Kitchen renovation of 2020

2/3/2020

Not a year after renovating our kitchen in the suburbs of Allen, Texas, we found a new house on an acre out in the country (and closer to the husband's work). The house has great bones, but the kitchen was pretty dated. Check it out:

It had the two-level island that so many kitchens came with in the 90's-00's. ​I sent the below picture to the contractors that did our bathroom renovation at the Allen house, Priess Remodeling, to show them what I wanted to do. They said that it'd be no problem!

We made the following renovations:
  • Swapped out the cabinet hardware with the same hardware we used in our last kitchen renovation: Restoration Hardware's Duluth collection in aged brass. 
  • Removed 3 small pendants, filled the ceiling holes and hung a large Pottery Barn Clarissa chandelier over the island, the rectangle Clarissa chandelier over the kitchenette area.
  • We painted the following:
    • The cabinets in Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace OC-65
    • The walls in Benjamin Moore White Dove OC-17
    • The kitchen island in Sherwin Williams Honorable Blue SW-6188 
  • Replaced the countertops with a Calcatta Lucia Quartz (the large island took two slabs).
  • Cut down the island pony wall, added extra storage cabinetry, added two new outlets, and laid the new countertops across the top making one huge island.
  • New backsplash--a classic white subway tile
  • New induction cooktop- the Samsung 30 in. Built-in 5-Element INDUCTION Cooktop | Model #: NZ30K7880US
  • Replaced the faucet with a champagne gold touch-activated Delta Trinsic Faucet with voice activated Alexa and Google Assistant. 
  • Replaced the dated sink with a larger single sink: the Alfi brand 30" undermount Fireclay Kitchen Sink.
    • ​Added a Delta Soap/Lotion Dispenser in Champagne Bronze
    • A matching in-counter garbage disposal button
    • And matching in-sink disposal flange stopper
