PIP - DIY Kitchen

[vic1011]

Sorry, I haven't been posting much.  Cora is keeping me pretty busy.  For those of you who remember, we built a little house about 6 years ago that we are planning on turning into a garage, planning on building a "big house" that we'd be in forever.  DH builds everything himself.  The big house is in varying stages of finished.  I'll share photos as the rooms are complete.  We moved in 2 weeks ago, I highly recommend moving with a 2 week old - it gets you out of all the heavy lifting!  Though we only moved about 20 feet across the driveway

Here's the kitchen:




my favorite part of the house:


Fridge:


Better view of corner:


Dinning room is on the other side - we need to build a table before that's showable


Better view of pendants


Utility room on the left, pantry on the right


Random baby shot



Details:
Faucet - Kohler Level
Sink - Kraus
Appliances - LG
Granite - Sensa Silver Silk
Cabinets - DH built, Ana White plans, black walnut facings
Cabinet doors - ran out of time to build these, came from The Cabinet Authority - highly recommend
Floors - Mulllican Natural Maple
Pendants - Home Depot

Love it! What kind of wood are the cabinets?

[vic1011]

Black walnut. Facings and drawers from a local guy who has a sawmill, doors we ordered. They ended up matching well!

I love those windows! It looks great. I like the cabinets & floors together.

[munkii]

It's beautiful, and I love the wall of windows.

Pretty. That paint color if fabulous by the way.

Holy gorgeous walnut cabinets. I'm in love. And. I love the granite. I'm typically not a granite person, but I love that.

Gorgeous kitchen! I'd cook up a storm just to spend more time in there.

Lovely! And I love the bold color - reminds me of Martha Stewart lily pad. I'm not a fan of lots of wood but I think it works b/c your cabinets and floors have so much contrast. Congrats!!

Dude, that's gorgeous!! Your husband is very talented!

And I'm with you on the windows - it'd be my favorite part, too!

Beautiful baby!  Your kitchen looks great too, love that color green you used on the wall.  The walnut looks beautiful with your floors.

Here's an older picture.  My garden definitely doesn't look like that this year.  I currently have a lovely dandelion and grass garden.  Cora was born just about the time I usually plant!

Thanks all! We love it. I just need artwork to come in and I'll share another room or two Cora's nursery is next on deck. Just waiting on a canvas for over her crib to get here!

[prazenjc]

looks great! and the baby is a wonderful bonus to include at the end, too.

[mrs.jacinthe]

Oooooh. What a great view!

[janine19]

Thanks!

I just found the color swatch.  It's Olympic Guacamole, though we had it color matched to valspar last time lowes was having a sale.

[spunkarella]

So, so pretty! I love it!

Love it! The colors, the cabinets, the window frames, everything!
