Introduction:
We replaced the counters, sink, faucet, backsplash, and cooktop. Kept the cabinets but put some glass in a few and switched out some hardware. Kept the fridge and DW. I considered replacing the Thermador double ovens, but they work great and so now am considering them "vintage".

Kitchen Highlights:
  • Cabinets: existing (original color similar to Benjamin Moore White Dove)
  • Counters: Jet Mist (aka Virginia Mist) honed and enhanced, dupont edge on island and eased edge on perimeter
  • Cooktop: Wolf 36 inch five burner gas (we switched from electric to lp gas)
  • Downdraft: Thermador
  • Backsplash: 3x6 white lanka beveled subway tile, 3x6 breil chair rail tile
  • Faucet: Blanco "Grace", chrome with sidespray
  • Sink: Elkay undermount single bowl, 18 gauge stainless
  • Hardware: Richelieu 3 inch chrome pulls, HD chrome knobs, glass knobs on lower doors but can't remember source

bestyears' Kitchen

Costa Esmeralda/Creamy Budget Re-Do


Details from bestyears posted on Jan. 3, 2010

Link to bestyears' Before&After photo

Introduction:
We essentially we started with an oak cabinet, laminate counter, white tile on the floor kitchen. We painted the cabs creamy white, put granite on the counters, wood laminate on the floors, creamy white subways on the backsplash and a sink from IKEA. That was our kitchen facelift.

Details:
      • Cabinets are original, painted BM Linen White. No grain filling, just two coats of primer and two coats of paint, and the inside of the cabs is done as well. I always do all my own painting but farmed this one out after I got a really good price that included the cabinets, taking down the wallpaper, retexturing and painting walls, and repairing and repainting water-damaged ceilings in three rooms.
      • Countertops:Costa Esmerelda
      • Backsplash tiles are Emser Cape Cod series in cream (very pretty, crackled and glazey looking in real life). Emser tile, called "ARTISAN CREAM CRACKLE" from the Cape Cod series. I think our pattern was called Seashore. I really love it. It was one of our splurges. I bought mine through ProSource. Here's a link to the tile: Seashore Cape Code Tile
      • Walls are painted are Ben Moore Coastal Fog.
      • Floor is laminate, which I will have to go look up.
      • The table was a $100 CL buy, and I refinished it (first time I've done that, LOL!) 
      • Pendants are RH Benson from Ebay.
      • Faucet is Kohler Clairette (LOVE it!) from Ebay
      • Sink is Double Domsjo from IKEA (LOVE it!). D
      • The Fruit of the Spirit plaque is from ETSY.
      • The cabinet hardware is mostly IKEA and some came from LOWEs (the shorter pieces).
      • Chalkboard is from IKEA. 
      • Island: bought as an old dresser off CL, added the walnut top and legs ourselves
      • Barstools: World Market seagrass
      • Drawers, hood change-out, and cabinet over fridge done by local carpenter
      • The piece with the lighted top is also a CL find, and is actually an office armoire that I use for all my bill-paying, websurfing, etc.
      • I painted and distressed the chairs, which were our old kitchen chairs, but they are a bit too white, and eventually I'll get around to re-doing them

          Details:
          • Cabinets: original C Classic in cherry. Painted Benjamin Moore Linen White. Custom soffit/hood cover made by our contractor.
          • Countertop: Black Venata soapstone
          • Backsplash: Ann Sacks Capriccio in Antique White
          • Appliances:
            • Stove: Wolf 48" DF
            • Hood: Wolf
          • Plumbing:
            • Sink: stainless Franke FHX710-33C (now discontinued, but available at homeandstone.com). Sink is not undermount; it was installed flush with the soapstone countertop.
            • Faucet: Franke FHF 300
            • Pot Filler: Giagni (overstock)
          • Hardware: Restoration Hardware

          Background:While my kitchen was fine before, I wanted to love being in it. I wanted more room so we removed the island. I've always wanted a Wolf Range and this was the only way I was getting it. We also desperately needed to lighten it up. Because we only have one tiny window and it's on the west side of our house, we don't get much sun.

          I LOVE not having that island. The kitchen was simply too small for an island. It was obtrusive and clustered. I never used it to cook on, so I didn't lose any "prep" space. I felt that I couldn't move in the kitchen before

          Features:

          Apron Sink
          Bookshelf
          Glass Doors
          Potfiller

          doggiemom's Kitchen

          Refinished Kitchen with Green Slate Backsplash

          Introduction:
          My kitchen "facelift" is 99% complete. I just need to add some switchplates and the undercabinet lighting. The house is 9 1/2 years old and the kitchen needed an update. Like many before me I want to thank everyone on this forum for your help, ideas and support. I know I am happier with the way the kitchen turned out as a result of the ideas I've gotten and the things I've learned here. And having this forum to turn to during the rough patches truly helped my anxiety level

          Details:
          • Perimeter cabinets are original - painted in Vellum by Porter with chesnut glaze - upgraded molding
          • Island and fridge cabs are Kraftmaid birch with chocolate glaze
          • Countertops - Tropic Brown granite
          • Cooktop - Kitchenaid
          • Sink - Elkay double bowl
          • Faucet - Kohler Vinnata (like you didn't know)
          • Backsplash - Daltile Continental Slate in Brazilian green with natural slate border
          • Wine Cooler - GE Profile
          • My oven and microwave are originial to the house and are 9 1/2 years old. They are JennAir.
          • The cooktop is new, it is Kitchenaid model #KGCS105GSS with a retractable downdraft vent in back.
          We never used the desk area as a desk so that big hole underneath was just wasted space. We love wine so that seemed like a better option, (looks cool too).
          The backsplash was the first element I chose for the kitchen. I wish the photos could do justice to the colors, it's got a lot of variation and is very organic looking. My granite is Tropic Brown which can vary quite a bit, I specifically chose slabs that have green undertones with clear black specks and I'm very happy with the way it looks with the backsplash.
