Re: The little kitchen that could and did……my finished dream Adel White kitchen project!!

Love it! actually a little similar to mine--those Adel cabinets are the best--your kitchen is happier, friendlier than mine. I think because of the great granite color you chose and the Victorian handles. They're wonderful. I'm a little more severe in my decorating, I think. anyway, I am totally jealous of all your drawers. i only have one and need to still create an island to get more in. and a great idea for the dog food. great job.

Re: The little kitchen that could and did……my finished dream Adel White kitchen project!!

Thanks Ruggles - I noticed you are a new member - wanted to wish you a warm welcome to Ikeafans!!!

I love the drawers. Never have to bend over to get anything - the dog food drawer is outstanding improvement for us. My kitchen was well over a year in planning and love it. thanks for the compliments.

The light fixture happened to be a great chance buy - I had originally planned on purchasing this one:

Schoolhouse Pendant - Kitchen Pendants - Shop by Category - Lighting

or this one:
Rhone: Classic Schoolhouse Pendant

I had searched and searched locally to find one and couldn't - was just about to order from RH or Rejuvenation when we walked into a dumpy going out of business lighting store and they had the one I now have in shinny brass - one can of matte black spray paint and voila - my dream light fixture.

Deb, you wound up with an absolutely beautiful kitchen. And I have to say I LOVE LOVE LOVE the domsjo in the space (i really do think it's my favorite sink, such a perfect use of space)

And I'm betting your little mod to the left of the sink becomes the new "what to do"

Kudos to you, enjoy that kitchen!!!!

Deb you rocked that mission statement! I can honestly say "WOW!" to that space. I too love the wall color, the Adel looks crisp and inviting, the granite and floor work so well together, your photos in their great black frames, the well-executed carpentry and modifications add up to a really super space. I can totally understand how happy it makes you!!

Silver Sage looks great in your kitchen. I think BM's match is grey mist, because I am tentatively planning on painting a bathroom or bedroom - funny how different it can look in different spaces.

Re: The little kitchen that could and did……my finished dream Adel White kitchen project!!

I think your statement below says it all
"It is amazing how what I thought I wanted when I wrote my mission statement morphed into what we have now and to be honest with you I am 100% happy with every decision we made and every change we made from our initial mission statement."

It is truly amazing to see what we go through in a kitchen remodel. However, if a result like yours is going to be the end result, WOW!!! A great, nice, airy and bright kitchen like yours is worth every second you waited.

Congrats!

HI,

Actually if you go to BM and ask the for the match for RH silver sage it is a much warmer color than the grey mist - they grey mist is a cooler grey - I lived with it on the walls next to a sample from RH and then went to BM to match the SS exactly and they already had the formula in their computer for the entire RH line.

Just my .02
