Perched on wooded hilltop, this historical estate home was thoughtfully restored and expanded, addressing the modern needs of a large family and incorporating the unique style of its owners. The design is teeming with custom details including a porte cochère and fox head rain spouts, providing references to the historical narrative of the site’s long history.

what is a good color palette? - We are remodeling our kitchen. We are going from Oak cabinets to white cabinets much like the ones in this photo. We have med/dark wood floors and our counter tops will be a composite granite top - mainly black with some cream swirls of rock. There will be a banquette sitting by our bay windows. »

katiemarron what is the countertop material?

jbrockman1 It is Cambria - the design is Laneshaw which is a granite composite-mainly black with cream and other stones in it. Our floor is reddish/brown wood vaneer flooring. I cannot seem to attach a photo of the granite countertop from my ideabook.

Cliffside Industries Many cabinet hardware manufacturers make pulls and knobs like this. The handles are very similar to Cliffside Industries' SP-8, and the finish appears to be polished nickel. That handle also comes in 3", 5", and 12" sizes. See the picture below for comparison: the photo includes optional backplates which do not have to be used.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Traditional Key elements: The large-scale harlequin floor grounds the room in a traditional pattern. Glass cabinet fronts reflect the light, while the scalloped window treatment and drum pendant lights soften the room.

added by gypsie327 to gypsie327's Ideas (4 weeks ago)
lPerfect. I love square opening in the middle wall. This is usually added (or should i say removed:) to give illusion that these r not only separate rooms but carry diff. purpuses. By adding the gap n slightly connecting the 2 rooms, this will add a little casual comfort to warm the house, giving it a friendly n welcoming impression.
