Your total cost, even with the gift cards, is impressive. I just did a similar reno on a 90's eyesore of a kitchen and it cost me 9K. We chose to keep the original maple cabinets, replace pink Corian with honed black granite, and update the fixtures and hardware.

I think your reno is fresh and clean and an incredible improvement. Props for doing it all without overspending. Enjoy!

I like that this kitchen has some unexpected elements. It's not every day that you see a brick wall in a kitchen, and I like the warmth and texture it brings to the room. Plus, the brick echoes the subway tile backsplash.

The only thing I might change is the stools. I see a simple backless stool--one that tucks inconspicuously under the island overhang--as working well. Beautiful renovation. You should be proud.
