One of our first big projects around the house has drawn to a close. My wife and I have worked the last several weeks to update our kitchen. We hope someday to build an addition to the house for a "start-from-a-blank-sheet-of-paper" designed kitchen, but for the time being, this will do nicely, I think. We started by sketching a design that added a couple base cabinets to form a peninsula, added a wall cabinet above that, and shortened the one over the 'fridge to match the width of the new 'fridge. We painted the base cabinets a flat black, distressed the edges and corners, and protected them with a satin polyurethane finish. The wall cabinets were painted a cream color, and then had the edges and details highlighted with a brown antiqueing glaze, followed by the same satin polyurethane finish. The old tile countertop was removed and replaced with Santa Cecilia Yellow Granite. The old, but still serviceable, sink and faucet were replaced with a single large bowl stainless sink and distinctive faucet set. We are both pretty pleased with our handiwork, and with the new look in the kitchen.

Nice! It looks amazing. I love the distressed edges and corners on the cabinets; the colors of the cabinets are fabulous! Granite countertop... wow, very beautiful! The distinctive faucet set is just that, distinctive. I like it very much. Someday hopefully the hubby and I will have a kitchen as lovely as yours.
Thanks for your comments. We have been eye-ballin' granite counter tops for quite a few years, so it was particuarly gratifying to get them.
