Where were you able to hide the air returns? - In a beautiful kitchen like this, it is amazing how well the mundane elements of design are handled. I've looked everywhere for that 20x20 filter grille. I give up, where did you put them? »
jeanettemp It has to be down draft... Jenn-air makes them, I am still looking for the best product. If anyone knows of a good maker of down draft vents please share.
grimmen I was told by a friend that there are cooktops with pop-up vents that are much better than just a regular JennAir downdraft. I don't kow the manufacturer....
Kitchen Island - I am looking to redo my kitchen and love this size kitchen island, can you please let me know where I can get an island like this one? I have tried lots of online sites with no luck. »
joyful_lady I don't know if you are in US but here you can go to one of the big box stores - Lowe's or Home Depot, for example and get catalogs that tell you cabinet sizes. From that you can look at the different styles of cabinets - drawers, pull outs, doors, speciality ones - like a lift for the kitchen aide mixer or pull out pantry cabinets, etc. The choices are vast. You can decide what you want. Typical base cabinets are 24" deep. You can put two back to back to make the island 4' wide and if you want it even wider you can have an empty space in the middle that is not too wide or get creative and have pantry pull outs that use up some of that or you could even have custom made doors that leave a long space that could be used to hid long things. Once you figure out the cabinets you want, you have them installed - with electrical outlets if you want that feature. Then the granite folks come out and measure the base cabinets to ensure the granite fits properly. The big box stores sell granite but you'll have to go look at the actual slab somewhere else before they cut. There is no limit to the size of island you could create in this way.
You can put many cabinets side by side to make the length as long as you want it. Each cabinet width varies from as little as 3" in to 42" - you'd just want to make sure both sides had the same lenth if you do back to back cabinets to get the 48" or wider width. If you want narrower width there are cabinets that are only 12" deep -- you could have 24" on one side and 12" on the other -- back to back - for as much length as you want.
Paul Moon Design Thank you for the kind words. They are oil rubbed bronze and I believe the manufacturer is listed in some of the other photos from this set.
kdub2 Based on the dimensions given earlier of the island (5x9.6), from window to wall I would say 16-17 feet and from oven to end of island 13.6-14.6 feet.
Annie Thornton Here you can see the rest of the photos from this home. There are some showing the transition into the dining room from the kitchen, and it looks like wood was used there as well. I am assuming wood was the primary flooring material in this house.
paul,
i love your base detail here. is it just quarter round attached to the base? what is the profile of your base trim. hard to tell from the photos but the top edge looks softer than just a square edge. thanks for your help!

Do one work on kitchen then ceiling or the other way around for new home - please tell me this, Do I work on kitchen first or ceiling for a new house? thank you »
like pretty much everything about this kitchen (especially french doors) but would like the cabinets to be a bit less modern and have a bit more roundness (?) in them.
This is an A minus for both Mom and Dad. They like warmth. (walls and floor) Also, mom likes warmth in backsplash. I think they would also like with a dark island.
