While I'm not crazy about all those directional lights in the kitchen, that looks great.

How many people do you know, that have a little tiny rock show in their basement kitchen?

I build to make people happy. Personally, I would have done many things differently, but it ain't my basement.

That basement looks effin awesome. how much would you charge to come to Michigan and do my basement?
I am looking at this at work and one of my buddies just said that kitchen looks better than his. I think it looks great. Only thing I would have done differently would have been stained cabinetry rather than painted.
What did you use for the ceiling? Did you insulate there for sound? Also, I see some hanging light fixtures, no can lights?
And one more; Flooring? I see a floating engineered hardwood did you level the basement floor first? or a subfloor?

I am working on my plans for my basement so thats why so many questions.

Hard to believe that's a basement.

I think the kitchen looks dang good too! And I'm with you on wood over metal studs AMJ. I personally don't think the metal studs have as much torsional rigidity as wood unless you have plywood on them as opposed to sheet rock (I'd have to ask my dad though, he's the stress analysis engineer, not me :P). It could be the ones I've seen were just shitty work but I'll use wood on anything I build.
