One of the most common questions our customers ask is “What does your kitchen look like?” Many kitchen designers have simpler kitchens than the ones we design for our customers. I thought I would reveal my own kitchen to our blog readers and podcast listeners and discuss with my wife Julie, the kitchen design choices we made over ten years ago when we remodeled our kitchen.
The link below is to a video done by Jack Gardner, owner of Third Generation Contracting. Jack did most of the construction on our kitchen renovation. Paul did do some of the easier parts including the rough plumbing and electric. He also did all the tilework on the job and built the radiator cover.
Finished photos of the completed project are below.
Listen to the podcast with Paul and Julie to understand the kitchen design choices that went into our kitchen. The podcast link is below the photos.
Surprisingly there were more kitchen design decisions than most people would expect.
There are also some funny stories that explain our kitchen design process and, I guess, our marriage.

Below are the material selections that we made in the kitchen.
Kitchen design choices are more important than materials. In this kitchen all the materials we selected were very durable but none were overly expensive.
Bishop Danbury Light Maple Cabinets
Level 7 Granite Countertops (Quartz countertops were not very attractive when this kitchen was done. Today they have much more realistic and natural looking finishes)
Simple Frigidaire appliance package.
Porcelain Floor tyle that loos like distressed real wood. This was newly available when this kitchen was done.
Glass subway tiles on the backsplash.
Top Knobs handles.
