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.
Want to see this kitchen decorated for the fall and Christmas?

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!

This is sigh-worthy. Beautifully done.
Your largest tray that you have displayed is very similar to one that my mom had, but hers was pink. I love how you incorporate both old and new in your decorating.
Absolutely gorgeous! The kitchen & that marvelous butler’s pantry are not only aesthetically beautiful & inviting, but clearly so we’ll-planned in every detail1
Such a beautiful Kitchen/ Dining Room and Pantry.
So well planned ans great use of space!!
Beautiful, I love everything. This is my first time on your blog.
I have to tell you, you put a lot of work into this post. All the pictures and all the information on where to purchase everything.
I will be following you. Such a beautiful blog.
Much love,
Rose
Absolutely gorgeous and timeless. I may have never seen a kitchen that I love more! I love every little detail down to the backsplash behind your glass cabinets- I may be stealing that idea in the future. And built in coffee maker!? I didn’t even know that existed but my little coffee loving heart is 😍. Great job, really great job!
I am so thrilled I stumbled upon your site. The kitchen is probably one of the more tasteful and exquisite ones I have seen. Thank you.
I’m currently building a home in Raleigh. To be honest, the flooring company my builder uses isn’t that helpful, but I’m stuck with them & so figuring it out on my own.
I absolutely love your floors – I know you used Duraseal dark walnut upstairs and Bona downstairs (which is a mix). The downstairs is exactly what i’m looking for. Do you mind sharing the exact mix? I would very very much appreciate it. 🙂
To be honest I don’t remember exactly. It was their “standard” mix for dark walnut. (At least that’s what they told me.) I believe it was 1/2 Jacobean and 1/2 Provincial, but I’m not 100% certain. With any floor stain I HIGHLY recommend having them do test swatches on YOUR floor. Colors can look totally different depending on your type of wood, the age of the wood, the direction home faces, your windows, etc.
Hope that helps!

Just Beautiful! No other words needed!
Hello. Can you tell me is it 8ft ceiling? And how high are wall cabinets ? Looks like 40inch. And which crown moulding did you used ? I preper for my kitchen reno and i have 8ft ceiling. I don’t know if i supposed to go witch 30inch wall cabinet plus high crown moulding or 40inch.. I think 40inch gonna looks better because room gonna ‘be’ higher. What do you think?
This is absolutely gorgeous! Can you let me know what paint color the stunning blue wall is that you have in a photo before entering the kitchen? I’m looking for a blue in my dining room.
Fantastic job with beautiful blend of materials. What is the panelling behind the open shelving? Single boards or a panel?
They are single boards.

Absolutely the best renovation I’ve ever seen. Bravo!! Your new kitchen/dining area is stunning.
How big is your butlers pantry? Trying to guess but hopefully you see this. 🙂
I don’t know the measurements offhand. Sorry!

I love all of this. I just did the cabinets and a bunch of opening spaces in the kitchen area. I love that you kept it airy. We still have a HEAVY pottery barn table that I want to let go, we have two so I really feel my husband should just let me get something else. LOL But time will tell. I enjoy your site.
I have to live through everyone else’s blog while I dig deep in helping my charities and church deal with COVID. It has been a pleasure sipping my morning coffee and enjoying your amazing site.
Have a wonderful day.
Love what it transformed into! Beautiful!
First: WOW. Your kitchen…sigh…it’s so relaxing (visually calm and beautiful) and functional (look at all the hidden gems!). I helped out in a kitchen design firm for years and saw a LOT of high-end kitchens go in and this one still stands out. 🙂
Second: We have been building (yes, literally. DH loves both general and fine woodworking) our kitchen during the pandemic. We are so close to being done! I have a divided drawer for cutting boards built, but we haven’t added the dividers yet. I’m not sure how wide I want each section. This drawer isn’t as wide as your’s…only 14 1/4” wide left to right *inside* the sides of the drawer box so I’m thinking only 3 divider boards, but maybe 4. Our baking trays will also have divided slots, but horizontally spaced above the ovens. I did a search for pics to try to get an idea of spacing and that’s how I stumbled on your beauty. Any tips or measurements from your’s would be GREATLY appreciated so I can get these built! Thank you in advance!
This is gorgeous! It totally warms up the kitchen!
oh my gosh…… your kitchen is fabulous…… from each and every angle!! you can tell that it was thoughtfully designed with so much attention to detail…..loved the drawer for breadboards and large pans that store vertically… and the beautiful shades of paint that you selected…. and the dutch door… always a favorite of mine! just one question… is that a wallace nutting print right next to the dutch door?? i tried using a magnifying glass; but it wasn’t much help!!! i know that you will enjoy your new kitchen for countless years to come….. do you have a post of the rest of your house?? i am a newcomer to your blog; and would love to see your entire abode!!!!! thanks so much!!
Your kitchen remodel is amazing! Love everything…..but wondering how your clean and take care of hardwood in a kitchen?
Awww. Thank you so much. And I clean it just like the rest of the hardwood throughout my home.

Just WOW!!!
LOVE gallery wall of vintage metal trays. Fabulous art it is.
I am blown away
