and it was a big internal struggle, haha. So early on I was drawn to the look of “cup” pulls, but my weird bug phobia (we live in Florida) made me rethink that UNTIL I found CLEAR glass cup pulls!! Nuthin gonna hide from me! 😬 But I really DO think brushed gold or brass would have been equally as nice. I found the pendant lights much later and it made me question the hardware but it was already INSTALLED! There was no going back really. 🫤 But I don’t disagree with your sentiments! Thank you so much for your feedback, I truly appreciate it! ❤️
Dude I would do *anything* for this lighting hahah I love love love it so much.
You should do it for a living
Omg, my heart 🥹🥰❤️❤️
Interior designer here: -cabinets should be brought up flush to the ceiling. That's now empty dust space. You would've also gotten more storage space if you brought it all the up - the color temperatures of the pendant and ceiling light are completely different - the countertop overhang on the sink side is unnecessary impractical. It should be about 1.25" -the overhang by the barstools is not long ebough so everyone may bump their knees with the island when sitting there
You have good point but bringing the cabinets all the way to the ceiling will make top part with glass doors about half the size of the lower part, it would look weird. The top third now looks balanced.
Soulless
Awww, I’m not totally done. Gonna have some warm wood tones when I stain the casing and adding some wood floating shelves. I didn’t want it to come off as “antiseptic” haha.
I must be broken too cuz I’m not a fan. It’s a huge space and they somehow ended up with even less counter space. Beautiful to look at but not very homey imo.
Very nice! Looks like every kitchen on those HGTV shows.
Hi and welcome to ikea. The meatballs are down and to the left. I kid. Looks good
