Kitchen Transformation
http://www.smithandvansant.com/

This kitchen was formerly a dark paneled, cluttered, divided space with little natural light. By eliminating partitions and creating an open floorplan, as well as adding modern windows with traditional detailing, providing lovingly detailed built-ins for the clients extensive collection of beautiful dishes, and lightening up the color palette we were able to create a rather miraculous transformation.

Where to buy the pendant lights with the clear shades? - Do you know the manufacturer or retail establishment? »
· Comment · 8 months ago
Smith & Vansant Architects PC Hello,
I believe those came from Conant Custom Brass and Light - you may need to contact them about the clear glass, as it may have been custom.
Hope that helps!

Are the cabinet hinges antique brass ? »

Smith & Vansant Architects PC Hello,
The ones below the sink are antique brass finish, but the ones on the glass doors on the upper part of the hutch to the left of this image are satin nickel finish.
Hope that helps!

Emily Hurley It's really hard to see from this angle, but I think it's the same. Looks like white marble to me. This might help:

Smith & Vansant Architects PC Hello,
These pendants are brass pendants with vintage glass originally from Conant Custom Brass in Vermont. I believe they are now called Conant Metal and Light.
Hope that helps!

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Another one of the client's collections included cabinet hardware. If you look closely around the kitchen, you'll see that there are different sets of knobs and pulls everywhere. These are fun small details that add big personality to the room and show just how long she was dreaming of this renovation. Floors: Locally salvaged wide plank pine
added by Beth Woodson and Kristy Harvey to Bedeck Your Furniture With New Knobs and Pulls
It's tempting to use knobs that match in the kitchen, but this client of Smith & Vansant Architects collected the knobs for this kitchen over 15 years. Like antique silver, some things are simply better when they have a touch of variety.
