Our home is in Texas. I will post other interior pics in just a bit.

Patio and Pool

Enjoy your new home and kitchen!

I love, love, love the beautiful glass art over your fireplace in this picture. I would love to see a better/closer picture.

Sigh...back to my DIY.

Could you possibly post a close up and give some information about the console behind the sofa in the great room? Looks like baskets involved?

Thanks so much,
Katie

Would you mind sharing the paint color and light fixture source in your master bedroom??

If I woke up every day in a house like yours, I'd find it hard to ever leave...I'd probably call in "house" to work, lol....

Gorgeous house! Looks like a magazine shoot.

As for the paint colors we used, I cannot seem to put my hands on my master paint list tonight. I'll keep trying, or I'll email the designer tomorrow and get her to send me a copy.

The master bedroom is not painted. It is wallpapered. We used the wallpaper linked below.

The lighting fixture in the master bedroom is from Corbett Lighting.

The console in the family room is from Hickory Chair:

It's hard to see, but one of the pictures shows the other wall oven. It's in the center of that wall on the bottom. (Like where you would find a dishwasher). I thought I wouldn't like it there; but it doesn't bother me at all. We were having a hard timing making it work in the layout. Originally, I was going to do a full range, but when I went to to the Miele showroom for a demonstration, I decided that I "needed" the speed oven/steam oven, so we had to change the layout of the kitchen a bit.

Can you describe the thin tube lighting that shines onto the backsplash? Is it from a hardware store or a specialty lighting store?

Thank you so much for the information on the console. I love it! Can you also please tell me about the baskets underneath? Sorry to be a furniture stalker-I just think it might be perfect for our renovation.

Thanks & congrats again,
Katie

The thin tube lighting...are you asking about the undercounter lights? I don't remember making a specific selection for that in our lighting meeting, just confirming that we needed undercounter lights. However, my invoice says the vendor is AMF lighting if that helps.

On the kitchen, I love the different colors and materials. The blue hood rocks.

Great job. Hope you'll let us know when it's in Architectural Digest.

*jaw drop*

holy crap!

you must be a designer (or working with a fabulous one)

when will we be seeing this featured in Elle Decor or Architectural Digest?

Congratulations on such an amazing home!

LOVE my countertops. The color in the kitchen is is Buttermilk. We put Organic White in the laundry room. I love that, too. It seems to pretty solid. I have three boys. About a week after we moved into the house, one of my sons was doing a project for school. He was coloring with permanent marker. I didn't notice until the next morning when we picked it up, that it had bled through to the counter. A quick spray of lysol with bleach cleaned it right up, no problem.

We also had black paint (from the hood) spilled on the Carrera Marble. Thankfully, it cleaned up, too. Ha Ha

Don't know the exact name of the tile, but it came from Walker Zanger.

also the white stone/tile above the bath tub looks great - can you please share what it is? thanks

Walker Zanger - Grammarcy Park - Color is called Pipe Smoke

I don't think the pictures do it complete justice. It's one of the most commented on features when people come into the house. I've heard more than once that it's the perfect color for the ktichen.

Master Bath Wall - Wow, we went back and forth on this one. The tile is came from Waterworks. It is so beautiful in person. It's called Aqualinea? It was $80 sheet, so ultimately, we did not use it on the entire wall. We alternated rows of it with rows of Thassos marble which was a lot less expensive. It turned out great for me.

Waxing philosophical here: You know one thing I love about GW? We thoroughly enjoy this masterpiece, which must have cost (I am guessing) well into 7 figures (or maybe 8?). But we are also fervid about the oh-so-right budget reno of the 120 sq. ft. 1920's kitchen, or the tasteful remake of the 1970's one. Makes me warm inside to see them all done well.

**THUD**

(Shelayne down for the count.)

sochi has a finished kitchen

Dean_I has a dream kitchen

aceofdiamonds has images
it's an enchanting kitchen
every lamp makes a reflection in the surface below it except for a few

This is one of the most amazing spaces I've seen and I've been here on GW for years already!!

I'm stunned by how well the whole house flows together and individual elements bind together! Every room in your house is to die for. I see so many houses, real expensive, which still seem like they lack soul or warmth.....but yours is so so so stunning and perfect.

Enjoy. I envy you. If this is the house you can get in Texas then I feel like moving... LOL!!

One more comment: I was drooling when I saw your outdoor spaces - pool deck, living and dining. What a great idea to incorporate large porches in the plan itself! In many of the cases, outdoor spaces look like an afterthought but in your house, they appear very much a part of the house right from the start!!

I can never tire of looking through your pictures.

Once again, enjoy your space! Congratulations on a job impeccably done.

The kitchen counter barstools are from Barclay Butera with a custom ultra suede fabric. I have three boys, so I needed a fabric that is pretty bullet proof.

Thanks!

I love everything about your kitchen and house.
But I especially love your color palette and your yellow kitchen curtains.
Would you mind sharing the name of your fabric and/or the designer/company who made it?
Also, do you by chance have a close up?

Thanks for indulging me.
I made cafe curtains for my kitchen last summer at the height of my kitchen reno.

Now, as the days grow shorter and colder I realize that they look like spring/summer curtains.
I'm trying to find a warm and sunny fabric for the winter months.
I can practically feel the warmth of your kitchen through the internet connection!

Aceofdiamond's sunny kitchen curtains:

In the simplest photo showing the three pendants and the hood, look at the light: that alone will confirm to you it's all artificial, beyond all resemblance to reality. If you divide that photo into a dozen vertical strips, I can comment about the light and shadows in each of these strips.

The photo work may have been done by a person who had a few goals to achieve.
A goal might be to create envy and become the center of attention. A psychological goal.
A goal might be to get paid by one or more sponsors. Perhaps the employer is an agency that was able to get several payments. Every photo shows products. These company's products are mentioned in the thread.
Also, questions posted about other items are not answered well. That too is fishy and it constitutes sufficient ground all by itself to make one draw the conclusion that the internet is not always exactly what you might want it to be. Billions of dollars are spent on internet marketing; where does it end up on your computer screen? Welcome to the world of envy management.

Buyer beware, things are not always what they appear to be, you get the picture. A few months before this thread started I saw a thread about someone building a new house and claiming to be buying eight slabs of granite for the kitchen. Since a slab is 40 or 50 square feet, it would have meant the kitchen was a very big room. Even billionaires do not have that size of kitchen.

Hth

It is a common technique used by professionals taking architecture photos. If I was the builder of that home, I would be taking these for promo shots. It certainly does not mean that the house is fake as you have implied (twice). I have a simple background and simple means, but the fantastic kitchens shown on this forum have given me ideas that I hope will make my kitchen special to me. I would hate for people to be intimidated into not wanting to show their kitchens and homes in the best light (pun intended), or answer product questions, since then I would never have the opportunity to learn and incorporate some beauty into my own life.

Fantastic Home.
