Artisan Kitchens LLC I provided the detailed drawings and they were then made by a local cabinetmaker specifically for this project.

Artisan Kitchens LLC Hi,

The dog bone shapes are actually cutouts, not handles, and the labels were engraved in the drawerheads (the engraved areas were then painted a slightly darker shade of blue to highlight the letters).

So - it was all done right in the wood itself, nothing is surface applied.

hkoplitz This is genius and my dog's deserve this!

Holly Bruinette i love this

Artisan Kitchens LLC The pendants are from Schoolhouse Electric: http://www.schoolhouseelectric.com/lighting-and-hardware/fixtures/pendant/rhondes-4.html with this company you purchase the fixture and the shade separately so the shade shown here is different from the above link. The finish here is polished nickel.

Artisan Kitchens LLC At the beginning of the project there were 3 dogs, during the remodel one of them died (not related to the construction!) and it ended up with the 2 outer bowls being used for food and the central one for water.

Of course you can tailor the design to however many bowls you need.

Vanetta Jones Great idea!

Artisan Kitchens LLC I can't help you with technical questions regarding saving pictures to your ideabooks. That's something you'd have to ask the Houzz folks.

And I'm sorry, but I don't understand the rest of your question either!

marthachavira What u can do is click on the share button then select share by email. Send yourself the link. Then in your email click on the link it will take you to the pic and then click on the pic and select save image and it should go to your camera roll. This is of course if you have an iPhone or iPad. Not sure if it will work on an android since I don't have one.

Good luck.

PoshHaus Very cute!

kerrydoll Love this idea - so practical.

mickrome Thank you! And adding glass door cabinets is a great idea. I was planning on replacing the wider ones with double thinner ones to give the appearance of being "taller". This will help in not having to find doors that exactly match the others.

pam112251 LOVE the ceiling!

Artisan Kitchens LLC In the kitchen above, the surface around the dog dishes is the same lacquer that is on the rest of the cabinetry. On a subsequent project I added a new feature - stainless steel around the bowls to protect the surface better.

The picture below shows it in detail. This setup is actually for a dog, but don't you love how the Maine Coon cat photobombed himself in?

Artisan Kitchens LLC It's hard to say without seeing the space, but you can also do a tin ceiling in white, which would give you the beautiful texture while still keeping it light.

loopyludo Thank you very much! Silly me ... I clean forgot the tin ceiling could be white!

Artisan Kitchens LLC On the island, yes. This particular one is pre-sealed.
The remaining countertops are soapstone.

lhahn916 I think it is a step stool?

Artisan Kitchens LLC The words are actually engraved into the drawer fronts, then were painted a slightly darker color to highlight them.

But you certainly can get a similar effect by just painting the words on :-)

kdip66 Thanks for your help.

grif97 Dog bowls, tin ceiling

hrains Where can you get the end like that for the dog bowls?

Artisan Kitchens LLC The room is about 13' wide by at least 22' long. The end where the photographer is standing (not shown) has an eating banquette and desk area, so it's a pretty big room, one long rectangle.

Patti perfect:) as it stands now the kitchen in the plans are 15 wide x 23 long of course this is always subject to change:)

lamccall To Artisan Kitchens - I posted the question about the width of the unit earlier, and we are actually executing on this for our island in a new house we are building. Ours won't be quite as nice, but the idea is amazing and I thank you for posting it. i would have never thought of it!

Artisan Kitchens LLC I am so glad I could be the inspiration to a good solution for your home. Good luck with your project, and you've got some lucky dogs :-)

Artisan Kitchens LLC This is a SubZero Pro 48 with glass door:

It's a beautiful fridge!

The Shabby Nest Valspar's Mount Saint Anne is a similar color.

Artisan Kitchens LLC This particular top has been sealed with a special sealer, so it needs to be treated somewhat carefully - no cutting on it! The sealer makes it more resistant to water, which is important because of the sink.

You can also leave butcherblock unsealed, in which case it can be oiled with mineral oil to deepen the color and add a small amount of resistance to water and other liquids, but it will never be completely impervious to staining. Butcherblock can be sanded down to repair scratches and scars.

Some people like the patina that comes with usage and wear. If you don't, and prefer a material that always looks pristine, this may not be the surface material for you.

misterhoyle You just need a float valve like you would use in a toilet or a pond or a fountain and then a gravity feed like the two part dog water dishes. That is where my imagination ends and the how to sanitize issue comes in. A good plumber is your best bet. Sorry, but I can't see this as a DIY project.

abiddle Google "Nelson waterers". They've used this idea for horses and cattle for many years, and recently added a dog waterer to their products. We have horses and the waterers have lasted over 10 years outdoors. The stainless steel bowls are under a lipped cover that releases easily for cleaning. I haven't seen the dog waterers in action, but we rinse the hose bowls daily - so I can say it is easy.

migrater I realized it after I posted the question and I love the bowls and the bone shaped handles because I have two small yorkies what a great and wonderful idea

Artisan Kitchens LLC Yes, two food dishes and a water bowl in the center.

Artisan Kitchens LLC The material for this ceiling comes in big stamped-metal panels (usually 24" square) that are applied with glue or nails. Some companies even make them for use in standard dropped ceilings. Try this website: http://www.americantinceilings.com/pattern/?gclid=CIOKr6-o7q0CFQnd4AodmlJ97Q for more info.

bigbren05 have you tried Etsy?

Artisan Kitchens LLC These aren't actually pulls....they're cutouts in the drawerhead itself.
So technically you could make them any shape you want!

Artisan Kitchens LLC These are from Schoolhouse Electric: http://www.schoolhouseelectric.com/lighting-and-hardware.html

You will have to search through to find that exact pendant, they sell the bases and the shades separately.

Thanks for asking!

Artisan Kitchens LLC That is a SubZero - model is the Pro 48 with glass door.

Hope that is helpful, thanks for the inquiry.

Artisan Kitchens LLC Hi,

These are wide-plank hard pine floors, and yes, they're 8" wide.
Unfortunately the stain color was a custom mix so I can't give you an exact name, but it was made from a composite of Minwax colors.

Hope that's helpful to you, good luck with your project!

Paul Anater That is a long grain wood top. It looks like what's commonly called Rock Maple and it's made by firms such as John Boos. http://www.johnboos.com/

Patti its a big project..new construction. will be on a slab one story-an age in place home:) so i needed something cost effective, durable for Belgian Tervurens :)

bmarie2012 They have a ceramic tile now that looks like hardwood floors and comes in a ton of variations. We have three huskies and will be using that for the floors in our new house.
