SF Design & Build @Marie, of course it is, and if it's your client's, I wanna see a smile on your face. And when you deposit their check, you can tell the bank teller all about your lousy bad taste client. Bank tellers love a good story.

Marie Hebson's interiorsBYDESIGN Inc. @ SF Design - LOL - true, only concern SF is my clients depend on me to guide them in their choices and steer them clear of decisions that will detract from the overall value of their home. We all know taste is a matter of perception - and, like art, is in the eye of the beholder. If these clients for this home are happy - and it is there forever home - then fabulous. My opinion is the contrary - we have cabinetry with the grain running horizontal on door fronts, and vertical on end gables - with the grain not even matching from bottom to top!, then we have different colour/tone on the floor (not complimenting), with another grain in the marble countertops. It's too much of a similar vibe, and its rendering all of them to be dull - rather than taking each individual item and making them as absolutely beautiful as they deserve to be...
Gotta run - have an amazing day - I love constructive criticism, its how we all hone our crafts and become better professionals - cheers!

folklaur Thanks. I'm still not sure if I can commit to grey. I have always liked this kitchen, but we are not the kind of folks who can replace our kitchen every 5 years. Wondering if it will look "so 2012" in a few years.

honaybfly I think it looks light and airy...simply beautiful!

michigammemom Love this kitchen with similar surfaces to yours. The designer notes that the backsplash is iridescent glass tile.

Charmean Neithart Interiors, LLC. Sure, looks great. Take a look...


Provides a nice contrast. Hope that helps. Charmean Neithart

Gloria Barrigan we are doing this in a high gloss for our kitchen island, and the wall cabinets in off white matte with a gray vertical vein

Amantea Architects This looks like a high end Melamine product by Cleaf called "Castellina"...

metamorphosis interior design, Inc. Can you please tell me who makes the light fixture by the range hood in the picture?

barbarals Just ordered a modernaire hood! thanks.

traceymcl Electrolux makes great ranges in many sizes. #1 appliance in Europe and available in US

salling This is a quartz counter top by perhaps Silestone or Cesearstone. This is the latest trend in modern and has a lot of benefits over granite. One of the benefits is you dont need to seal quartz like you have to do with granite every few months.

traceymcl Use tongue oil or wax

bussanonymous Quartz, most likely cambria pure white

salling I thought these were quartz too,but just noticed the grains of color running through it. This appears it might actually be white marble.

Rebekah Zaveloff That's most likely a proprietary cabinet finish from the cabinet manufacturer. I think that Poggenpohl cabinets have a finish similar finish to this.

Kumar Iyer this material is melamine chipboard made by a company called Cleaf from Italy. The name is LAVA TEAK and as rightly pointed out was launched by Poggenpohl about 2-3 years ago. Goes well with a glossy white combination

salling Yes agree... am 100% sure they are riff cut or quarter sawn gray stained oak.

lonardo They are a simulated rift oak. The material is actually plastic. Kind of like laminate but with a texture of wood.

jestasam Thanks!

salling Pedini does this cabinet and i would not be surprised if these are not Pedini cabinets

Paul Anater It depends on how closely scribed your counter is. Backsplashes are usually there to hide and cover the gap between the counter and the wall. If you can minimize the width of that gap and then caulk it completely, you don't need a back splash.

texasmo If you look at the photo closely, you can just barely see a horizontal line about 24" off the countertop. With the slight green tint below, I'd guess they used a sheet of glass as a backsplash, which is fairly common when one doesn't want 'busy' tile in a clean lines kitchen.

Rebekah Zaveloff That looks like a rift cut white oak veneer with a grayish stain, Wood-Mode has something similar in a color called driftwood.
