The kitchen is liveable!!! Final update in replies

[mrsukyankee]

I'm so happy with the result so far - we have a bit of finishing work to get done and we're missing a dishwasher (no one can get one from the manufacturers due to Covid in Germany). But we can move into it and use it now. Wahoo.

Here's a few taster pics and if you want more, check out my blog.

They are brick tiles (brick slips). They were here when we moved in and I love them. Thanks.

I clicked through to the blog. That stovetop with the wok burner is a dream! Everything else looks absolutely lovely and I hope you get great use out of it.

YASSSSS so beautiful!!!

[amandakisser]

This looks awesome! I LOVE the color you chose for the cabinets - it works so well against the brick.

[definitelyO]

wow - I LOVE it!!

[TBM]

I love everything!


We have the same kind of corner pullout. It is probably the thing that impresses people the most when we have guests. lol Besides there being a great pullout, I realized that there was some usable space under it. I use the space to store baking sheets, cooling racks and a cutting board.

Yes. My H and I were just saying that.

I love it all! The colors, the brick, and I'm so jealous of your built-in wine fridge.

Dekton Aura 15 - matt. We love it - it's non-porous, can withstand heat and has just a slight bit of texture so it feels different. So far it's been the easiest surface to clean and maintain. And it looks even better in person than in the photos.

We finally have our dishwasher and shelves above our drinks area!

I’m sure you’ll love being in it.

[aprilsails]

That’s a great location for open shelves. Everything looks fantastic and that dishwasher is fancy. I hope you enjoy all your hard work and planning come to life!

I know! When it was pointed out to me in the kitchen place, I thought it was genius. Being able to know how long it will take (forever) and what cycle it is in is very useful.

Beautiful kitchen!

I love love love the exposed brick wall. I had exposed brick in my very first manhattan apartment a million years ago and I still think about it.

Question- do you have a brick exterior? Is there brick anywhere? I ask this because we are renovating our kitchen next month. We live in a 1920s house and I thought some brick in the kitchen would look nice. Maybe on the back wall as an ‘accent’ wall or maybe brick tile as a backsplash. I don’t know. But I posed the question on Houzz and was lambasted at the horror of putting brick up if my house isn’t brick. I had never thought about it. What do you guys say?
