We obviously used Ikea abstract white high gloss cabinets. The uppers were the extra tall cabinets. Counters are white quartz. Back splash is calacatta marble bullets from Saltillo Tile. Wall paint is Benjamin Moore Cloud white. The faucet is Uberhaus brand from Rona. Appliances are Kitchen Aid. (I'm loving these double oven ranges. I think they are perfect for places where there are space or budget restrictions). The floating shelves are from Home Depot. The hardware is from Ikea and are the Blankett handles.
Speaking of hardware...here are a few tidbits I learned during this renovation and kitchen planning process. First, you can see in some of these pictures there is a small 12" base cabinet on the left side of the stove. It is a basic cabinet with a door. I had no choice but to use it there as a corner cabinet would not fit and there were no 12" base cabinets with drawers. So FYI for anyone looking to use Blankett handles, they don't make a 12" handle to fit these cabinets so we ended up having to use one of the really small handles (I believe they are about 1.5 to 2") and they look like the Blankett handles or were made to compliment them (sorry I can't find these particular ones on the Ikea website right now so I don't know the exact name). I do like these smaller handles and it is pretty discreet being at the very top of the door and right under the counter so it's not that noticeable, but it would have been nicer to have all the same handles especially since we also used the longer ones on the upper cabinets as well.
Now, on that note...I wish I had of used the smaller handles on the upper cabinets. I don't mind the longer ones but I can see now how the shorter ones would have maybe been a little cleaner or sleeker looking and also added some interest with the change in hardware. That's one thing I'm still learning: different is good, contrast is my friend. Aesthetically speaking they would have been nicer but I also learned the hard way that they would have functioned better too since you need to be careful with what is beside each door and how it will open and whether the handle will hit anything. I've always taken this into consideration with lower cabinets especially near corners and on drawers but I realized after installing the handle on the upper cabinet in between the fridge and stove, that whenever we open the door, the end of the handle (closest to the corner by the fridge) ended up scratching the fridge panel when opened all the way. It wasn't a big deal since the cabinet door could still be opened wide enough without scratching it but a smaller handle would have been much better.
