| Wow. The crown molding and the backsplash give you such drama! That is one impressive slab on your island, and I love your lighting, too. Small detail -- I'm curious about your drawer pulls, because they look unusual. What are they and where did you find them? |
|
| Absolutely gorgeous. What an amazing piece of stone on that peninsula!!!!! |
|
| Wow, it's gorgeous! What is the granite called? |
|
| Can we get details and a close up of the backsplash?? It looks beautiful! |
|
| Very nice! Very open and bright. The backsplash looks amazing! |
|
| Your new kitchen is gorgeous. I like how you have black and white cabinets. I also love the table and the light above it. Where did you find the light fixture above the dining table? I would love that table base with a black glass top.Where did you find that as well??? |

| Stunning! Yes..details of the backsplash please! I love your lights. I'm thinking of doing them above our island. |
|
| Where are your barstools from? Are they brown like the table chairs? Exactly what I'm looking for. Your kitchen is gorgeous! |
|
| Oh. My. Gosh. That is spectacular! We need the deets--starting with that amazing stone! |

| Oh, I love those chairs, the granite and the chandy over the table. I like the way the windows wrap the table space and the location of the ?deck? door. What are those tiles? |

| Stunning! This is going to be an inspiration kitchen for quite a few! I love the mix of modern and traditional. The light fixtures are phenomenal, the calm color palette is perfect. And the backsplash is hot! I remember the old thread about your crown molding, it turned out beautiful. Enjoy your new kitchen! |
|
| ok: here are some details... granite is bianco antico here's a closer pic of the granite & backsplash: |

| Beautiful-so elegant/classy. EVERYTHING coordinates-like they all were made for each other. |
|
| So, so nice and soooo big!!!! |
|
| Gorgeous! |
|
| Absolutely stunning! I remember when you were trying to choose a backsplash and beekeeper suggesting the mandala. I've been anxiously waiting to see the finished product and it was definitely worth the wait!! I love it! Definitely going into my favorites!! |

| Wow! What a beautiful kitchen. I especially love the lighting, the granite, and the spacious feel of the kitchen. |

| It's absolutely gorgeous. I especially love the backsplash as well. Enjoy! |
|
| Love the cabinet color and style (what brand is the cabinet and is that considered a shaker style?), love the crown molding and how you made the cabinets look like they go to the ceiling, love the range hood, love the appliances, love the floors but most of all I adore your granite! Thanks for sharing. Just beautiful! |

| Love your lights and backsplash--they immediately jump out to me as major wow factors! Also the contrast between dark and light works really well. Enjoy! |
|
| Love it! I remember when you were trying to figure out the crown molding detail. You hit on a perfect note with your choice. Please tell me more. How tall is the board between cabinet molding and crown molding? TIA! |
|
| Beautiful!! Well done. |
|
| The size of the tiles in your backsplash work perfectly with your hood. They look substantial and rich. I also love your lighting fixtures and all the other choices. It does have an amazing mix of modern and traditional. Clean lines and a strong presence. It looks like a pleasure to work in ;) |

| I love it. You did a wonderful job with everything. Do you mind if I ask what faucet is at the island and what are the inner dimensions of that sink? I have a similar placement, I believe and I'm so nervous to take the plunge without seeing it done IRL!! Thanks! |
|
| Absolutely beautiful... I love the sink in the island... very cool added feature. Congratulations!! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Need Countertops?
|
| Beautiful! Love that bianco antico, and the backsplash is its perfect complement. Congratulations on a gorgeous space! |
|
| I showed my friend this link and now he wants cabinets the color of yours and wants to use crown molding like you did on top. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful kitchen. |
|
| Fantastico! |

| Beautiful job. All of the details are so perfect. Everything just works so well together. I have a couple of quick questions. 1) Where is your pantry? (sorry if I missed this in the info.) 2) What are the dimensions of your kitchen and your island? |
|
| If you can get to replying .... what type of wood floors to you have? Nail and stain or engineered? Type of wood? They are beautiful! |
|
| odiegirl13: the pantry is next to the butler's pantry which is through that open header next to the range wall. it's a huge walk in pantry. not sure of the dimensions of the kitchen. it's big. the island is 9ft x 4.5ft. shermp: we have quartersawn white oak flooring w/a dark walnut stain and a satin finish. i actually like the regular oak flooring w/the dark walnut stain that we have upstairs better but we had to do quartersawn on this floor because we have radiant heating underneath. but the stain came out a bit darker on the upstairs floors w/more grain detail and it's really pretty up there. |

| Ooh, the stingray backsplash came out awesome! Everything looks great! The floors are so rich, too. |
|
| Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous kitchen. It's absolutely stunning! Enjoy many fabulous meals! |
|
| Beautiful kitchen! I love your granite and floor color - very dramatic. Your island pendants are great too. |

| What brand of cabinets did you use? What area of the country do you live in? Hardware ??? |
|
| albanynyjen, i don't know the brand since i used the place my builder gets cabinets made. the color is white dove though. we live in northern new jersey (i went to suny albany). the hardware was picked out at the cabinet maker too so i don't know the brand of that. sorry i couldn't be more helpful. |
|
| WOW! Niiiiice. |

| Your kitchen is beautiful! What size pendants did you order? I am thinking of doing the same or similar but am not sure about size. Yours look perfect! |
|
- Posted by sparklekitty (My Page) on Wed, Sep 1, 10 at 22:51
| Well done. All lovely but the granite and backsplash really made it a WOW - bold and beautiful choices. Congrats. |
|
| thanks everyone! kristin773 - the pendants are 11" diameter. perfect size for this size island. |

| KRIKEEEEEEE...how did I miss this post. Just fabulous....love the colors, your counters and tile are delicious!!! Love how your cabinets and floors complement each other. NICE JOB :-) |

| Like wear_your_baby, I'm curious about your faucet. Which one is i? No wonder I like BA. It's GORGEOUS!!! And all of the details compliment each other perfectly. The way the molding is finished above the cabinets is something I want to file in the memory bank. I think we voted on that at some point, didn't we? (It's been a while....and a long summer with the kids.....) |

| Stunning! The floors, cabs, and backsplash compliment your granite perfectly! |
|
| wear_your_baby & breezygirl, the faucet is the kohler simplice. same faucet for the main sink as the island sink (but a slightly smaller version). |

| Oh my! That's stunning! I love it all. |
