    I love the kitchen. It is airy, cozy and conducive to conversation. I feel like sitting on a stool at the island, with a nice cup of coffee, chatting to Karen while Michael cooks.😊

    First...amazing, the waterfall island and continuing that detail on the counter by the backdoor is a YES!
    Second, the juxtaposition of just having a mirror in the kitchen is epic... and the color of the mirror ...BRILLIANT! Contrast is king!
    Third, the warmth of the pottery and the green plant makes the kitchen so inviting. Sometimes all white can feel sterile....this does not!
    Last, consider purchasing barstools that have a back. They are much more more comfortable than backless stools AND it will make the island a more comfortable space to lounge in for you when your are editing or chatting with “The Chef”😂😂😂😂😂.
    Looking forward to seeing the rest of your home.

    Dream kitchen!👌Perfect size and looking so fresh! A tip from me, when getting bar stoles is, get stoles with a support for yr back! (There are smashing looking ones with quite a low support, but still a support) Now, how cool these without even may look, you will end up being tired in yr backs while sitting there, and you are probably gonna spend a LOT of time there, because when having that barisland, people tend to want to spend most of their time there when in the kitchen, it's a social masterpiece!!👌💕

    Stunning and sophisticated, yet inviting! The mirror adds art and contrast. I did a kitchen renovation a few years ago and let people rush me or feel like I was being too picky, and I’ve wished I’d stuck to my guns. Now I’m renovating another kitchen and NOT settling or letting people rush me or derail my vision this time! We did the blue tape on the floor too and I will say 3 dimensional is much bigger once it’s built. Lovely as well as functional. Just a fabulous renovation, Karen and Michael!😃❤️

  • @iamllux

    So beautiful! In seeking bar stools, make sure you love to sit in them. I bought barstools that were very industrial looking and loved them, but I hate sitting on them, to the point that I'm considering changing the seats and covering them in a natural canvas. Comfort is essential.

      Hey Karen! You and Cheff Michael outdid yourselves. I LOVE IT! What I love the most is I see no plastic! ( don't know what the cupboards are made of but) with the stone, wood, glass, ceramic and metal, you are keeping it real! It gives off that circa early 1900's vibe that takes me back to my grandmothers kitchen.
      You might want to look at some black wrought iron stools or a candelabra or something like that to complete the look.
      Whatever you do I know it will be great!

It is true that in some instances large scale pieces can actually make a room feel and live larger. Now you have so much counter space and storage. Glad the counter stools went back. Agree that gold color was not working. I think they would look fantastic in a black or navy kitchen.
