It is really a gorgeous kitchen! I have been scouring books for months and trying to figure out what I want. I wander if that's the hard part! :) Only one thing I would change, the lighting. I would put in recessed, or pendant to give it an updated look. Otherwise, great job and thanks for the inspiration!

The layout is great, the kitchen looks so much bigger and lighter. Great transformation!

Nice job - we're in the beginning process of a similar project, reusing as many of the cabinets as we can and will add to the oak cabinets w/black, so as to not try to "match" the color of the existing ones. There's so much to think about/consider. We talk, measure, draw, argue, and retreat! Luckily we're about 2 years from starting! Thanx for sharing the pictures!
