Looks great, love the stairs. Don’t really care for the stamped backsplash. It feels kind of cheap and with your cabinets/floor/counter I feel like something else would have really made it stand out and feel more cohesive. I know its subjective. I love the single basin sink. ---

I think real tin is classic and fits perfectly in a updated house from 1907. This is not home depot faux tin it is the real deal and looks great in person. Needless to say I think your opinion is meh at best. Obviously no matter what kitchen I post someone would say that. It’s cool can’t please everyone. ---

Having done alot of older wood restos in houses, I feel your pain in having to sand the stairs and landing,but it looks great! Also the tin accent on the fridge is such a small detail that really brings the kitchen together nice. ---

I was considering making the tin side panels then I got a quote for the subzero sides and it was like $1,500 so it was an easy decision and it does make the room flow really well. We were able to sand everything in a day! Was brutal but pretty run…lots of beer. Dusty beer. ---

I figured that would be the response (period correctness). The windows in the blue carpet picture look BA. ---

Did the kitchen have a tile backsplash? If so did you remove it or go over it with the tin? ---

Looks good! although i can’t tell because your pics suck 🙂 but the sink looks great with the counter. glad it isn’t something not as unique as the rest of the kitchen (white/bisque). We did the same thing with our fridge (making own panels) it was a stupid amount of money so we trimmed them with cabinet doors to look like the factory one, minus the super high expense. Everything goes together well considering the style/age of the house. good job :tup: ---

Thanks guys! The gf has a DSLR maybe I will make her take better pics sometime. Deebo your parents probably did the same picard I did when they tried selling me 1.5k-2.5k side panels. The farmhouse copper sink is legit…but the pics do suck. ---
