More of the new maple cabinets and appliances. Note the arch shape in the pass-through. The tile backsplash is the only thing not yet complete.
Around the corner from the shot above. Note the undermount sink, goose-neck faucet, and appliance garage.
And here is the new island. The low area is for bread-making, since there is no longer a table (which is the proper height for dough-kneading). We used the same cabinet style as the main kitchen, but in a finish called "oyster" for contrast.
This wine rack is under the cherry wood bar counter. The bar extends far enough so that knees will not knock into the bottles. We had enough space for some small shelves on either side, too.
Small desk area where old pantry used to be. There will be book shelves installed here, for cookbooks.
A nice shot of the new porcelain tile floor.
Close up of the stained glass insert that Gloria's brother Dominick made. He was the talent responsible for the entire kitchen construction.
The far corner of the kitchen , showing a small table perfect for Gloria and a friend to play cards or Scrabble.

Wow! what a transformation! i am very impressed. Love the multi-level island. How smart to add an appropriate level for bread-making. That was also a great idea to make the island cabinets a different color than the others, so it's not too matchy matchy. Much more visually dynamic this way.
