Bayberry Kitchen Remodel Reveal
This Post May Contain Affiliate Links. Please Read Our Disclosure PolicyHello, friends! The day is finally here. It’s been almost 6 months since the start of my kitchen remodel, and it’s time for the reveal! I hope you’re as excited as I am!
Now, before we get into it, I need to tell you a few things.
First off, in this post, I’m going to focus on the kitchen. My entryway and powder room were also included in the remodel, but I’ll share those in a future post.
Secondly, the dining room still needs some love. (This room was also altered as part of the kitchen remodel.) I plan to get a new dining room table, chairs, and buffet and also style it. My budget needs time to recover, however, so I will work on the dining room piecemeal as time goes on.
Finally, this is real life. Styling is not 100% complete and things aren’ t exactly the way I’d like them. However, I think the space is beautiful in its current state, and it’s time to share it as is.
If you’re new to IBC and wondering what the kitchen looked like before, check out this post here. I will include a few before and after shots at the end of this post.
Also, I am going to create a short video tour of the space. The video is not included in this post but will be coming soon. (I’m working on a Fall Kitchen Tour with my Seasons of Home Blogger friends next week. I will likely include it there.)
All sources will be linked at the end of this post.

Now with those items out of the way, let me show you around with a slew of images. Then we’ll chat.
I’m in LOVE. It was a long process, but I couldn’t be more pleased with the transformation.
First, let’s talk cabinets. I opted for custom cabinetry. The doors are inset shaker fronts with a little detail to make them a bit more interesting. The doors and drawers are soft close. I adore this feature.
The cabinets in the kitchen are painted Sherwin-Williams Egret White SW 7570 (Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel – Satin). The cabinets in the pantry are Sherwin-Williams Sage SW 2860 (Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel – Satin).
The cabinet knobs and cabinet pulls are from Rejuvenation. The refrigerator pulls and dishwasher pulls are from Emtek.
There are some fun cabinetry details. Let me show you!
One is this set of doors to the left of the refrigerator. The doors not only open but slide into the cabinet. There is a light built into the shelf that automatically comes on when the doors open. This is where my microwave lives.
There’s also a bifold door to the right of the sink. I haven’t decided what treasures to store in there. Currently, it’s home to my paper towels, some dishes, and my toaster.
With walnut stained interiors, the cabinets were designed to look beautiful whether the doors are open or closed.
Just below that cabinet is my trash bin which is on a sliding door.
As you might have noticed, I also opted for a panel front refrigerator and dishwasher. My kitchen isn’t huge, so I didn’t want to break up the cabinetry with appliances. (Read more about the appliances I selected here.)
I chose to have glass front doors in two places. There’s a lower cabinet in the dining room and an upper cabinet on the opposite side of the fridge. I love the tile detail behind this upper cabinet that extends down to the countertops. This tile matches what’s on the opposite side of the room.
The countertops are gorgeous. I went with HanStone Quartz. This particular color is Montauk. (More information on my countertops can be found here.)
Because my kitchen is fairly narrow, a big island wasn’t feasible. Instead, I installed a work table. This pieces was custom built for the kitchen.
Small but mighty, this has already been a handy piece in my kitchen. I did want to note that this piece will change slightly. The top is currently a finished piece of poplar. However, I wanted a walnut butcher block top to make it a bit more functional. The tops will be swapped out soon.
I chose a farmhouse/apron style sink, and I’m in love with it. This particular sink is from Bocchi. The durability of the fireclay is perfect for me. (You can read more about it here.) For my faucet, I selected this unlacquered bridge faucet from Rohl. It might be one of the nicest things I’ve ever owned. I gave it a little polish for the photos, but I plan to let the brass age into a beautiful patina.
The window above the sink was enlarged to allow for more light to enter the kitchen. Previously, there was only a single window; now there are two!
Above the windows, there are two brass picture lights. I wanted something different from the standard pendant light. There is an identical picture light above the pantry sink.
The workhorse in my kitchen is the Wolf range. This thing is a beast. I’ve done a lot of baking over the past couple of weeks, and it’s been a joy to use this appliance. It’s dual fuel. – The range is gas and the oven is electric. To me, it’s the best of both worlds! Above the range, I have a range hood from Zephyr. I never thought I would get excited about a range hood, but it works beautifully.
In case you missed it, between the sink and the range is the dishwasher.
On the wall behind all of that goodness is floor-to-ceiling subway tile. This was a feature I knew that I wanted in my kitchen, and I’m so pleased with how it turned out. (Additional details on the tile and grout can be found here.)
Before the remodel, the long wall had two doors. (Well, it was one door and one panel that looked like a door but didn’t open.) To make room for the range, the doorway was bricked up and a new Dutch door* went in its place. I’ve long been a fan of Dutch doors, especially when they’re in the kitchen. The dutch door hardware is from Emtek.
And if all of that wasn’t enough, I added a butler’s pantry to my kitchen. This area had been a full bathroom. I decided to remove the full bath and replace it with this butler’s pantry and a small powder room.
I’m so glad I did because this is such a fun space. It might be one of my favorite details of the remodel.
As you can see, it’s mostly used for storage, but it has fun and stylish features as well.
One feature is a built-in coffee maker which freshly grinds beans to make coffee, cappuccinos, lattes, etc.
The cabinet makers even built this adorable shelf so I have a space to be my own barista!
There’s even a sink in this space. This is the round undermount sink from Bocchi along with a matching unlacquered brass faucet from Rohl.
Open shelves provide lots of space to store kitchen goodies and collections. There’s likewise this fabulous drawer for storing cutting boards and baking trays. Love this!
Right now I’m testing out this gallery wall of vintage metal trays. I’ve been collecting them for a few years and thought they’d make a fun art installation.
The walls in the kitchen, pantry, and dining room are painted Sherwin-Williams Snowbound SW 7004 (Emerald Interior – Satin). The trim is Sherwin-Williams Extra White SW 7006 (ProClassic Semi-Gloss) right out of the can.
You’ll notice that the floors in the kitchen are new. As part of this remodel, I chose to have new hardwood floors installed in the kitchen, entryway, pantry, and powder room. They were integrated into the existing hardwood floors in the dining room and living space. Now the first floor is entirely hardwood. They turned out beautifully. The floors are red oak with Bona Dark Walnut stain.
I did want to point out several changes made to the dining room too. The most significant change was the addition of these three windows. This had been a solid wall.
The windows flood the room and the kitchen with light. The sun rises on this side of the house, so the mornings are especially magical.
I also installed this fabulous chandelier. It’s the Radcliffe 30″ round chandelier from Rejuvenation. It brings in a modern element to the space. I’ve had my eye on it for a while now. I was thrilled to be able to use it in this room.
The French doors are also new. While the size of the doors is the same, the window panes are much larger which allows in even more light.
I now have Phantom Screens on both of these doors and the dutch door. I will be doing a post on them, but they are virtually invisible. They are hands down the best screen doors if you want a seamless look and an unobstructed view.
Finally, let’s look at a couple before and after pictures so you can see where we started.

And there you have it, my friends, Bayberry Kitchen is complete … mostly. Ha!
Before I go I need to give a shoutout to my fabulous designer Katy Popple. (You can read about why I decided to work with a designer here.) The overall design ended up being this beautifully collaborative effort. Katy provided amazing guidance, assistance, and a voice of reason throughout the entire process. I’m so thankful for her great eye and enormous skill set. Thank you, Katy!! If any of you are in Pittsburgh and need a designer, check out her website here. She comes highly recommended.
Avanti Construction was my contractor. I highly recommend them as well if you are in the Pittsburgh area. I will definitely be using them again.
I’m not sharing a full breakdown of the budget for this entire project (or sharing the budget at all.) However. I did want to mention that roughly 93% of the budget came out of my pocket. As a blogger, I have an excellent relationship with many fine brands and several brands offered me products to include in my space. I wasn’t paid to use their products. I chose the brands myself and was honored to include their products.
I’m certain I will do lots of follow-up posts because there is a lot more I want to share about the space and the process. Stay tuned for those. Also, if you have questions, please leave them in the comments below, and I’ll do my best to answer them there or create a follow-up post with more details.
Finally, thanks to all of you for joining me on this fun (perhaps once-in-a-lifetime) journey. It was a joy to take you along on the adventure. As I said, there will be several follow-up posts and, of course, a look into my new powder room and updated entryway will be coming soon!
Until then, I hope you enjoy seeing my remodeled space and creating your own happy place!

I just happened to stumble upon your blog (Pinterest rabbit hole…) and my jaw dropped. Your kitchen is STUNNING. So stunning that I had to leave a comment, not just lurk. Wow. Well done!
Tracy, Thank you for taking the time to comment! I’m so glad you found me. I appreciate your kind remarks! 🙂

Gorgeous. I’m just a teensy bit jealous. 🙂 I love how you married form and function.
Thank you so much, Kris!
xo Michael
Wow! I love everything about this!
Thank you so much, Lisa!!! <3 I really appreciate it!

Exquisite! I was born and raised on the North Shore of Boston, and this is a kitchen I would want in my house for sure. The products you chose are stunning. Quaint, cozy, and the cabinets and Butler’s Pantry are devine! When I left Boston to move to Arizona, I was living in a house that was built in 1793 by a sea captian, Moses Endicott. I always dreamed of redesigning the home, but I didn’t own it. This is the kitchen I would have put in, and the entire wall of windows overlooked the river. You never know, someday, I may be able to own that dream home and bring it back to the past and into the future. I truly enjoy watching your adventures. Congratulations, Michael!
What a beautiful story, Denice! Your home sounded beautiful! 1793!? I would LOVE that!! Thank you for sharing and for your wonderful compliments. It means so much!
xo Michael
What a beautiful job you did of remodeling this kitchen! I especially am taken with the walnut cabinet interiors, your sink, range and range hood choices, cabinetry mixtures and shadings, and the Dutch door. Love the color palette and glad to see your cat made it into the shots. Such savvy choices that come together superbly! 💕
Thank you so much, Lisa! Those are some of my favorite details too!
xo Michael
Wow!!! Looks absolutely amazing. I love how you stayed true to your house’s character and your own style. I can see how you would want to take a break from wallet breaking projects for a while because it even LOOKS expensive (always nice!!).
Thank you for noticing that! It was so important that the kitchen felt like it belonged here. I think it does!
xo Michael
Absolutely stunning! I love it all and now want a dutch door :).
Haha. Thank you! And yes – love a dutch door!
xo Michael
It’s all so fabulous Michael!! Congratulations, I know you’ll enjoy it 💛
Thank you, Lisa!! And yes – I already am! <3
xo Michael
What a truly gorgeous and inviting kitchen! Love the colors, the natural light, and all of the beautiful details. It was such a huge and long project, but well worth the wait, I would imagine! Congrats on creating a beautiful, comfortable and happy space that you (and your family and friends!) will love and cherish for many years to come. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely kitchen with all of your readers!
You are so kind, Dawn! Thank you for the beautiful compliments!
xo Michael
What a fabulous kitchen. This would be my dream to have a beautiful kitchen like this. The butler pantry is wonderful and that built in coffee maker is an added bonus.
Thank you so much!! Hope you’re doing well!

Absolutely perfection. I just returned from 2 weeks in Italy to face over 350 e-mails! Unreal! When I quickly scrolled down yours was one of the first I opened. Some of the things I love are first of all the use of a different piece of furniture for your island. Also, I love the glass doors on the cabinetry that display some lovely items. I will take more time in the days ahead to really enjoy this post. We are downsizing in the next year, and I was thinking of a way to keep some memorable pieces from my grandmother, Mom and Mother-in-law. The pieces vary from silver cream & sugar, silver water pitcher, etc. We also want to display some of our wedding china in the cabinet. I want to also have some glass shelves and light the interior of the cabinet. Your kitchen design is the ultimate in how to incorporate everything we foodies/home bodies need in a compact space. I hope our townhouse kitchen turns out half as well as this.
Lyn, thank you so much for this thoughtful comment! I wish you the best of luck in your new townhouse. It sounds like it will be gorgeous!
xo Michael
Your kitchen remodel is just stunning! I did have one little question though. How did you hang that picture on your tile back splash? I have the same tile for my kitchen backsplash and wanted to hang a picture too, but was concerned about it coming loose and then damaging our countertop.Did you use command strips or ?? Thanks!!!!
I used a small command hook. But that ended up falling down. Thankfully the glass didn’t break. So now I used a hook at the top and a large command strip at the bottom. It seems very secure. I honestly don’t trust the command strips with important things. They always seem to fall at some point. I’m thinking the combo of the two should work really well. The picture is pretty light.
The metal trays are also hung with command strips, but I’m not concerned if they fall.

What a lovely space you & your team have created!Loved seeing the completed kitchen. Also loved how detailed the photos were. They really allowed us to get a feel for the space. Still, can’t wait for the video though.
Can’t imagine a nicer, brighter, happier space, to create & entertain.
Enjoy, Michael & all the best!
Thank you so much, Effie! I really wanted to share a video with this, but just ran out of time and wanted to get the post live. Stay tuned for the video. If all works out I’ll have that up this coming week!
xo Michael
Michael! Love! Love! Love! 💚💚💚 I am green with envy! What a spectacular kitchen & butler pantry! So much thought & care put into every detail of this beautiful space – you must walk into the kitchen just to soak it in…I’m sure you’ve done the happy dance a few times! Congratulations!
Yes! A new happy dance everyday! 🙂 Thank you!!
xo Michael
Each picture you shared was absolutely beautiful. You have such vision and talent. I love the white in the kitchen, but that sage in the butler’s pantry is to die for. Your home is outstanding.
Yes – that sage is soooooo special. Thank you so much, Pamela!
xo Michael
I LOVE it!!! Everything you picked is perfect. I’m sure you’ll love doing holiday baking in your new kitchen. Can’t wait to see what new recipes come! XO
I can’t tell you how excited I am for holiday baking. I’m usually not a fan of snow, but I’m kind of excited for a snow day where I’m stuck inside! Ha.
xo Michael
OMG! What a fabulous kitchen! My dream kitchen, but I didn’t realize it until I saw it! Absolutely divine. Even the pretty kitty goes well with your kitchen. What you have done to the house and lot has been interesting for me to follow and I have to say, you have succeeded in a wonderful transformation throughout. Inside and out. Enjoy and love this post and the light fixtures in your kitchen space, and the oven/stove…my favorites! Love your blog and following you, although I don’t comment often, I am always inspired in some way by your posts! Love your recipes too!
Karen, thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it along with all of your kind words. Thank you! Thank you!!
xo Michael
Michael, you have created a stunningly beautiful, timeless kitchen that will serve you well for many, many years to come. Most importantly, you honored the classic style of your home while improving its functionality with the addition of the butler’s pantry. Your attention to detail is flawless. From the walnut interiors of the cabinets to the tile wall behind the glass doors every detail is a treat for the eyes! Congratulations on a job well done and thank you for taking us along on the ride.
Thank you so much for noting all of these details and touches. Thank you! Thank you!!
xo Michael
Michael it is truly breathtaking. I do have a question for you did you make a pop-up shelf for your stand mixer that is the one thing that I wish I would’ve had room to do in my kitchen even though it takes up a lot of space. It looks like your flour and sugar are in your pantry Are you going to have to take them in to your kitchen every time you bake? You are a better man than I am woman.
Mary, The pop up mixer is a great feature. However, I didn’t really have the space for it. Like you said it takes up a lot of room and I don’t mind moving my mixer around. And my pantry is steps from the kitchen. Grabbing the flour and sugar from the pantry just takes a couple steps. No biggie! 🙂
xo Michael
It is so beautiful! I can imagine a fresh cup of coffee with the morning sunlight pouring it and the dutch door open is heaven. Thank you for sharing!
That’s the plan, Nicole! Thank you so much!
