Well, I must say, I had to get my hands on this kitchen.. In fact, the whole house. When I married my husband Paul, the house was cold and grey. Everything was so boring. If I had the chance , I would have knocked out walls to make the kitchen larger. We stayed within the footprint. I had always thought the old kitchen cabinets
looked like garage cabinets...ick!
Ok, here is the change...........
We love the Travertine. We wondered why we didn't put it in sooner. What a difference! The kitchen cabinets are Kraftmaid.
My husband & I installed the backsplash ourselves. We used 4x4 tumbled travertine...scabas. We added larger copper grapes for an accent.
This is the view from our kitchen window.....
Notice my red pots? My Kitchenaid mixer and my tea kettle.
I love this glass. it's cathedral......Kraftmaid.....
We keep our pots and pans in these drawers.....
I just love the details on our cabinets. We went in and out and up and down with decorative molding and trims.
My new cannisters are from JCP...Chris madden again....

We had our refrigerator covered in skin and drawer panels.
I'm linking up with Sheila over at Note Songs for her Heart of the Home party. Be sure to visit her and see all of those wonderful spaces.. Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful day!

What a beautiful kitchen! What a difference a wife makes ;). I love the tile, the glass door, lighting, heights of the tops, 'fridge door. I'd better quit gushing, you get the idea.
ReplyDeleteI love "before" and "afters" and this was one fantastic makeover! It really warmed and cozied up the whole space. I truly think knocking out walls wasn't necessary. IMHO, you have the PERFECT size kitchen...not too big, not too small, and it appears you have lots of great cabinet space. Love the molding details! Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteHi L,
ReplyDeleteI love your kitchen, especially your travertine floor and backsplash with the added metal accents. I say, "WOW!"
Check out my book giveaways.
G'morn, Linda ~ Your redo is perfection to the most minute detail. I love your view, the light filtering in & the brightness of the decor.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful day ~

ReplyDeleteHi Linda! Oh, my goodness. What a difference! You have vision, Dear One, and your idea for a new kitchen was wonderful! I love your pretty cabinets and all the detail you've put into your kitchen. I love your red appliances.

What a beautiful Kitchen you have! The remodel came out wonderfully! Great job! :)
ReplyDeleteWow- what a change beautiful cabinets, granite, and marble made to this room! It is wonderful, Linda. The kitchen in our house in definitely on the list for improvement, but the baths have to get done first. Love all the tile you had done in the entry, too. It totally changed the look! It is all so much warmer. And your view out the window is positively gorgeous- lucky you to be able to have great CA weather.
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping by- I have so much to do to get ready to leave for NC. I will have 2000 posts to read by the time I get back! Right now there are about 700! Yikes- I better get busy. LOL
I am endlessly impressed with people who can tile stuff...I can only imagine the mess I'd make...your kitchen is large and lovely :)
ReplyDelete(and I noticed your Leopard Fairy...she is too darling)

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Your kitchen is my favorite, if i had a kitchen i would want it to be like this. :) So wonderful! :) I love it!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, Linda your kitchen and home are just beautiful!! Thanks for your lovely comments on my blog and I am so happy to have found you! You are an inspiration. xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteThe blank walls and bland decorating was all part of my plan to attract someone like Linda, who loves to create. It's costly at times but I love the results. Linda's husband Paul
ReplyDeleteIt's as if you just did a magical overhaul. From boring to inspiring - that's splendid work indeed. I dare say that homeowners can learn a thing or two about you as far as transforming and remodeling are concerned. What you did here was more than just a facelift - this is a kitchen rebirth. Marvelous.
ReplyDeleteGood day Linda.
ReplyDeleteI love how you have enclosed your fridge. I also have kraftmate cabines in a natural. Not something I would have selected; I would have went with the ivory colored cabinets. How did you go about having the fridge done. I have stainless with double doors and the freeze is a pull out draw on the bottom. I just love your home, it's georgous.
Hi Linda.
ReplyDeleteWhat a Gorgeous redo! Your kitchen is so pretty. I know you enjoy the new look you have now Beautiful.
I sorry I miss this post. Hope you both have a wonderful week.
XXOO Diane
Beautiful new look for your kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your kitchen! <3
ReplyDeleteLinda
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog on your kitchen remodel. Beautiful!! I am so curious about your refrigerator. Could you please tell me how you had the panels made/installed? I just had a GE built-in removed (it was the only one available to compare with a Sub-Zero 14 years ago--what a nightmare--another story)...I would love to have wood panels on my stainless that is so hard to keep clean. Would love to hear from you.
Thanks
Maureen
Hey Linda,
ReplyDeleteI was looking for kitchen remodeling ideas and found your blog on your kitchen remodel. Really amazing!! I love the tile, the glass door, lighting, heights of the countertops. You have the PERFECT size kitchen...not too big, not too small.
I'm glad that you share the pictures now I can show it to my husband and is in great favor of KNOTTY pine cabinets. I am sure after seeing these pictures he will realize that they are not in style anymore.
Regards
Ruben
you have an amazingly beautiful kitchen!
ReplyDeleteThis article is really the one that I needed. I really learned a lot by reading the whole content. Thanks for this.
