A toaster and a roll of paper towels?

i don't know but I'd like to know also - very simple but perfect for my space as well.

ditto on the stools. Where can I get those?

Hello! We have similar stools here, available in a variety of colors and upholstery options: http://www.inmod.com/danbury-down-stool.html

I would be always very hesitant to put any kind of white marble into a kitchen, and i always told my clients so. Any light marble or Travertine, however well sealed, will show any kind of watermark, even from a glass of water, or a dish that comes straight out from the dishwasher. As a porous materials it is very easily staines by vinegar and wine.
There are white granites out there that might be an alternative, and Cambria brought out a manmade Quartz that is mimicking marble - not quite the real thing, but pretty good, and it saves the homeowner from a lot of aggrevation.
I occassionally put marble on a bathroom vanity, it doesn't seem to become such a huge issue as on an island, where you have light coming in from the side, which shows off any kind of stain.

Dupont offers a 15 year guarantee against stains on all marble and granite tops. You need to speak to your fabricator about it. And it is at an additional cost. However, in our opinion well worth it.

is this photo something different?

This is an interesting issue. I've never really thought about how the gray in that marble plays off the white of the cabinetry. The first whites I always try are B1 and B2, which means a drop of black (or 2 drops-B2) in a white base. I love that very pure, clean white. But often for real contemporary clients, I use Ben Moore's Alabaster/OC-129. It's the magic of color theory--I can't really explain why that's a more contemporary, less traditional white, but it is. What works so well in the kitchen above is the continuity of the color range. The white, the marble, the stainless, the chrome, the counter--they all coordinate nicely. The the dark brown on the floor and in the stools grounds them warmly. I love brown and black together. As Jerry Maguire would say, they complete each other.

These look very similar to Crate and Barrel's Folio Chocolate barstools:

Hello! Unfortunately we do not know where these stools are from. There was a separate interior designer on this project.

Thank you for your response!
