Beautiful kitchen - This is the style of my planned kitchen island, half cabinet with the other half open. What supports the open section of the countertop, particularly the waterfall side panel? I want to use quartz but my installer says you can not use just quartz, you need to build the support with wood and then maybe wrap with quartz. Could you tell me how this was made?
Thank you »

SalvageArtisan Well I suppose you're probably right that they could look very similar. From what I've seen, caesarstone can have a really uniform texture and finish which of course lends it to modern and ultra modern designs. Caesarstone can also look more like granite counters, (which I'm not a fan of) to appeal to more traditional customers.
In my opinion, I don't think concrete looks much like either granite or caesarstone but I actually like CONCRETE BEST! We're doing our farmhouse remodel in an industrial/loft style and we're planning on using concrete counters and maybe even some concrete floor tiles if there is such a thing???
Burco Surface & Decor Yes there is such thing as concrete floor tiles, we make them. They are not cheap but they do look amazing. I like how you view concrete! Concrete can be made to look like granite or marble, but why? Dont get me wrong, if we have a customer that wants that look we will do it. However, I think if thats the look you want get granite or marble. Concrete has it own unique look that can only be achieved with concrete, that's what makes it so nice.
Salvageartist, when you get ready to do your concrete countertops go to our website and send me an email. If your going to hire a professional I can put you in touch with someone local who will do a good job.
apedersen Thank you Michael - I love them! any chance you recall how much they may have cost and how I could get some custom made for my new kitchen?
Thanks again for your assistance

Rebekah Zaveloff Drawers like this are wonderfully stylish and symmetrical for the back of an island. You can order cabinets like this with a second roll out drawer inside. They're great for things like table clothes, napkins, table settings and other seasonal or holiday type storage.
bepsf Deep drawers such as these are perfect for pots, pans, baking dishes and seldom used electric kitchen appliances - They're far easier to get into and access than deep cabinets
Absolutely gorgeous! Where can I find the decorative items in the bookcase/hutch? - I have been looking for items like these and these colors where I live with no success. Can you please let us know where to purchase? Wish I had the money to have you design my kitchen. »
Move island seating away from the main working area. If you're considering an island as your main gathering spot, be aware of the intersection between work areas and guest hangouts. The cook should be able to work efficiently and unhindered even with friends hanging out during final prep time. In this kitchen, the seating area is moved to one end of the kitchen, opposite of the working end, allowing both areas plenty of space to function properly.
