Can I ask about your pendants? What size are they? Are they Hudson Valley, if so do you know the product number? I love them!!

Thanks

We're in the design phase of our own kitchen remodel and would love to achieve a similar color on the cabinets. Would you mind sharing the color of yours? And would you mind also sharing the width of the walkways surrounding your island? We really want to include an island with seating in our kitchen but the general consensus on this site seems to be that we don't have enough space. Your layout looks very "comfortable", so I'd love to have something to compare it to! Thanks!!

How long is your island?

Erika

Erika the island is 11'3"

Farmhousebound, yes George uses his cubby alot

Michellemarie, the island is holding up very well. I have a 9 and 14 year old. It has a finish called durata, it's a marine finish and impossible to stain. The prep sink faucet is made my Mico.

Thanks for all the nice comments. It is really rewarding to hear all of your feedback!

What a treat just to look at your kitchen photos is!

I love the grain and stain on the cabinets. I love your floors! What width and stain are on your beautiful Quarter Sawn White Oak Floors?

Thank you for sharing.

Enjoy it!

You have incredible taste, and I think you've created a timeless kitchen that will continue to look gorgeous through the years.

Erinct for me the 40" is plenty between the island and the counter. If it were me I would move the island over to make more room on the seating/pantry side. It is going to be a squeeze to get into your pantry if someone is seated. I've attached three pictures of the space with a person in it so you can get a better idea.

40"

And that lucky dog, George!! What breed is he? My 2 pups would be so envious of his cozy kitchen nest!

Could you please tell me where you bought your cup drawer pulls? I bought some from Rejuvenation Hardware and although I love the cabinet latches, I am not so impressed with the cup pulls. They feel light to me.

Thanks in advance. And thanks for sharing. I have a feeling you'll be receiving plenty of emails and posted questions for awhile : )

erinct - to answer your question about tightness behind seating at the island. I will have 12" deep pantry cabs directly behind my island and the island will have seating. I will have 48" of space from the counter to the cabinets. I think rule of thumb is 24" to pull out the chairs, not sure how much space once someone is actually sitting in them. I think you will have a hard time accessing that space if the chairs are occupied. Are you storing items you will need on a daily basis? How deep are the pantry cabs?

Lynn2006 the QS white oak is 4" in a provincial stain.

amck George is a spoodle, also known as a cockapoo.

Judydel, the hardware is from Crown Point. They are quite heavy.

malhgold: We have a pantry on each side of a refrigerator, both of which will be 30"w x 15" deep. I wouldn't mind reducing the depth of the pantries, so long as I could still store cereal boxes and similar kid foods in them. Otherwise, I'll just have to make sure that I store often used foods on the far end and only put items behind the seating that isn't used as frequently.

Thanks again for everyone's help! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!!!

It's funny - I have been seriously considering the same pendants and my island is identical in length to yours. Can I ask how you spaced them? I thought I would need the larger ones but yours look perfect. Are you happy with the amount of light they throw?

Thanks and congrats on a beautiful kitchen.

Thanks again to everyone for all the nice words.

How do you like the Lacanche?

Absolutely breathtaking. Gorgeous details, right down to my favorite flower--the Hydrangea.:^)

You must pinch yourself everytime you walk in that amazing room. Wowzer.

I keep coming back just to gaze at that marble....(ours will go in the end of July, till then I have yours)

Also- what are your stools?
Are they from Yankee Sturbrige or Crate and Barrel, by any chance?
I'm deciding among those and wooden x back stools...Yours look super comfy.

Thanks,
Katie

Enjoy your marvelous space!

P.S. -- LOVE LOVE LOVE your kitchen!!
