It has been a while since I’ve done an update on the kitchen, and things are so so close to being done! Last check in, we had just finished off extending the countertop, backsplash, and floors into the expanded kitchen space that was created when we removed the wall that led to the old laundry room/pantry. We also installed all the additional door and drawer fronts. Now from the front door instead of seeing the washer and dryer, it’s all kitchen!
We also swapped out an old lamp for another Cedar & Moss light fixture (you can spot it on the ceiling by the refrigerator), added the rest of the cabinet pulls, and found an under the counter microwave to fit in a 24″ cabinet space. We then had SemiHandmade make us a custom sized drawer front for beneath it (about 2″ taller than the standard ikea drawer) to finish it off.
Now the only thing left to do in here is to finish trimming out the top of the cabinets. Phew! Dinner party anyone? 😉

Oh man, that hardware is killing me! Absolutely stunning
Sarah this looks perfect! The color on the cabinets is spot on.
Your kitchen is simply stunning. The colors are incredible and everything looks so fresh! Love it!
your house is so beautiful it really kills me. no words but WOW

Your kitchen is so lovely. Would you mind telling me how high your ceilings are in the kitchen? Thanks!
Hi Heather, Yes, our ceiling in the kitchen is 8′ & 4″. I am not sure why it is such a random height but I am thankful for the extra 4 inches. ha
that hardware is perfection! and i’m dying over the backsplash. so good!
It’s simply stunning! Great renovation.
Gorgeous! I love your refrigerator. Would you mind posting which make/model it is?
Thanks Jill, The refrigerator is an Active Smart by Fisher & Paykel. x
this kitchen is out of a dream! 🙂 stunning!
Beautiful! I love how everything is coming together. I love those pendants, and have a quick question. My ceiling is angled, do you think these pendants would hang straight even with a small angle?
Hi Veronica, Yes! They are actually originally designed for a mid century slanted ceiling so they would work perfectly. x
Dreamy…
gorgeous. love the lighting fixtures.
So beautiful! Hard to believe there are Ikea cabinets in there somewhere. Love all the hits of brass and gold and the peek into your den.
On a tangent, do you mind sharing what camera you used to shoot these images? They are lovely. xo
Hey Dana, Thank you and of course! I use a Canon 7D for my interior shoots. xo
Possibly my favorite kitchen ever. Love every single detail you chose. Well done!!!!
it’s looking amazing sarah! where did you get those lovely copper containers sitting on your counter? such a nice, warm touch. xx jacqueline
Thanks Jacqueline, I found them at the long beach flea market! X
Can you post the brand and model of the range hood, please?
Yes, Pretty please share the name of the range hood. I’m drooling for it and need one.
So in love with this kitchen ! You’ve done an amazing job !! 🙂
Hi. Any chance you have sourced door lever handles that perfectly compliment the kitchen cupboard hardware? We’re building (in Australia) and I’m interested in the same hardware you’ve used but in black but as we’ll have a walk-in panrty and study doors very close to the kitchen cupboards (and because I’m picky) I’d like the lever passage handles on those doors to match the kitchen hardware. On the off chance you found a matching one for your lanudry door I thought I’d ask you. TIA.
Wow…. I love this. All of this. I think those handles are so great.
Sarah it’s so beautiful! I just finished (well almost – still have to tile the splashback and paint the floor and find stools…) my own kitchen reno and your cabinetry colour has me rethinking the dark grey/blue colour I did for the sides and back of our island (it’s panelled). I might wait till summer though when a lighter change will be welcome. I’ve really loved following your renovation and I have yet to see you put a foot wrong! It’s all come together beautifully – my fave! x
the brass pulls are my favorite. They look amazing in that space!
Just love your home updates, thanks for sharing. And thank you so much for linking everything. Cedar & Moss is such a great find for affordable lighting!
Yours truly,
J.

Sarah this is absolutely beautiful! My fiancee and I are beginning a huge renovation, just like you! I would love to know what sizes you used for your hardware?
Thank you!
Absolutely gorgeous! I love the cabinet color and hooray for being in the home stretch of reno completion! We used this same hardware in our kitchen and I absolutely love it!
excellent progress! love the wood floor. xx. gigi. http://www.gigikkitchen.com
WOW. It’s just about done! YIPEE!! Looks amazing.
I love these posts!
So lovely Sarah! I can’t wait to have all our reno work behind me 🙂
Hi Sarah!
Your kitchen is simply perfection! You have such a great sense of aesthetic; all your work is very inspiring! Can you please give the sources for the range and the hood?
Thank you so much
Sarah, this is gorgeous!!!! Love all of the touches you chose, especially the colors and the touches of brass in the hardware and lighting. I also would like to know where you got your white hood it is awesome, thanks!
PS: Also loved your built-in shelving post makes me jealous

Thank you for posting your hardware source! I have been looking for cabinet pulls for quite some time and haven’t been able to find anything great in Canada for a reasonable price (there is a lot to choose from, but we can’t afford what we want!). It’s been hard to shop online for them because I’m not entirely sure which sites to trust. Thank you 1 million times over and over and over…
Did you put side panels on the upper white cabinets near the sink? And are there spacers where the white cabinets hit the walls or do the doors open just fine if they’re flush? Thanks!
This looks gorgeous! I am trying to accomplish a similar design. Can you tell me the distance between the sink and island?
Lovely! Please share what is the paint color for your cabinets.
Hi Lucy, Thank you, the cabinet color is listed in the sources!
Would love to know the sink source please. Thank You!
[…] I LOVE brass fixtures. I just love them. They are not for everyone, but they are definitely for me. The contrasting upper and lower cabinets are gorgeous. The white cabinets open the space up, and the grey lower cabinets add some color. The marble countertop and backsplash add just a hint of glamour, and the peek-a-boo counter adds counter space and allows for conversation while cooking. I would love to have something like that in my current kitchen. See more here on Smitten Studio. […]

Hi Sarah!
Your kitchen is breath taking and is the inspiration for my kitchen re-do! Mine is laid out the same! Could you tell me what size of the hardware pulls you used? Also what brand the fridge is? Thank you so much! So glad I found your site!
Your kitchen is absolutely gorgeous and the inspiration for our kitchen renovation! We too are using Ikea cabinet boxes. I’m wondering if the exposed sides of your upper cabinets are the Ikea cabinet sides themselves or if you used a panel to build them in and then painted that panel the same color as your doors. Thank you!
Hi Leah,
Yes! they are panels from Semi-Handmade.
Hi Sarah –
Greetings from Brooklyn! I discovered the Semihandmade product from your blog – thank goodness I stumbled upon it as your cabinet style, color and Calcutta marble choices have been my inspiration. Can I ask you how thick your marble countertops are – wondering if they are 1.25 inches or thicker?
Many thanks for your reply and sharing your design expertise with us!

Hi Sarah
Love your kitchen! We’re in the UK and planning a kitchen extension in the spring and I’ve done sooo much research. Yours is one of the few remodels that I can honestly say makes my heart beat a little faster whenever I see it. It’s not quite hubby’s style, so we’re going for white gloss cabinetry. However your comment about having what you love has firmed my decision to go for a marble splashback! But I must ask, what is the small brass ‘cap’ sitting beside your Solna tap (faucet)?
Hi Irene, Thank you! That little cap is a vent for the dishwasher. Best of luck with your remodel!
Thanks Sarah, gosh, I’d never have guessed as we don’t usually have those in the UK because our water regs are different from yours.
I’ve seen some beautiful white gloss kitchens using the Lewis Dolin bar handles, I think they used Ikea Abstrakt cabs, — that’s the sort of ‘Pretty Modern’ look we’re going for. We’re probably going to steal your faucet idea too. Thanks for the inspiration.

Love everything! How is that built-in microwave working for you? Do you like it? Is it a pain bending down for the controls? I’m debating a microwave drawer, but they’re expensive (!), and I didn’t know there were other options until I came across your post… Thanks!
We love the microwave down below. Couldn’t be happier.

I love your kitchen and am installing the same pulls as you did. I’m just curious how you feel that have held up? Do the small pulls seem to loosen? Any comments or tips would be appreciated
We have completed our kitchen. We did the white on top, grey on bottom, same pulls, a different marble. I ordered a bosch stove slide in (looks similar to your by coincidence) Is that a Bosch? We are loving it.Going to blog about marble later today.
Love your kitchen so much, was excited to see you went with Semihandmade doors/panels and Ikea cabinets as have been considering them for our kitchen, but wondered how the Ikea cabinets are standing the test of time and use? Thank you!

Hi Sarah! Would you mind sharing which size cabinet hardware you used? I am going back and forth between the 12″ and 16″ and seeing them on your cabinets helps to figure out which size to go with 🙂

Hello Sarah!
Love your kitchen renovation! Can you tell me what length is the globe light fixture including shade and the size of your shade?
Thank you!
Hi Sarah,
I LOVE your kitchen. Would you mind telling me the width of your shaker cabinets’ stile and rail? Are they 2 1/4″? Thank you!
Hi Sarah – Ive been loving this kitchen since I first saw it! Beautiful work. I have been looking for counter stools – in the same vane as yours and not too excited by what I ma finiding. Are yours new – if so, will you please share your source? Thanks in advance
I’m planning to paint my cabinet doors. Can you please share if your cabinet door paint has a sheen like semi gloss or satin or flat? And did you lacquer after? Thank you
Hi Sarah,
I love the hardware. Curious whether you went with brushed brass or polished brass.
Thanks!
El
its the brushed!
Hi! Love your kitchen Remodel. In the process of designing Our own Ikea kitchen. What is the brand of the microwave. Looking every where to find a microwave with trim kit that fits a 24″ cabinet.
Hi there! Love your kitchen hardware. Could you tell me the length of your pulls on each cabinet? And the height of your upper cabinets (looks like 42″ high) also, what was your rational on using knobs on certain cabinets and pulls on others? It appears on the lowers where you had a drawer and door combo you used a Knob on the door and pulls on the drawers. Thx!
Thank you. Comments are moderated. Your comment will appear shortly.
Hello! I love your kitchen so much that through my quest for designing a new kitchen, I find myself keep coming back to yours. I was originally thinking of using Railings (F&B) on the bottom cabinets, with the LD hardware, and white upper cabinets…but I feel like I will want a softer look and the Pigeon looks gorgeous. We have dark wood/walnut tractor stools from OM! 🙂
I am curious, however. It is so hard to decide on the Cedar & Moss pendant lengths and widths. Can you share what you went with? And…are you happy with that choice? (They have too many options!) Thank you so much.
Hi. Could you please tell me if the hardware tarnishes and do you maintain them? They are solid brass. Thanks.
Hi. I haven’t done anything to maintain them and they have not tarnished.

Hi,
We are looking to remodel our old kitchen and your kitchen is my inspiration. I wondered if you could share the dimensions for your kitchen?
Thank-you!!!!
Hi there!! That cabinet color is just amazing!! I looked on the semihandmade site and I just can’t seem to nail down which color is yours. Would you be able to point me in the right direction? (We’re thinking it’d be a great color for our guest bath!)
Thank you!
