Final Kitchen photos

Here's the final photos of the kitchen; photo credit to Alison McCully at Kitchen Masters for the photos and for the design effort. I had a functional kitchen back by 12/12, two days earlier than they'd committed. The project took under 6 weeks.

Northwest, wall with main sink and dishwasher. Island in foreground.
Cabinet below island has roll-out shelves and
faces the cooking area.

West wall, pantry door is bright orange

East wall, stove and microwave and corner sink below glass cabinet.
The second sink has made the kitchen much more functional.

East wall; dishwasher at right. Front of sink has
tip out drawer for dish towel storage.

West wall again; beverage faucet, soap dispenser, and faucet
are from Delta Faucet , reused from before the remodel. I'll swap
for oil-rubbed bronze faucets to match the other ones
eventually. The coffee mug shelf is above the sink. The Blanco sink
could fit a small dog, or a large turkey.

South facing view to the hallway entrance;
previously that was the only way into the kitchen.
My hall is green and picking an orange that
didn't clash was a challenge

South view to corner sink from alongside the island.
The floor is spalted maple.

Closer view of corner sink - a
Blanco Silgranit in Antracite with oil rubbed bronze
finished faucet and spray by Delta Faucet.  We put a
garbage disposal in this sink too.

Kitchen Walls

Choosing the final colors the kitchen would wear was pretty tough. I decided to go with warm tones:

Colors:
Chivalry Copper

Accent color:

Glass subway tiles in brown blend by MS International for the backsplash:
