Here is the before pic. River rock and logs and square granite tiles. and after! Much bigger, slab is black absolute honed granite. Added a beverage fridge at one end. The new bar stools!
My husband and I did all the trim work.
I painted it "oatmeal" by Ralph Lauren in a satin finish and then glazed it.
It suits our house much better than the river rock.
Oh my...absolutely lovely! I really like how you transformed the stools. What a great idea! Wonderful inspiration. Blessings, Marie http://emmacallsmemama.com
Hey Melaine, loving it! Since I have seen your kitchen first hand, I can tell the difference. Great choice on the bar chairs, those are great. Hey would you email me what you use for the glaze on the furniture and cabinets? I am needed to paint my master bath cabinets when we do this redo this Summer and think I need a glaze on them after that too. Thanks, looking good! Linda Q
Melanie...it looks wonderful! I love the oatmeal paint and glaze and the stools work perfectly. You guys did a great job and what a fun and upbeat update to your already gorgeous kitchen. And you gotta love the extra counter space for all that cooking! : )
WOW! It looks great!! Spacious and chic! The new bar stool look just perfect with the island. Well done! Ah! The cabinets are just goregous, you guys done a excellent job!
Absolutely lovely! I would love to hear more about the "glazing" - that is just the look I want to give something - could you tell us/me more please! Thank you! Simone :)
Melaine...I love it, I have been waiting for this post, I couldn't imagine what you were going to do, since I thought the before pictures were gorgeous!!! You and your hubby are so talented!!
Melaine, it's fantastic! It's beautiful and very well done, but not over done. I love the beverage fridge too. I really need on of those, as water bottles, juice, soda, and beer seem to overtake my fridge. It's wonderful! The new stools look great, too! *Tricia

Glazing & honed...I love any technique that removes the "shiny new". Rich & rewarding. Thank you for sharing.

I dig it! I love the paint color and I love that it's called "Oatmeal". Am I the only one out there that bases final paint decisions on the name? :)
I would be stoked to just to have granite, but I agree the black is cuter in your kitchen. Thanks for the inspiration :-)
The dark color of the countertop totally grounded the kitchen! It looks fantastic. Sue
