Jen, Wow! What a transformation. Your cabinets are just gorgeous! I love love the backsplash. You must be so pleased. Now tell me about the jars above your refrigerator? Enjoy :)

 o RE: Cherry Cabinets and Uba Tuba NY kitchen

It's hard to believe the two are the same room. The remodeled kitchen is gorgeous (can't say as much for the old one!!). I love the cabinets facing the dining area.

 o RE: Cherry Cabinets and Uba Tuba NY kitchen

Beautiful job. Love your colors and cabinets.

 o RE: Cherry Cabinets and Uba Tuba NY kitchen

Probably one of the most dramatic transformations I've seen. Absolutely beautiful!

So funny that you noticed that detail...When we received our fridge there was a gap between the top of it and the cabinets. The contractor suggested this pigeonhold cabinet. I know most people put wine in the holes but we keep our wine in a separate wine fridge so I had to get creative. These canisters are from Crate & Barrel and they hold dry goods (brown rice, pasta, breadcrumbs...) and with the see through top it has added an interesting design element. Plus it gave me back counter space.

What a lucky "accident" - it really is a design element! Great solution...now I wish I had a gap...lol!!!!

 o RE: Cherry Cabinets and Uba Tuba NY kitchen

This is really beautiful! Just a super job of selecting everything. You must be so thrilled to be done and to have such a beautiful result. Congratulations!

 o RE: Cherry Cabinets and Uba Tuba NY kitchen

I've had regrets about getting a stand alone stove. I couldn't figure out how to do the backsplash. I LOVE the trim that goes across the top of yours! Great solution, hope you never come to my house and see that I copied it straight across.

 o RE: Cherry Cabinets and Uba Tuba NY kitchen

Copy ahead! Nothing would make us happier.

If you are in NYC and want some thoughts about contractors we were very happy with ours - Knockout Renovations.


 o RE: Cherry Cabinets and Uba Tuba NY kitchen

The kitchen is STUNNING. I am in love with the backsplash as well...and I'm in Queens, so I will take your recommendation and call Knockout Renovations...did they do everything from top to bottom??? Did you do anything else besides the kitchen??

Congratulations!

I meant to add in that we also used magnetic paint on one of the walls (and then put on the color) and we love this unique feature. I didn't realize how annoying it would be to not have a magnetic fridge.

 o RE: Cherry Cabinets and Uba Tuba NY kitchen

JensK, love the look of a city windowless compact kitchen. What a great transformation from the old (just love that one ceiling light before!!).

Which specific magnetic paint did you use and have you found that it works well? I'm thinking about a wall in dh's office.
