Yep! I've got the hideous orange oak cabinets and if I knew for sure they would look like this, I would do it in a heartbeat! Did you stain them yourselves or have it professionally done? Do you remember the color you used and the type of stain. When I have seen some attempts to actually stain (rather than paint the oak, it just accentuates the grain so I was wondering if it was some really opaque stain.

Anyone with hideous orange oak cabinets needs to see this -- you are the poster child for change. Very well done and I adore all the bling, it's obvious you love your home and I wish you many wonderful years!

Just wanted to let you know I've been looking on RMS for years and this is the FIRST time I have left a commennt! I'm a big DIY person and big on saving money and working w/what you've got and you did an AMAZING job! This looks like a Candice Olsen kitchen..simple, stylish, and sophisticated!

Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments. This is one of the first decorating projects that turned out exactly as I envisioned the first attempt! Many have asked about the tile, here's the link:

Wow, awesome transformation! We have the same style cabinets and wondered what they would look like dark. Thanks for the inspiration!

What a transformation! Love it. And the tile is just what I've been looking for -- brand/pattern?

Outstanding! Hope you post more pics of your home. I'd love to see the rest! You have beautiful taste!

excellent job..love it all!!!!!!!!!!!

First off, what kitchen ? I got caught up looking at the sparkly thing over your dining table. Absolutely love it. I am seriously thinking I am going to have to start getting addresses and become a cat burglar (:

You did a great job on the kitchen. The before and after photos are incredible. The after photos don't even look like the same kitchen. Fabulous!
