Soooooooooo, to start this off.....

Here is a simple kitchen remodel of a small cabin using tumbled rosa travertine for the backsplash, with ceramic 3-D pinecone insets. You can see more on the thread:

As soon as I finish grouting and putting my baseboards up, I'll post my "before and after" pics of my kitchen!!!

Cool thread!

[Mike2]

Yeah, cool idear.

You know Marge, it's just a matter of time before some bowdark skull comes along and breaks the rules...

...so lets get that over with rat now . Here's a picher of our kitchen During a remodel. Nice deep sink, 3 burner Colman range onna washing machine, refreshment bar, dryer countertop...sweet eh?

Granite tile, tumbled travertine backsplash with matching granite insets. Carried the travertine onto island base and granite onto the rolling cart. Also, with some offline help here, we made matching travertine outlet covers for the backsplash. Way cool looking! And yes, the After pics look odd 'cuz we moved the fridge and side cabs to make one long counter. No thread on this one.

Here's the stone outlet cover.

mmmm, lovely aint it? yes indeed. the whole house was naaaaaasty like this. this was a fixer my girlfriend and i fixed and sold about 8 months ago. it's a cinderblock house (look close by the window in the BEFORE pic) with a crawl space and major rot...you'll see in the bathroom pics to come.

we gutted the kitchen, added ply and hardibacker to the floor, and she tiled the floor and did an awesome job. i hung the cabinets (first time) and the granite and backsplash were hired out.

looks nice. the only thing in that one kitchen that didn't look good was the black sink it really stands out 'cause the kitchen is lighter.anyways,good tile work

Hi neill,
I reduced the size of the last two photos you had. When they are that large, they force the forum software to increase the page margins and pushes all sorts of stuff off the screen. Very hard to scroll around to read posts or navigate.

The first two photos you had are no problem at all.

[motlot77]

eww, sorry 'bout that. they're supposed to be 600x400 right? i thought that's what i had but i guess not.

Marge - I just love that back lighting in the kitchen. What did you use for that?

Great photos. Great thread.

Heres my kitchen before reno's in August 06


Heres after: Replaced floor, all cabinets, knocked down wall and replaced it with archway, still have to complete backsplash and trim

[motlot77]

alberta lexus,

are those bamboo cabinets? i really like your design.

[ALBERTA_LEXUS]

They are from Ikea. I think they are called Arlig in beech veneer. Turned out pretty good even though I still have some work to do. Thanks.

My kitchen remodel (more like destruction) took a small kitchen and sunroom and turned it into one large kitchen.




It was a long journey but worth it in the end. The countertops are Cambria quartz slabs, the backsplash is tumbled travertine from Floor & Decor and the floor is DalTile Pietre Vecchie. You can see all the pictures at
