strom Yes -- I just checked their website, and it's true, the decorative ceramic molding pieces work for the design element behind the cooktop, but I did not see that they have a coordinated subway tile that has the modulated gray to green shown in the photo. What subway tile did you use, or that would be similar to the one shown? Thanks again!

Lighting in adjacent rooms - Dear Angela,
Gorgeous kitchen. I have a lighting question, though. In our home we have a dining room connected to the kitchen/breakfast nook/great room, in a semi-open style home.
Do I need to make sure that all of the light fixtures are related to each other? As in if I do a crystal chandelier in the dining room, I need to do crystal pendants over the island, and a crystal fixture over the breakfast nook?
Thanks! »
A crystal chandelier works with just about anything~ it is like a nice tennis bracelet. You can wear it with a gown... or a tee-shirt & jeans. If you do crystal everywhere, it might look too dressy and a bit overdone.
Otherwise the lighting fixtures should work with each other in style and/or finish if within viewing distance of each other.
Angela Otten; WmOhs Showrooms Inc Travertine is a porous stone; but if you use a good sealer I wouldn't have a problem using it throughout a home. If you select a rustic texture, it will help to disguise any possible stains. It is a nice look and works beautifully with many styles and color schemes.

Amber Asmus notice the little dings in it? Bet you could get that by bracing the hood with sand or something not solid, but sturdy and then throw gravel on it. Test in an inconspicuious spot first to see how to get the desired look, then go get a metal antiquing treatment like they sell at hardware or craft stores. It's going to be similar to the kind used to get patina on copper.
Angela Otten; WmOhs Showrooms Inc The treatment on the hood is done by Liquid Metal Coatings, Inc. You can look on thier website for their technique: http://www.liquidmetalcoatings.com/ Its a very custom artistic process.
Use glass to balance out other elements. In this elegant and traditional kitchen, the glass cabinetry on either side of the large vent hood help balance out the weight of the fixture by "stretching" the weight out. In a sense, it lessens the overall impact and makes all parts feel cohesive and unified.
