We commend Greg and Ashley Brown of 7th House on the Left blog — their gut renovation of their Hanover, Virginia kitchen was a huge undertaking. And the results are amazing…
We really like the modern meets industrial look of the Industrial Pendant in Glass. It’s so simple and sleek and the darker hardware really helps it stand out against the white subway tile and cabinetry in our renovated kitchen. We love how it makes a statement without taking up too much visual space.
The Rustic Counter Stools are the perfect touch of warmth the kitchen needed. The dark metal legs tie in with the oil rubbed bronze hardware throughout the kitchen and helps make the whole look come together. We love the clean simple lines paired with the wood tones — a great example of “Modern Rustic”.
Not only is the transformation inspiring — Greg and Ashley blogged the entire process — from choosing counter stools to hanging artwork on tile — they cover it ALL. Find all their resources, advice, budget (and missteps!) of their kitchen overhaul in their post, Everything You Might Want to Know.

The Idea of swapping the light floors and dark cabinets and putting in hardwood floors and light cabinets and walls makes the room look bigger and compliments the room so much more and hardwood is the way so many people want to go these days. great job. oh and the subway tile on the walls perfect. MUCH LOVE!!

Looks like a kitchen in a sanitarium
Like the cabinets & sink…..but stainless steel (hard to take care of) and mono-tones are out.

Thanks so much, everyone! To answer your questions… The entire kitchen renovation totaled to approximately $28-$30k – lower than the average kitchen gut-job renovation in our area. This price includes everything from outlet covers and flooring to appliances and cabinets. The cabinets themselves (including installation) took up around $17,000 of that final number, the countertops came in at $3,985, and all of the tile (including labor) came in at $1,000 even. As for the prices of the other details in the kitchen, you can get an idea of the pricing from the links we included in this post: http://7thhouseontheleft.com/2013/02/kitchen-2/
Hope that helps!

Love it. We are doing something similar with my kitchen. It will look great with my collection of Fiesta dinnerware!

I love the crisp, clean look of your remodeled kitchen! I did a gut reno on my really small NYC studio apartment kitchen and so I know how involved the process is. Although my choice was a warm wood tone (like your breakfast bar stool), I am rapidly becoming a fan of the light, bright, white kitchen cabinetry. I blame it on Pinterest and so many well done renovations like yours! I’m a design fan and I’ll be checking out your blog.

This is amazing! I have dreamed about white tile with black grout for so long now. I have been trying to convince my husband how nice it looks. This is the perfect way to convince my husband that I wasn’t crazy
It is so vintage looking, yet clean and modern at the same time. Great job – it looks amazing!

It’s just not my taste at all. You did an amazing job, it just wouldn’t be for me.

Did you use pre-fabricated cabinets to build the shelf/bar area? Would you be willing to share the dimensions and source? Such a fantastic idea!

It looks good. But you can do a lot if you have a big budget.
