We are not quite finished our latest kitchen project but I thought I would share some photos since it's close to done and you can see how things are coming together. This time we used the Ikea Abstrakt white high gloss kitchen cabinets with white quartz counters and calacatta marble bullets for the backsplash. I'll post the sources later this week when we are completely finished. Here's a few before and after kitchen photos.
Before...
After...
One thing I love in this kitchen is the faucet. I think it's got that ultra modern look that just goes so perfectly in this space. I purchased it from Rona (in Canada). It's the Uberhaus brand.
Here's a close up of the calacatta marble bullets. I was honestly surprised at how busy the tile was and also how many coppery tones there were in it. The small sample we had was more subtle looking. I understand with marble it all depends on the cut of the stone. I still think it looks amazing and achieved the look I was going for.
I decided not to add a cabinet in between the windows like the old kitchen had. I think it makes it feel more open and spacious this way and allows more light to come in. Having a few open shelves in a kitchen allows for some serious styling anyway.
Some filler pieces and trim still need to go on and of course some cleaning and unwrapping of that beautiful KitchenAid double oven gas range that I really wished accidentally ended up at my house. Apparently the delivery driver didn't feel the five bucks that I slipped him was enough to make the detour and risk his job over. Check back later this week for more photos as well as a list of sources. Enjoy your great week!!
