SonshineLearner Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Really beautiful; I'm so happy for you!! (ok, and a tad bit jealous of how lovely it is.... I have some old fir beneath my feet right now... I'm telling you... it doesn't look like that!!:)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I love it!!!! Did you guys do it yourselves or did you hire it out? I can't wait to redo ours. We replaced all the carpet in our house (except for bedrooms) with wood and tile flooring, we added a sunroom to the back of our house, and just replaced our old front door. Next up is a kitchen remodel, but I'm not sure when that will be. I can't wait though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughing lioness Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) Warm from the oven! Chocolate chip and snickerdoodle! This is the kitchen that previously had 6' (on a good day!) of counter space. I was kinda bummed we couldn't afford something higer end for the counters but I'll take the space over material any day! We had a house fire a year ago in Oct so we hired a lot out. The kitchen was totally done by contractors (except the problem with the coutner my dh replaced himself and painting- oh, and the kids and I did ALL of the trim staining ourselves- hundreds of yards of it!). After the fire the kitchen was GONE, leaving an 18' hole in the house! Amazing isn't it? Edited January 16, 2011 by laughing lioness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish I could come in person. It looks so inviting. One question though....where's the food? I need something to nibble on! Becky, I don't know what brand our hardware is! We went through a local vendor (actually a good friend of ours was our salesperson) and we bought most of our wood through him as well. Do you love yours? I really love the pulls! and the knobs. I had originally picked handles and I changed to knobs last minute. I think my kids (the locusts) took the food downstairs. But there's more! And it's all calorie free!

DawnM Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Very nice! What kind of countertops are they? Laminate? They are a nice color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughing lioness Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 The counter tops are laminate. It was fairly inexpensive for how much space we covered. My dh picked the color. I liked something with more contrast but my dh is mellow on the color/contrast man (he thinks ecru is really going out on a limb color wise!). It picks up the colors from the darker and lighter wood really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It picks up the colors from the darker and lighter wood really well. This made me giggle.... Your kitchen is really nice. I like how functional it is---I've seen some HUGE kitchens lately that seem like they are too big to really be practical....oh and you did great spending your money on cabinets...you countertops are lovely but if you ever want to upgrade countertops that is easy...
