Great job...love the overall color scheme! -
What a huge job! I love the cabinets and the floor. You did so well on your budget!! -
Awesome job. Lots of work but I am sure you appreciate ir more having done it yourselves. Love the colors!!!!!! Also love all the $$$$ you saved. -
We did the same in our kitchen too except we went Tuscan and all we did was change the paint, the wall border, flooring and added a few tuscan electrial coverups, and pictures etc. Very inexpensive to say and EBay had a lot of those things. The cabinets were stained a little darker is all. -
Great job -
Super impressive job. I absolutely love the copper sink. I love "natural" elements. Where did you get the sink? -
I like the idea that you stayed with the style of your house. I'm sorry, if I see one more solid white kitchen in a beautiful historic home - I may scream. I can't understand how you can call a modern white kitchen - a renovation to the style of a 1890's home. My 2 cents. -
Just in my own observations and tours of historic homes, there were white kitchens. -
I love IT, wow what a job you did on that place! What is in the column that juts out into the counter tops is that HV/AC venting? I really love the backsplash and flooring you chose...everything works so well together.... -
it came out beautiful. i wonder how long it took you! -
Beautiful job! Our 1899 farmhouse eventually needs a full kitchen tear out - except thankfully we'll get to keep our hardwood floors! -
Katja, it took six months including the tear out and beam installation. -
Sharron, that's a chimney coming up from the basement. and thank you!

Paula, I so agree! Living in a very historic place, I've looked at hundreds of old houses. There were white kitchens here and there, but it was common to have darker kitchens because many had wood cookstoves and the darker colors hid the soot and smoke that would sometimes darken the walls.

Suzanne, I bought it on ebay for 300 bucks :)

Don't misunderstand, I think your kitchen is beautiful! @Paula, I just meant that because a kitchen might be white in an historic home doesn't mean it's going against the history of that time period. Now if it's done in a modern style, yes, that would look out of place. It would look out of place, no matter the color.

My house was built in 1896, We moved in 1996 The kitchen was 1950ish I still haven't been able to do much yet but when I do I will go back and look at some of your idea's

What is the name of your kitchen cabinets? I have tried locating them on ebay but there are so many I haven't found the right one yet. Thank you! Mary -
We just moved to a beautiful old house and are in the process of redoing our kitchen. I've heard a lot how people manage to score good deals on ebay for their appliances. My very first experience of buying an appliance on ebay ended up being a total disappointment - I bought a stainless steel range that was depicted on the photograph of the listing and what was delivered was a black rusted range by the same manufacture. My calls to the seller netted a yelling match in which the seller was ...» -
A great job, at an even greater price. What some people spend remodeling a room would almost finish paying off my house. -
Rita, that doesn't sound at all like the 'ebay' I use...I do always check out the buyer ratings and ebay also has a buyer protection program that is for anyone buying from ebay, so not sure how you fell thru the cracks. Personally I wouldn't buy an appliance on ebay as I like to see what I'm buying and 1500 bucks sounds pretty top of the line...I've seen really good ones for far less. Anytime I've had problems with ebay, I've gone thru the buyer protection program and never had an issue. ...»

Terri, I know what you mean! My company redid a deck for a client a few years back and my entire house AND the remodel didn't cost what she spent on her party deck!! lol Thanks for the compliment :)
-
Mary, sorry I missed your message...I bought them at kitchensonclearance.com. They have an ebay store as well, I think, or did have anyway.

I appreciate it when I see a sensible redo! With home prices falling everywhere, I do not see how people can justify spending so much money on redos...most of which I see are not needed! I am just thankful that upon retirement, our house is paid for! It is certainly not the fanciest one in town, but it works for us. Just the upkeep runs us thousands every time something goes wrong! Gee!
