Finished Adel Birch Kitchen!

With much help from you guys, we finally finished our condo's small kitchen. I know it's nothing compared to what many of you have done, but for us, it was a big deal! The before/after shots are in the gallery - I didn't know how to post them here without uploading them to an online account.

Re: Finished Adel Birch Kitchen!

Dorice: your new kitchen is lovely!!
Since you've uploaded your photos into the gallery the easiest way to get them into your post is to click on My gallery (underneath the smilies to the right of the box where you type your post) - that will bring up a window that has thumbnails of the photos you've uploaded to the gallery. Simply select what you want - and the photos will be added to your post. You can add a photo - type some more - add another photo... so that your photos have some description my them in the post. You don't have to do that since we can easily get to your photos in the gallery - just makes it easier to see everything at one.

Looks like you did a wonderful job on your new kitchen. How do you like it ??? Have you got all of your boxes unpacked ??? (I don't yet... but I LOVE my new kitchen!!!) I hope you love yours too...

Doreen

Re: Finished Adel Birch Kitchen!

So that's what Adel Birch looks like with Lansa handles! I really like it! We ended up going with Varde, but I like the Lansa handle so much, that we have two (installed at the end run of the island and at the end run of the wall of cabinets) that we're using as towel bars.

Congrats on finishing! I'm really partial to your design choice of light floor and dark counters - because that's what we did, too, with the Adel Birch. So did Doreen for that matter. LOL at Doreen looking for validation in all the Adel Birch files that she's not a slacker in the putting things away department!

Hope you enjoy lots and lots of great meals in your new kitchen!

Re: Finished Adel Birch Kitchen!

LOL B!!! Apologies Dorice - as this is totally off topic

I'm a slacker.... I'm a slacker...
but I must confess... I've now touched every room in my house. Two weeks ago all the rooms in the upstairs of my house got torn apart ... all carpet removed.... that kinda put a dent in my completion of unpacking boxes ... and gave me a whole lot more boxes to deal with upstairs ...

on top of that we removed wallpaper in two of the rooms - and I'm trying to get the walls painted before I put everything back. Whose crazy idea was it to do all this stuff bing bang bong ?? what on earth was I thinking ?

my house has been in a state of chaos since October .. but boy oh boy has it seen a transformation in 6 months.

note - once you touch something the snowball effect starts ... it's hard to stop that remodel fever that gets going....

Doreen

Re: Finished Adel Birch Kitchen!

Doreen, don't feel bad, i was in a state of chaos from mid-May last yr to 4/13 when the house went on the market, and that date was the ONLY reason my house ever got finished!

Re: Finished Adel Birch Kitchen!

Beautiful kitchen! I love the way backsplash matches the back part of the range, continuous lines.

Re: Finished Adel Birch Kitchen!

Nothing compared? No way! It looks fantastic! Love how you took the afters in the exact same position as the befores. Even though you didn't change the layout, it's amazing what a difference it makes!

Congrats!
Susan
