We're in the process of transforming our kitchen on a budget to fit our style.
We painted cabinets, swapped out hardware, painted walls, installed new granite countertops, new zero radius sink and faucets, marble subway tile backsplash, removed vinyl and luan and opted for distressed bamboo when the old original wood floor didn't match up with the plywood addition, removed a pantry and installed a pot rack and French doors. We still need a stove backsplash, baseboards, DIY kitchen island and a larger refrigerator. This is our forever home and we love the change.
Lisa - Thanks! We're probably going to start with base cabinets. I don't have the skills to build from scratch but after looking at some online, I do think we have a little bit of a custom touch we'd like to incorporate with seating on one side.
I built a beautiful kitchen island from scratch, and it took a long time!
How about starting with a white kitchen table, with a with a wood surface attached about 8 inches up, and build onto the top, to bring it to desired height? Black granite on top.
Every time I get really depressed about my pitiful kitchen I come back to look at this new kitchen of your's and dream. Beautiful kitty kat too. I have a beautiful boy Maine Coon that adopted me, named Sugar.
Awe, Sheryll...you just made my day. If I was local, I'd help you with your kitchen! I love the challenge. ;) My husband has a Maine Coon as his office cat (or VP of Public Relations as he says). "Sneaks". They're adorable cats. I love the furbaby in your profile pic too!
I love the marble backsplash. I am going with just white subway tile because this isn't our "forever" house but the richness of the tile with your counters look amazing Roeschel.

I really like the asthetics of your kitchen!
You have great vision!
