Thank you very much!
While I don't know the exact dimensions, I can tell you that my contractor and structural engineer determined which beams needed to be supportive due to so many walls that I had removed. Once the support beams were in place, I had my contractor and plasterer plaster/frame the new beams and then add more "fake ones" to mimic the structural ones, creating a grid for more symmetry.

Thanks for asking!

looks like Ammerock pulls and can be used for both doors and drawers.

The cabinet and trim color is Ben Moore's "chantilly lace".

Thanks for asking!

The backsplash tile is a honed, creamy white with beveled edges. I actually wanted to purchase this tile (for a client) and learned it's now discontinued. I'm sure there are other options available but what I love about this is the thickness of it. Waterworks, perhaps? Best of luck!

Thanks for asking!
Kate

No - it means the edges have been built up to give the appearance of a more substantial slab.

It looks like about 8'6 or 9' by about 36" or slightly more.

Ikea

hmm - didn't see them on the Ikea site. What is the product name?

I will have to see. We purchased them for our kitchen about a year and 1/2 ago..

Ingemar - 19825

try a blend of Jacobean and Ebony....

C2 "Vex"

Ikea!

I didn't see these in Ikea's website. Does anyhone know where these are from?

That looks like concrete to me - great looking kitchen. Caesarstone also makes a few materials that look like this as well.

Caesarstone's "Raven" - honed and fabricated (double thickness)

Thank you both! Any chance either of you are in the Chicago suburbs? I need kitchen help :)

I travel for clients...

Zamis - I am a designer in the Chicago suburbs and could help with your kitchen. Let me know if you need any help.

Does the cesearstone "honed" look show a lot of finger prints and streaks? I love the kitchen your designed. Dane

This is a much smaller version of Ina Garten's "Barn" kitchen, and Traditional Home did a "copy" for "Kitchen of the Year- 2009" at Rock. Plaza in NYC. Google either and you can get the details. Let me know if you need additional sources. I have been studying kitchens for two years in preparation for a remodel. Good luck! I also know a fabulous contractor in Chicago. Fabulous and contractor are rarely used in the same sentence, but in this case, it's appropriate.

Are there any issues with honing caesarstone that would render it more porous and likely to foster bacteria? I have heard with honing granite that is an issue, but I really want a non-shiny countertop. Am looking at soapstone as well, and welcome any comments on the use of soapstone and it's durability.

No issues with honed Caesarstone - it's a man made material (quartz) and is therefore non-porous.
Thanks for asking!

sduplantier: Wondering who your fabulous contractor is? Any chance you can share the info?? We all need to know great contractors! Thanks.

Homer Homes, J. Romero. He did a remodel, kitchen and bath, in Chicago for me.
