Dresser Homes I would do hardwood floors in the kitchen as they are easier on the feet, easier to keep clean, and less expensive than tile. But if you really want to do tile, I would look to some of the ceramic products that look very close to marble or stone. Maybe something that looks like white carerra marble.
Good luck!

Dresser Homes The bottom cabinets are 36" off the floor and approximately 60" wide. I think the TV is a 50" plasma.

chlorinequeen I am a little confused, 50% of what? Love this room.

Dresser Homes At the paint store, tell them you want the particular color (which is in this case Linen White) at 50% strength.

Dresser Homes Sorry, I don't know the source. I believe they were provided by my client's designer. Here is a link to her website. Maybe you can track them down that way. http://www.gilstrapedwards.com/

angryredhead Don't know if it helps, but they're very similar to the Caroline Stationary Occasional Chair by La-Z-Boy.

chicken73 which company is the flooring from??

Dresser Homes @chicken73: The particular flooring subcontractor I used for this job is no longer in business. This photo is from 5-6 years ago. If you are looking for a hardwood flooring company in your area, it should be fairly easy to find someone to do 5" oak floors.

Dresser Homes Benjamin Moore HC-26, 50% strength, flat finish.

Dresser Homes This room is roughly 20' (fireplace wall) by 26" (French door wall).

patricia008 Thank you Gary. I'm going to go with the Crema Marfil. I thought it might be a bit light against the white fireplace, but I think it is a great clean and classic look that is neutral enough pair with anything.

Dresser Homes Good choice. You really cannot go wrong with Crema Marfil. It's the "little black dress" of marbles! :)

kseba what stain did you use on the floor? It looks amazing

Dresser Homes The floors were sanded and finished on site. They are 5" red oak stained with a blend of 50% special walnut and 50% dark walnut (Minwax)

Dresser Homes Minwax.

mamagg Thank you so much!

Cynthia Taylor-Luce Diluted is referring to the intensity, i.e. the pigments added to colour the base. When you dilute a paint colour by 50% it means you are adding half the amount of pigments that are associated with that colour. So if a colour requires 4 drops of red and 2 drops of black, then a 50% version of it would have 2 drops of red and 1 of black.

Dresser Homes Nancy, you just ask for it at the paint store that way. Gary

rdebnam Is that a TV? Or is the TV behind the art over the fireplace? Look how the furniture is placed...none of it is in the diretion of the corner.

Dresser Homes The cabinet is 60" wide. I suspect the TV if probably a 46" TV.

brianfmc Each door is 2'8" wide and 8'0" tall.

Dresser Homes Each door is 2'8" wide and 8'0" tall.

Dresser Homes It really depends upon the height of the doors and windows in the room. If they are at 6'8" or 7'0", then I think it would work fine. If they are 8', I think the coffered ceiling would look crammed down upon the casing above the doors/windows. I believe these beams are something like 10" deep, but you could make them as shallow as 4" - 6" and that would help also.

corres3 Thank you!! :) Your work is beautiful!!!

ccwatters Gary-Just had to say thank you for giving the specifics (twice!) of the floor. So many designers come up short when asked about the specific stain and species combination, and it is such a critical element of a room! Love that floor, and gorgeous room....so elegant, but warm and inviting too!

Cora Lee Where are the counter stools from?

Dresser Homes Not sure, sorry. The homeowner found them.

Dresser Homes The were provided by Gilstrap Edwards design here in Atlanta. If you give Gretchen a call, I'm sure she would be happy to help you.

Dresser Homes I really have never used fiberglass doors. While yes, they are more durable than wood, my clients tend to like the look and feel (and imperfections) of a real wood door. If they are properly installed and not left unpainted very long, you should be able to prevent any warping. The size and wood species is also a big variable. An 8' door is more likely to warp than a 6'8" door. Pine is more volatile than Mahogany. Also, doors with a three-point locking mechanism, which secure the top, middle, and bottom are a good way of keeping the doors from warping.
Good luck!

Dresser Homes I believe the fireplace wall was 22' and the exterior wall (with the French doors) was 26'.

chlorinequeen Is the dryway ceiling 50% less color or 50% less sheen?

Dresser Homes The ceiling paint is 50% strength Linen White done in a flat finish. I hope that clarifies things.

Dresser Homes The box beams are 1x10 on the sides and 1x8 on the bottom. The crown is either a 3" or 4" cove crown. If you show the picture to your builder, they should be able to replicate it pretty easily.
