Kitchen Reveal

All Posts, Kitchen, My Home, Tennessee House, Tennessee House Tour

The kitchen is done! Five years and one back surgery later, I finally completed the kitchen renovation. You’ve seen a few sneak peeks as I’ve shared some kitchen cabinet tutorials. Today you get to see the whole room! I’ll just say, it feels GOOD to be done!!! Real good.

Farmhouse kitchen remodel

Kitchen -Before

Do you remember what it looked like before? The biggest impact came from removing the wall separating the kitchen and living room. The cabinets and quartz countertops were nice but I didn’t keep anything from the original kitchen. Just not my style. I sold or gave it all away.

Appliances

It was fun to build a whole kitchen from scratch. To pick out ever single detail, including all the appliances.

Kitchen renovation reveal

I get asked a lot about the refrigerator and freezer set. We bought them at Home Depot along with a 5 year warrantee. The refrigerator stopped cooling earlier this year and it took 44 days to get it repaired. So, in answer to the question which I suspect you might ask, yes. I would buy these appliances again. However, Wes and I both agree that we will only buy appliances from a local “specialty” store that has service technicians on staff.

The KitchenAid Microwave/Oven combo has worked fine. The microwave has convection cooking so you can bake and such in it. However, it’s quite small for baking. We tried it once. There have been many times we wished we had another actual oven. So, in our next kitchen, we will go back to a regular double over and separate microwave.

Gas cooktop cabinet with decorative legs

The KitchenAid 36″ gas cooktop has been decent. It has two 20K BTU burners A 5K BTU simmer/melt burner. My one complaint is that it doesn’t allow you to make slight adjustments. Sometimes something is boiling just a little too hard so I try to lower it slightly. Then it’s too low so I have to raise it… I even look below the pot to see what the flames are doing as I turn the knob – and it doesn’t do anything as I turn it slightly. I keep turning slowly and then suddenly it lowers. It’s not a huge deal, but I want more finite adjustability for my next cooktop.

The 36″ Cavaliere range hood works great and is very quiet. I purchased for less than $400. I wanted an insert so I could build a custom hood. But inserts are expensive. So I decided to work with a decorative vent. We’re happy with it. Wes uses an indoor grill frequently which he uses on the countertop next to the cooktop. With that in mind, in the next kitchen I’m putting in a much larger hood. Then we can cook bacon without the underside of the floating shelves accumulating grease mist.

Countertops Sink and Faucets

I still love my choices for countertops and faucets. Since I have sinks on both ends of the island, I also have matching faucets on both ends. The cooktop countertops are absolute black, matte granite. I had this same granite in my IL kitchen. Still love it too.

Beautiful kitchen renovation reveal

The white leathered granite is a dream. It doesn’t show if it’s dirty. Which, can be a good or a bad thing. You can wipe the counter and five minutes later find a crumb that you missed. Still, I love having the texture so light doesn’t shine across it and constantly show streaks and smears as flat granite often does.

The faucets I purchased are no longer available. I picked them purely because of how they look. They don’t have any special function, like the “in countertop” button that turns on the disposal. I really prefer that to a switch somewhere. The soap dispenser built into the countertop is also something I like. It keeps the countertop clear of clutter.

Farmhouse Sink

I love the Kohler enameled cast iron sinks. The sink on both ends of the island are the same, single basin sink. They have held up really well. There are also dishwashers next to each sink and I LOVE having two sinks and two dishwashers. I will do that again in my next house.

Storage

There is TONS of storage in this kitchen. There are nine drawers on in the island, in addition to the hidden cabinets on the other side. The top three are shallow and used for utensils and such. The bottom six are deeper. Most have peg organizers and two drawers aren’t even utilize. One is full of tea and another hold lids for pans. I love the 12″ appliance pulls from D.Lawless Hardware.

Kitchen with tons of storage
Hidden storage in Kitchen island hidden behind doors that look like panels.

China Hutch and Window Seat

I shared the plans for the base and shared the tutorial for the upper section. This hutch was to have sliding doors like the coffee hutch. These were to have glass rather than panels. However, building in phases doesn’t always pay off. The back track isn’t in the right location so the back door won’t slide. SO–I’m just leaving it open. It looks good. If I didn’t tell you I originally planned on adding glass doors, you wouldn’t expect anything but what you see now. So I’m letting go of that one.

White cabinets in kitchen with window seat and China hutch

The window seat has both a floor vent and a toe-kick vacuum port. Though, we don’t use the toe-kick vacuum port too often. I usually forget it’s there. But it’s there for the rare occasion that someone want’s to use it.

What I would do differently here is I would take out the window and put in a sliding door. I wanted to do that in the beginning but that detail was going to push Wes over the edge. He was already dealing with a lot of stress over demo -which isn’t his favorite. So I let go of the door. It’s all about compromise. 🙂

Coffee Hutch

The coffee hutch is between the dining room and the side entrance to the kitchen. In addition to the sliding doors, I was planning on add a lift up door to hide the small appliances. But decided against it. When we put the house on the market, I’ll stage that area and make it look attractive.

Kitchen remodel reveal

For now, it’s a really functional place for the coffee maker, tea pot and blender. We use all three of those daily and want them readily available.

Pantry

Now that the kitchen is done, it matches the hidden pantry. It took me three tries but I finally got it right.

Walk-in Pantry

Brody kept super close as I was taking pictures of the kitchen. He kept finding his way into my shot so I kept his cute face in one. Behind Brody you can see the doors to the pantry. What a surprise to slide them open and find a big walk-in Pantry!

Kitchen, white cabinets, white granite

We don’t really close the pantry doors very often. Mostly just for pictures or when we’re having people over. It’s nice to have the ability to close them when we want to close off that room. It is a food storage room, after all. I don’t care on a daily basis but I like being able to hide it from guests.

Giant kitchen island

I put a lot of work into building this kitchen. Demo, designing and building…and then it took me five years to get the doors on. What a difference those doors make! We are really enjoying getting to use the kitchen now that it’s done.

It’s been a journey. Thanks for following along!

    How many ways can a person say: ‘wow”! What a beautiful kitchen. The detail, the finish work and layout are fantastic.

    You must be so proud of your efforts. And after all you went through.. (I read, but I never comment..this is my first time). I have dreams of making over my kitchen on my own.. Every time I see a beautiful kitchen like yours, I want to go out to my garage, get my sledge hammer and start demolition.

    Now the hard work is over.. enjoy the product of your efforts and talent..

      Thank you so much for your comment Ann Marie! (Don’t be a stranger. 😉 I’m pretty sure grabbing a sledge hammer is how most of my first major renovations began. Wes will attest to that! He came home to many missing walls that we never discussed being removed! LOL

      Thanks Karen. I use Sherwin Williams ProClassic paint for cabinetry and furniture. My cabinets are semi gloss The color is a custom color that I have been using for years. My store manager calls it Decorator White but it’s not in the system as that. Pick a white that you love and stick with it. That’s my motto.

      Hi Donald. My final cost would do nothing to help you plan for your kitchen. Material costs vary so much by region and through the years. (I have been working on this for 5 years.) Also, I have no idea. I don’t keep track. I balance what I want, with cost and time.

    Beautiful! I feel better about my cooktop aftwr reading this. We just finished a full gut and extension of oir kitchen. I’d been living with 2 burners for 10 years. I’ve had Sears out twice now to fix the flame on my 36″ gas cooktop. Same issue as you. Either it cooks way too hot or not enough, very little control over flame. I’ve been told it’s b/c we have propane instead of natural gas? but at least it’s not just me.

      Thanks. You might choose the window seat – even though you have to walk through the living room, out into the screened porch, then out onto the open porch – to grill. Or you might put in a sliding door and go straight out to the porch from the kitchen to grill. Luckily Wes never spilled any meat juice onto the couch while taking raw steak out to grill. I probably would have had a door in the next day if that’d ever happened. LOL

    I loved your kitchen before it was done, and now I love it even more! I am particularly inspired by your island — I love the sheer size of it, and the fact that the sinks/dishwashers are in the ENDS! (shock, gasp, marvel) I normally despise an island with the sink in it because they always seem to be in the middle which absolutely decimates my prep space (I cook for 7-10 people daily). So I find your kitchen design inspiring! I’m looking forward to watching the rest of your work unfold as you finish up this house.

    Best wishes!
    Donna L.

    P.S. I hope Julie is recovering well — best wishes to her too!

      Thanks! It was fun to have such a large space to design for. I really didn’t have any limitations and got to just do whatever I wanted. I’m glad it turned out well and there weren’t too many things I would change. I think that’s what worries me about building a house from scratch.

      Well, thank you very much. I am glad that we get to enjoy living in it, finished, for a while. Then I’ll start planning my next one. I need a little break first though. LOL

    Did you rise the ceiling in the kitchen. It looks taller in the after picture. You inspire me…I want to be you in my next life.

      No. We added the box beam and painted everything white.

    You have turned out just a unique design, I follow your blog not so long ago, but I want to note that it’s just great, I can’t even imagine how much effort and energy you have spent during this time, and I admire that a woman can do such unimaginable beauty Please answer, you made the counter-top with the sink yourself or ordered on the Internet, I liked it very much, it was big enough to fit the whole family and at the same time functional, but I’m afraid that the white color will be constantly stained, especially if there are small children.

      The countertop is granite that I had fabricated and installed for me. It took 5 guys to install it because it’s so heavy. We have never had anything stain it.
