We did a lot of remodeling in our kitchen. It started out wallpapered with oak cabinets, no hardware, white laminate countertops and a white laminate backsplash. We (and when I say we, I mean our contractor and his men) scraped the popcorn ceiling, retiled the entire floor, installed new black honed granite countertops, white marble subway tile for the backsplash, a new undermount sink, new hardware for the sink and cabinets, new light fixture above the sink, and painted the cabinets white!
And it's so pretty!
Before, hello 1986.
After, all white, gray and black. I know, kind of boring color scheme, but it needed some brightening up!
More before.
Below, looking from the fireplace toward the eating area. We knocked out that wall, this looks completely different!

absolutely gorgeous, Im staring the post on my reader as I want to check it again carefully from home, such a good job!
Brilliant!!!! I knew we should have painted our cupboards. I'm going to show this to the hubs to see if he'll agree :)
Not boring at all....just beautiful.
We had a bid in on a house that would need a new kitchen. Yours is exactly what I wanted to do. Unfortunately the house was falling off it's foundation so we withdrew our offer...
Don't be surprised if Chanda and I randomly show up on your front porch for a visit. :-)
any time rochelle! that would be fun!! :)
Your kitchen is beautiful. White/black classic. Just gorgeous.
Leslie, what faucet is that? I am having a hard time selecting a new faucet - sink is picked, granite will be installed on the 26th...just need to find the faucet!! I love yours!
Hi Meredith,
I don't know the exact model of the faucet, but it is manufactured by Delta.
Can I visit and hang out with you in your beautiful kitchen?!?

Your kitchen is wonderful!!
Love your faucet, subway tile and LOVE that your kitchen cabinets have double decker doors vs one large one. Where did you get your cabinets?
Your house looks amazing!
Nevermind, I just looked again and they are the ones that were there, just painted - right?
I need to be more observant before I ask questions! :-)
Oh it's so beautiful! Totally crushing on this.

Lovely! What is is your countertop?
Stacey, our countertop is Absolute Black Granite, Honed rather than polished.
glad you like it!

Leslie - Did you paint the cabinets yourself? I am so on the edge of doing ours, but I am worried I'll get about half way through and be so frustrated and we'll end up with stripped cabinets for the rest of our lives. The whole kitchen is gorgeous!
Leslie, I just came across your blog and love it! Your kitchen remodel is gorgeous - I am dying for a white kithen. Your curtains in there are so pretty - do you recall where they are from?
