Elegant Gourmet Kitchen
http://www.eminentid.com

When the family of five moved into this lakeside home on Lake Minnetonka, a gourmet kitchen was in order. Their interior designer, Brandi Hagen of Eminent Interior Design transformed the all –white room by melding a traditional tile backsplash, beautifully light-stained maple floors, a bead-board ceiling with a contemporary black and white color scheme. The original white upper cabinets remain light and airy in contrast to the elegant, black lower cabinets and appliances. The tile backsplash and center-island granite features incorporate all colors to unify the interior designed space.

What are the colors of the cabinets? We have similar countertops and are looking to paint our cabinets »
· Comment · 3 months ago
Eminent Interior Design Hello. The contrast between the creamy white and the graphite colored cabinets really amp up the feel of this kitchen. The graphite color is Benjamin Moore 1596 Nightfall and the creamy white is OC-17. Thank you for your question.

Island Counter - How long is the island counter and what's the name of the granite? »
· Comment · 4 months ago
Eminent Interior Design Hello. Our spec for the granite is Aran Cream, however it is known by other names as well. There are several granites that are similar. It is best to view slabs at the granite supply showroom. There can be movement, veining, sparkles that are not visible until you see the slab or remnant up close and personal with the finishes of your home. The island length is 9' 0". Thank you for your question.

I love the patterned window valance. Where could I get that? »

Eminent Interior Design Hello. The valance was custom made at my local workroom with fabric and trimmings that I resourced. You may find something similar at a local fabric store that feature designer fabrics. Thank you for your question!

What is the ceiling height in this room? »
· Comment · 7 months ago
Eminent Interior Design Hello. The ceiling height for this room is 8' 0". The beadboard detail on the ceiling adds interest but doesn't make the ceiling feel lower in the process. Thank you for your question!

Backsplash - I love the design of the tiles on the backsplash. It goes so perfect with contrasting the cabinets and the back counter top. Can you please tell me what tiles you used and where to get them? So nice!!! »
· Comment · 10 months ago
Eminent Interior Design Hello,
This backsplash is one of my favorites! It is a mosaic blend of Crema Marfil, Thassos and China black stone material. It is from a company called Artistic Tile. They have "standard designs" but they will also custom create a mosaic. Thank you for your question!

Artistic Tile The backsplash is Crema Marfil Ovale Polished Stone Mosaic from the Musee collection.

Stained Maple Floors look terrific! - Were these floors finished in the home or were they pre-finished? Would you be so kind to share the name of the stain? The stain looks so even which is difficult with Maple. »
