You did an amazing job. I especially LOVE the backsplash, it's awesome and unique. I have the exact same cabinets, still in Oak or whatever it is. I'd like to make 1-2 of them with a glass panel, how did you pull that off, the glass with the mullions in them? Love that. If it were me, I'd paint the kitchen window to match the cabinets. As well, because you have spices on either side of the window (super cute and clever) I'd put a blind, french roll up or cute country curtains on the window as all that light on your spices will spoil them very quickly. Normally spices need to be kept in a closed dark pantry. OR, since you're so clever, maybe you can find some really cute white opaque jars that you can label and store your spices in them. You did such an awesome job. I am kind of sorry now that I just sold my 8 foot butcher block slab I got at Ikea a few years ago for a different kitchen make over. They cost way more now than they did a few years ago. Ikea is a wonderful source for kitchens. I got my cabinet and drawers there, found the fronts-beautiful shaker brand new-at Habitat for Humanity (it's amazing what you can find there if you go regularly) as well as storage stuff like pull out waste basket and recycling for next to the sink etc. They also have nice appliances there. I got a stunning oven/microwave combo that looks like double ovens, stainless really beautiful. I feel inspired by your post now to get busy on my kitchen. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Your kitchen is lovely. Was this smoke from a fire or cigarettes? I can't wrap my head around people smoking enough to do that kind of damage-Gross. BTW We renovated a kitchen and got our Butcher block- from lumber liquidators-comes in 8 or 12' lengths and 24" or 48"(?) width. Also the lighter natural or Walnut.
We used walnut with white cabinets and it is really a good look.
You made a great call on your tile. Good job
I don't see any knobs or drawer pulls. What did you use?
Why didn't you paint the wood on your window white since evething else is white?
