The paint color in the adjoining dining room Divine paint (which I think has a national distribution) and I can't remember that color name (sorry), I kept a large kitchen book, but didn't write those paint colors down.

RE: nokyeysyet's finished kitchen
| Your kitchen looks great and I really like those windows! Also, that dog-shaped, rug-type-accessory really brings out the highlights in the natural maple cabinets :-) I'll have to remember that when I pick out my cabinet stain... wonder what goes with Greater Swiss Mountain Dog? |
RE: nokyeysyet's finished kitchen
| Very nice! I like the blend of colors, it all goes really well together,(Including the "dog shaped, rug-type accessory" that Free at last mentioned),and your cabinets are beautiful. |
RE: nokyeysyet's finished kitchen
| Your kitchen looks great...nice and clean feeling. Very warm. The dog goes along way in decor. Enjoy! |
RE: nokyeysyet's finished kitchen
| What a cozy kitchen. I love it! Can't wait to see pics of that backsplash up. That mosaic is going to transform an already terrific kithchen to a spectacular one. Congrats! Tudi |
RE: nokyeysyet's finished kitchen
| Gorgeous kitchen Nokeys! Looks like such a very workable space. I love the open and airy feeling. Even plenty of room for Bear and still allows you to cook! Poor cranky bear ;-( I do think it's genetically bred into house dogs for the large ones to lay in the direct path of traffic....and the smaller ones to wrap themselves around your ankles. I'll bet Bear is glad all the hubub is over! |
RE: nokyeysyet's finished kitchen
| Great choices, open yet cozy. That layout must be so easy to work in. Enjoy! |
RE: nokyeysyet's finished kitchen
| Your kitchen looks wonderful. Those little windows are a special touch, but even more it's that picture of your big sink that really talks to me! Happy cooking! |
RE: nokyeysyet's finished kitchen
| It looks great! Do you live in Montauk? I love the faucet and darn why didn't I look at Kitchenaid ranges? I especially love the very large fur baby. What are your plans for the backsplash? Pecan - you crack me up! |
RE: nokyeysyet's finished kitchen
| Beautiful kitchen! I love your maple cabinets. You have really created a nice light, airy feeling that should make it a great place to cook. |
RE: nokyeysyet's finished kitchen
| Congratulations! What a lovely room, I bet you just walk in a gloat. It's great inspiration, I'm awaiting my natural maple cabinets in a few more weeks... |
RE: nokyeysyet's finished kitchen
| Looks great. I think all your selections work really well with the natural maple. Your doggie approves! |
RE: nokyeysyet's finished kitchen
| thanks everyone! your lovely comments really make the last 4 years of obsession melt away! for the poster w/ the Q about the backsplash- it's a great question. in fact Dh & i were just talking about it. i originially was going to run the backsplash  along & behind the counter. but the windows are so great & we love them so much... we don't want to take any of their attraction away. so the long of the short of this answer is: i think i will just put the backsplash here only (just for a hint of colour)
 thanks again everyone! and Bear is very happy to hear he is so popular! |
RE: nokyeysyet's finished kitchen
| what is the flooring? it looks great with the natural maple cabinets! |
RE: nokyeysyet's finished kitchen
| beachmama- it's white oak with a 'natural' stain. glad you like it, i had gone back & forth on that choice for some time. |

Here is my remodeled kitchen. My house is a 1938 cape cod and the old kitchen was REALLY BAD!! It appeared to be a remodel from several different owners. I put up with the old kitchen for 15 years and finally said enough!! I wanted to compliment the style of my house and incorporate a tuscan, southern france feel to my kitchen yet a kind of early colonial kitchen. My favorite part of my kitchen is my floor!! My old kitchen had blue carpet that was impossible to keep clean and in the summer when the humidity was high it was just awful. My old kitchen felt like this dark cave and my ceiling fan was just not enough light. This wasn't a DIY although I did design the kitchen myself. I also custom-made the roman shade on my window (I used to work in a custom drapery shop). My contractor was absolutely wonderful and I would hire him again in a second!! Debi, Madison, WI
