Your kitchen is lovely. I’m curious about what you’d change.

Sadly, my kitchen looks like the before kitchen (even the same vinyl floor, with even older cabinets.) Can’t wait for the re-do!

The IKEA cabinets are holding up well so far! The counters are quarts (Zodiaq, “saddle brown”).

Mayr, I think colored backsplashes are gorgeous. We went with white for budget reasons (though white does look nice too). And e-leigh, yes we tiled it ourselves.

Londoncalling, the knobs were from Anthropologie and the drawer pulls were from Restoration Hardware.

Are you pleased with the quality of the IKEA cabinetry? I have considered using them but was unsure of how they’d hold up over time.

Also, what material did you use for the countertops?

Hello,
It looks very good.
My friend is in the process of re-doing her kitchen
and I’ll advice her to look at yours.

my kitchen is also very similar to yours. But didn’t do the backsplash yet. I was also thinking white subway tiles but am also thinking white subway glass. I can’t decide. I went through a color phase also for the backsplash but think I’m staying with white for that classic look. Any suggestions?

IKEA sells kitchen cabinets? I am in the process of re-doing my kitchen. I also have the old fashioned dark wood cabinets. I am going to paint the cabinet boxes white and buy just the white doors. I didn’t IKEA sold cabinets.

Just stumbled across your website and love it. My kitchen is very similar to yours and the one on “Spice Up Your Kitchen”–white cabinets, black accents, red KitchenAid appliances, etc. I’ve been trying to figure out what type of tile to install on the backsplash, and now you’ve got me leaning toward the white subway. Looks great.

I’ve Bookmarked you and will be back! -Julia K

Love your kitchen. May I ask where you found your drawer pulls. I’m looking for some longer than average like yours look to be. Thanks in advance.

your kitchen is awesome! one thing i noticed is that we have the same appliances in the hgtv kitchen. personally, i love the range because it’s a double oven, but i like the finishes in your kitchen because they have a lot of personality. did you guys tile your own backsplash?
