karrol Thank you. May I also ask is the color an off white or white and is there a glaze on them. Lovely kitchen.

Norris Architecture Never pure white and yes there is a very slight glaze

Norris Architecture I don't know that specific line item in the budget, but the cost will vary widely depending on local craftsmen, wood, and finish. Your contractor shold be able to give you a cost. Solid beams are easier to control the quality but usually are about 50% more than box beams. When doing box beams make sure you have a good craftsman that can hide the corner joints well, and ask them to provide a mock up section to verify you like the wood, color, finish, and joint quality.

katieglassley thank you!!!

Norris Architecture That is a reclained brick from Chicago. The supplier is no longer in business. The best thing you can do is look for a local reclaimed brick supplier and go see what they have on their yard. Make sure they have enough for your job.

The Shabby Nest Although this island appears to have been glazed, Valspar's White Pine (WV31012) is a similar paint color.
