what color tiles were used as the back splash? - bought a condo that has 1980 gray melamine cabinets, that are in perfect condition. i updated them with long brushed nickel hardware/knobs and i plan to keep them and work my kitchen around them. the kitchen currently has wallpaper and old countertops. i love this gray/white marble top and wondering if i should be using white subway tiles, with gray gout? should i be looking at other color tiles? »
Emily Hurley I think the color grout you end up using is a lot about personal preference. I like really tight joints with grout that disappears as the same color as the tile.
I think it will look nice (white subway + gray grout). Be sure to choose the grout color after looking at several samples...some gray grout looks too dark East Side Eden
cabinet maker? - Can you tell me what company makes these cabinets? I am in the middle of a kitchen remodel and am having a really hard time finding an actual gray. I would like to see some woodgrain, but don't want brown. »
North American Materials & Manufacturing If you like the look of the cabniants, you should check out www.qlconstruction.com and contact us; we have a company we use that has a very similar look and feel but it is very cost effectiv. Attached is an example of one of the many styles that are availble.
Island. Lovely - I love this island and am needing to make a decision about the design of ours ASAP re: our kitchen reno of a 1920s home. Our kitchen is not huge and the openness on the bottom of this island, I feel, might be a better choice for this close space. My question is about cleaning under it. Has this been a challenge for the homeowner? Thank you. »
Another partially open island. Here the leg goes all the way up to the countertop, but because the flat panel of the cabinet needs a place to intersect, the top section of the leg is flat and the bottom section is shaped. Again, notice how the panels are recessed significantly, making these legs stand out visually.
gray cabinets, marble counter, not a fan of the black counter tops, love the lights in the upper cabinets, love the plate rack above the sink and the decorative plate rack. just love this kitchen. This is the feel I want in my kitchen
