Clever use of windows in backsplash to admit light but maintain privacy. The window behind the gas cooktop is inoperable and is both boxed out and surrounded by tile to abide by building codes.

Is the stove vent custom made? If not, where did you buy it from? Thanks. »

Artisan Kitchens LLC I assume you are talking about the hood?

This style of hood is offered by many manufacturers, including Best, Vent-A-Hood, XO, Viking, Wolf, and more. Dimensions will vary by manufacturer so if you need a specific size (height) you might need to look at several. Also be aware of how they're vented; this particular one goes straight out the back but some only have outlets on the top, which obviously would not have worked in this case!

window in front of range - I want to place a range in front of window. Can I modify and existing window or will I need to replace window »
· · Comment · 4 months ago
Artisan Kitchens LLC As I explained in the original picture I posted of this kitchen, something like this has to be done very carefully in order to comply with code.

This window is boxed out (hard to see in picture) to keep any flammable surfaces appropriate distance away from the cooktop; the window 'casing' is actually ceramic tile; the bottom of the cabinet is lined with stainless steel; the window mullions are on the exterior of the glass only; and all manufacturer's specifications were followed to the letter.

I'd be very careful and make sure to check with your building inspector before going ahead and trying something like this, especially in a retrofit. It could be very costly to rectify.

racineafs I'm answering my own question, because I just noticed that you can click on the little tags in the photo! The rugs are: Claire Murray Official Buttons Runners

Artisan Kitchens LLC You're correct! And the homeowner has since added a long runner against the far wall to pull it all together. It looks great!

What is the backsplash material/source? Wood? - I've been considering wood beaded board but can't find a quality look for this application. »
· Comment · 7 months ago
Artisan Kitchens LLC The backsplash is a combination of wood and tile! The center areas are solid wood beadboard and the 'trim' around the windows is a large tile that is shaped like trim molding. In fact, you can find tile that looks like beadboard, which would be very easy to care for but would only work in certain applications. Quemere International is the company who made the trim pieces here and I think they make beadboard pieces too.

Elizabeth Jacobsen_Snead This is exactly what I wanted my architect to design. Are all state building codes the same and where do we find what the code is? Thank you.

Artisan Kitchens LLC Most states follow the International Code Council (ICC) regulations with specific amendments made by individual states; most are updated every few years. If you are working with an architect they will know the requirements.

What color are the kitchen cabinets and what color is the countertop? »
· Comment · 15 months ago
Artisan Kitchens LLC The countertops are soapstone, oiled, so they appear as a soft black (with veining). The cabinet color is the equivalent to Benjamin Moore #925, which is a lovely soft white. All trim was painted to match.

If I am planning on installing soapstone countertops, what do I need to know? »

Shannon Ggem ASID- Ggem Design Co LLC I have soapstone counters and I left them completely un-oiled. I love the washed out look! I did sand then a few times in the first few weeks- we were finishing up the kitchen install and I kept nicking and scratching them. It worked just fine, but you must reduce grit while sanding. Just like wood.

I haven't done it since, I wanted the patina! DId you ever install soapstone after all, CoffeeLover?

Gary Porter It has a reputation as difficult to maintain, but I've never heard a complaint from anyone who has them. They will certainly never go out of style.

Imagine stovetop as sink and layout similar to Martens. Note island seats 2. Bookcase could work against half-wall above stairs. Example of shaker panel with interesting detail. Don't like island base would rather have gap less base.
