floor

Q

pretty much, this encapsulates the concept of a glass wash station in the butler's.

Q

close up of the steel upper cabinets shown earlier. a way to have glass protecting open shelving (I dislike the bulky look of closed upper cabinets in a kitchen).

Q

open shelving in a cabinet box.

Q

I like the concept of a separate Hoosier inside a lab kitchen, because baking will overwhelm any cooking area if you give it the chance.

Q

more shallow open shelving.

Q

the over-all design here is heavy-handed, but I like the open shelving around a window.

Q

these are the pull-out style trays that I prefer inside of the few kitchen base/undercounter cabinets

Q

this is the ides of something I'd like upstairs outside the master sitting room. it'd be (more or less) for cocktails, tea and snacks without having to bring a full tray up that staircase.

Q

I think this is fireslate or concrete countertop with wood and steel, but I'd like lighter wood with no texture or hardware. I am not sure the slate floor is any better than rubber tile.

Q

this is pretty much the right idea for me.

Q

and example of a farm sink that could go be at home in a lab.

Q

the steel, black and light wood is the right combination of colors.

Q

this is an expensive version (with, I think, German cabinetry) of what I am looking for.

Q

another shot of a kitchen shown earlier.

Q

very appealing, though (obviously) very long.

Q

kitchen fittings. these upper cabinets are a good exchange for open shelving in one area or two.

Q

butler. I love decorative touches like this ceiling treatment in very small places like pantries and powder rooms.

Q

butler's pantry. I like the lighting options even though they are extreme. I could use, at least, under-counter lighting over the breakfast/snack bar, task lighting over the hand-washing sink and one general fixture overhead. I actually like this lantern, though it's probably too grand for my space, which is smaller.

Q

my dry pantry will be 1/3 this size or less, but at least as high.
