Post-hurricane sandy kitchen renovation - Do the white cabinets have a glaze? »
Granite or quartzite? - I've been looking at quartzite for my kitchen, I believe the white princess granite is the same thing (many places call it granite even though it is slightly different). Could you tell me your source as I live in the Bay Area too? »
Futuro Futuro Kitchen Range Hoods Princess White (also called "Super White" or "Vermont White") is not a "true" granite, but a quartzite with minor impurities. So, yes, it is the same thing as quartzite, in terms of composition & hardness.
Some sources list it as a granite, which is incorrect, and others make the even worse mistake of listing it as a marble (it may look marble-ish, but Mohs hardness of 7 is waaaay different from the Mohs 3 of marble).
Does it work to have the stove and the sink separated by an island? - This is the third time in a week I have seen this in a model home or magazine or online. How do people make this work? it seems to me that you need access to a sink and not the small one in the island when you are cooking - draining vegetables and other similar things. »
Julie Williams Design The sink on the island is actually a very good size, it is the primary prep area for this kitchen, the main sink is only for clean up.
Nook - Could you ease share the dimensions of the banquette bench in the big bay window? Trying to incorporate this type seating and lost on dimensions to use. Thanks in advance. »
Julie Williams Design The island is a custom color on custom cabinets, you can not buy it out of a can as it has a glaze and a brushing technique. The tile is by Walker Zanger
Love the breakfast nook area - I wonder if the nook gets in the way of the kitchen triangle??? Do you find it easy to cook with this configuration?? Thanks in advance... Designing a house and love this,. »
Julie Williams Design The breakfast nook is completely out of the working triangle by about 4 feet. This is a very efficient kitchen to cook in, there is a sink on the range side of the island which serves as the main prep area, conveniently located near the refrigerator and cooking surface. The apron sink is a secondary prep area when needed but functions daily as the clean-up sink.
Julie Williams Design There was existing oak flooring in the home and the kitchen flooring was patched in and finished to match existing, there is no stain name as this was a custom match.
Julie Williams Design The picture is taken standing in the family room, as it is open to the kitchen. There is a doorway, in front of the wine refrigerator on the back wall, that leads in to the formal dining room.
Julie Williams Design The perimeter cabinetry is Crystal Cabinetry in their paint color bisque. The island cabinetry is a custom color match of a blue color. Unfortunately, I have no information to provide you the color number or brand of this blue paint.
Hi beautiful work on this kitchen - I am very interested in the flooring too - Can you possibly tell me what type/brand/colour the flooring is? Thanks. »
Julie Williams Design We matched this clients existing flooring during this remodel, new flooring was patched in to match the existing. Thank you Eutree flooring for providing your guess. I do believe this was readily available, white oak 6" wide planks. Stained and finished on-site
Julie Williams Design The island pendants are manufactured by a company called Objet Insolite. They are the Venise Moyenne pendants, taffeta fumee shade, bronze patine finish.
Julie Williams Design I am sorry I do not have that information in our file and I cannot remember it for the life of me. If I do, I will post the answer.
Dimensions - Could you share the dimensions of this kitchen - I'm interested in the width/length of the two counters, island and the clearance around the island? »
