I tried to make the new kitchen work in the original space. Before pictures and post here. Then I expanded into the next room. It was okay, but there were many inklings things were not right. I was weary and ready to 'settle' for a kitchen across the entire back of the house, but the bid was way over budget. I tried relocating the kitchen into the space on the left side of the hall. It worked perfectly and saved a little on the budget without 'settling'. Ha, ha! At least at first. Here is the result. I apologize for the picture quality. The images will be replaced when better ones are available. A photographer I am not! The Old Kitchen Bakery will be posted separately soon.

Your kitchen is one of my favorites. I love seeing pics of it. The tin punch panels look great! The last time I saw pics of your kitchen on gw, the panels hadn't been done yet. Love the soapstone(of course,) the rich wood tone, and the sliding doors on your dish hutch. Thanks for sharing.
Yay...Pics of the kitchen all in one place! BEAUTIFUL.
I remember you trying to fit it in the kitchen, but did the Kitchenet end up in the bakery?
It is all so beautiful!
An awful lot of work went into this project.
Awesome. I like most kitchen designs. But I think that You have to change the kitchen counter marbles due to some creepy cracks over there.
LSM, It is the little things that take the longest to find just the right thing to use. The punched tin is one of my favorites, too. Thanks for visiting.
Rhome, It takes a long time to be 'done' with the kitchen, right? We are both making progress. Someday soon, I hope . . .
Rita, You are sweet, thanks.
KC, Thanks, I am glad you like it. I am not sure if you are serious or joking about the counters. The movement in the soapstone is what drew me to that particular variety of stone. I have Imperial Danby marble in the bakery.
Cotehele, I just gave you a stylish blogger award. Pop on over to claim it.
Oh my, how nice of you! Thanks so much! I love your blog, so it means a lot.
I could get lost in your blog!!!!!
Wow what a space, how nice and looks so functional now. Very jealous! We have re-modeled our kitchen twice now and still just not right. Hubby says it will be awhile before I can do again, I need to make up my mind is the problem.
Very nice job you guys have done.
Looking at the old kitchen, it makes me feel a little sentimental, but I love how it looks now. It's really beautiful.
ahhhhh!
Alisa, The old kitchen was a workhorse for decades before we moved in 29 years ago. The sentimental piece from the kitchen is now in the bakery. It's is my husband's grandmother's Napanee Kitchenet (similar to a Hoosier cabinet). It brings back so many wonderful memories being in her WV kitchen. I am glad you like the new kitchen.
Devadeva-ha, thanks! I sent you an e-mail.
Beautiful designs of kitchen sets. Really, these are nice and spacious, which can accommodate many things within them. The designs are traditional yet unique. Thanks for sharing this post.
