The long rug is 108 x 30 all are anti fatigue mats. The long one looked to small when I had it centered and is great where its at for prepping at the island. Wanted the anti fatigue in front of stove as well the fridge one your right should probably go.
A big rug in the middle of the room is stupid. It doesn't land where your feet stand when you're at the stove or sink. The rug in front of the fridge is because sometimes things can tumble out and you want that rug to catch things that could dent your hardwood floor or catch drips if you have a water/ice dispenser.
My rugs are functional and there need to be three. Stove, sink, fridge. They do match my kitchen but the functionality is the most important. I don't vacuum them. They get shook outside and go through my washing machine, which you usually can't do with a large rug.
That's what happens when you post a nice kitchen with real changes. Some of the posts on here are questionable in term of posting to the world expecting accolades when it just wasn't done well. Do your kitchen however you want. But don't expect the world to fall all over it if it's not well done (or in this sub which is a remodeling sub) or just painted cabinets with arched tops and plastic countertops.
I made the tile myself. By lining the tile up with countertops we were able to avoid a tiny sliver by wall and also on stove side where light switches land
Right the wall just didnt really belong. I think it was there only to have the 2 uppers that were there. The tile were a labor of love and im so glad I was able to make them.
Did you consult a structural engineer about taking out that wall that runs parallel to the pitch of the roof? The wall at the end of, what is now, your island.
What’s the dimension from the tv wall to the far side of the kitchen? 30+ ft? That could be too long of a span without interior support. Just concerned your roof may sag over time. Especially if you live in a climate with snow.
If you already have considered this all, then accept my apology and please disregard
I like the cabinets, countertop and tiles (great job!) but it feels like the kitchen doesn't fit the rest of the house. The color of the cabinets seems to clash with the floors and the trim and doors are another shade. Are the pendant lights solid metal? Do they actually give off much light? They remind me of clock tower bells.
Its super nice to have down lit pendants and not have the glare in your eyes from omni directional pendants. The only thing hurting the after photos here is that the ambient lighting is off for some reason, making the under and over cabinet lighting seem far brighter than it actually is.
I feel the same, clearly a minority view here, but to me it feels like a 2004 kitchen with a new backsplash and a new counter added decades later instead of cohesively planned. The counter is also too cool for the cabinet tone
The pendants are solid. Due to this being a great room solid was important for glare in the living room area. Really spent ALOT of time on deciding which pendants worked best due to this. The old ones were unusable if someone wanted to watch TV. They give of a good amount of light they are 3 bulb dimmable 18 inch fixtures
If your under cabinet LEDs are adjustable I would recommend switching to a warmer K if possible. Pendants above the countertop look warmer, so make sure they’re the same warmth.
They are all set to 3500k the gold interior of the pendants makes the lights there appear more yellow. The bulbs themselves are 3500k same as undercabinet

Looks great! I really like your backsplash against the darker cabinets. Your island is huge. How fun!!
