Mobius Gildred Love the look ..very simple and green :D

ART2ARCH Kitchen cabinets should either go up to ceiling or have a soffit between cabinet & ceiling as top of cabinets tend to get very dusty, grimy, greasy, etc in a kitchen & is not very healthy. Crown moulding at soffit & ceiling intersection & no moulding at top of cabinets is you have a soffit.

Dee Lion What will it cost, to have a kitchen lyk this?

ART2ARCH A dropped ceiling or "soffit" between top of cabinet & ceiling is being used which may be gypsum board / painted or you can have the soffit faced with the same wood cabinet door panels (without knobs & hinges) to match the functional cabinets below. Soffits delete the top of cabinets which can become dusty, grimy, greasy in a kitchen which is not healthy when you have tall ceilings.

ellenconley2012 WHERE DID YOU GET THE BACKSPLASH?

Bill Fry Construction - Wm. H. Fry Const. Co. This question was answered earlier, sadly it is a discontinued tile from Walker Zanger. Hiring a great interior design firm, such as Fiorella Design, will help you acheive the look you desire. :) Rhoda

bmanicki What is the name of the floor tile that you used? I love it!

Dee Lion What are the rails on this stairs made of, nd hw durable can be?

bmanicki I am so glad you posted these! I am looking at a Sedna granite for my kitchen and I have dark cabinets. I couldn't find anything like these pics online to show the dark and dark look. Thank you! I have my slabs on hold and am going to definitely move forward.

NAADEEM Khan you are so sweet

Brian R Kelley, the Ann Sacks line is nice, but the flannel crackle really doesn't look very similar to the kitchen above (it's a darker color - and doesn't have the variation in tone). I do think the "ming crackle" is a closer comparison. What do you think?

Fiorella Design this is a 2x6

ellenwms What is the next closest tile and color to approximate this look?

Bill Fry Construction - Wm. H. Fry Const. Co. Your best bet is to hire a savvy interior designer who will not only find you something from either the manufacturer of this tile or from a different manufacturer, but who will make sure that your dream backsplash works beautifully with everything else in your kitchen like Fiorella Design has done here. :) Rhoda

Jan Drobny I like real comments even if they are negative as i am trying to decide to leave in my current soffit and just install new 30" ones or take it out and leave that 7" of empty space which isn't good for much or put in 36" cabinets or put in 24" and 12" cabinets.???

ART2ARCH Should be cabinets with crown moulding & no soffit OR cabinet with no crown moulding with a soffit with crown moulding at ceiling... Not both.

Walker Zanger sduerfeldt, Thank you for your question. The tile on the backsplash in this kitchen is from Walker Zanger and it is part of our Mizu collection. The material is discontinued, but there are still stock options available. This particular color is the Pebble color. If you would like to e-mail me directly, I can give you some information on what sizes are available and we'll see if we can find something that will work. You can also visit the Walker Zanger Charlotte houzz page for photos of this same material in a 4x4 installed with a brick joint. It looks great. Please e-mail me (Shanna) at shash@walkerzanger.com and I'll be happy to help.
Thank you!!

Fiorano Tile Showrooms sduerfeldt. Walker Zanger is a great source, you should be able to find a good alternative there.

Renaissance Kitchen and Home Great points Bill,
Most of the porcelain or cast iron sinks will have a slight degree of irregularity to them which occurs in the curing process. Depending on the manufacturer or model, the cabinetry may need to have an additional front frame or a scribe-able section of the cabinetry to allow for this installation. I would also agree that you show carefully look at the specifications guide provided with the sink and also suggest you physically own the sink and take accurate measurements before purchasing or modifying and cabinetry.

Here is an example of an apron sink in framless cabinetry with an scribed overlay panel attached around the sink front.
Hope this helps

skykek Thanks a lot, guys. Your info is useful

michigammemom If you click on the green "More Info" area you can see additional views of this project by Fiorella Design.
Here is a view of a bath in the residence.

Island Soapstone Neither honed black granite or soapstone would stain - they are both too dense to absorb anything. Marble does not necessarily stain, but etching is an issue. Marble and soapstone, both of which are softer and need to be honed, will develop a patina over time, and that is fine too.

Expecting a brand new looking, sparkly bright kitchen is a very American trait :) The Europeans are way more relaxed about the work surfaces, allowing for a softer, more welcoming appearance with tops that show "life marks".

This sink brings so much character into the kitchen, it would be hard to put a price tag on that; by comparison a cheap drop-in sink would look awful in this beautiful kitchen..

solight Hi, I am also interested in the type of floors. What is it and what's the brand? Looking forward to hear from you soon.

Renaissance Kitchen and Home Hi solight,
I did a little research on the material shown and I just brought in a very similar if not an exact matching material to my showroom. It is manufactured by Mohawk Industries and it is from their Somerville Collection. Try looking at the Dark Chocolate Maple 5"wide selection. It also comes in a few more wood species and colors. Their website is www.mohawkflooring.com.

Hope this helps

Stamford marble and tile You have to be vigilant about sealing up front many coats until the stone will not absorb any more sealer. You also have to reseal every year or so depending on usage.

Kivi You have to love the idea of "patina" because keeping it perfect like new is not realistic.

smykisha I'm adding a second bar on the other side of my middle island. There aren't any appliances on that side of the island or bar - could I bring it in closer to make it easier to move back and forth between them?

karenmommy thanks you're prob. right but i saw what a marble site called "double bullnose" and it was curved at both top and bottom but pretty straight inbetween. so a rounded straight edge really. I will look at it in a showroom to be sure. would a modern kitchen have a "regular" edge - or squared vertical edge?

Renaissance Kitchen and Home You are correct,I would double check with the showroom again, some showrooms have their own specific names for their edge profiles.Depending on what you consider modern really is controlled by the other elements in the room. For example if all the cabinet doors have a simple or square edge and square details then I would suggest a square edge. If your kitchen has a lot of curved elements than I would suggest you do a rounded edge profile. In certain projects we have done the client wants the countertops to be the star of the show, so we would have them fabricated with a very decorative edge. But if the kitchen has a lot of other elements going on then I would suggest that the counter edge treatment be more subdued not to complete with everything else.

Hope this helps.

24680 The color of the floor is gorgeous. I just currently have maple floors (aged to a more yellow color) and want to do a kitchen with white cabinets, white marble countertops, and a similar backsplash to the photo, but don't know if my current floor would work with it..

Emma James Inspired Design, LLC @24680 If you have to keep your floor, i'd say the island could be a different color as a foil to all the white. You could pick up the vein color in the marble...a slate blue would look nice.

Denise Storm Any other ideas on where to find these tiles? I have looked at all of the above suggestions and don't see it? I would love some help if anyone knows.

Fireclay Tile Hi Denise. Fireclay Tile here. Where are you located? We may have a dealer near you we can point you too.

BonTon tile I can make you that tile check us out at www.bontondesigns.com I just finished an order like this

mjcoopersb Thank you for offering. I have decided to use dark green granite instead of marble.

rtk123 My now two month old kitchen has honed carrara marble counter tops with matching subway tile back splash. All the negative are true, but I still love it. We are a small family and fairly compulsive about keeping neat, but lemon squirts everywhere. If you clean up quickly, it will keep the etching to a minimum. There are also kits available with which to do repairs. But, here's the thing about marble. If you are patient and don't obsess about keeping things pristine, over time it will patina and be beautiful. I went to Eataly in NYC last week and saw the marble counter tops and floors in the vicinity of the bakery. They had such a beautiful patina on them. So now, I'm not as upset as I was when I noticed that first lemon juice etch. But again, it's all personal.

rtk123 Here are a couple of images. Nothing grand, just a galley kitchen in a NYC apartment.

Fiorella Design The island is a black painted finish.

allismith02 Is it a special black color? I just got the Benjamin Moore paints and of course there are like 100 blacks! Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Fiorella Design They are custom but the door is a standard "Shaker" style.

Fiorella Design Hi,
I'm sorry I don't work in the Fresno area. It's really hard to budget not knowing what all would be new and how much plumbing, electrical, etc that you'd need done...The backsplash tile was about $30 a sf, Carrara Marble is about $15 sf, New cabinets can really vary if they are custom or big box...You should have a designer draw something up and then get it priced through 3 contractors.

Fiorella Design Oh, and this kitchen was probably about $80-100k but it's hard to know because we did work on the entire house...

Fiorella Design I believe it's Rohl...and Yes, I typically match them.

stefanie1215 I am thinking about a Moen Lindley faucet for my main sink in Spot Stainless, but need a smaller prep sink faucet to go with my Classic Prestige Franke sink. I'd love a pull down faucet but nothing as large at the Lindley faucet, since the faucet will be set to the right of the sink. In terms of matching, should I pick a smaller lower arc Moen faucet? To be honest, I'm not loving any of them really. Should I look into another manufacturer and risk not a perfect match? Appreciate any advice, thanks!

Fiorella Design pebble

bepsf Looks like Heath ceramic tile to me - They have the most beautiful glazes which can vary from piece to piece due to their handmade nature:

http://www.heathceramics.com/go/heath/tile/

Fiorella Design Not Heath. Walker Zanger Mizu. You have to call WZ it was going to be discontinued.

AMN If a Viking oven's big-honkin' red knobs look good in that kitchen, then I think SS handles on a Kitchen Aid or Electrolux (what we have) will look just fine. Any time you do SS, they're going to look somewhat industrial. Until they start making appliances with oil rubbed bronze finishes, I think we're all stuck with the somewhat utilitarian look of SS, white, and black (unless you integrate into cabinetry completely).

shvetaoak Thank you Feeney! Those pictures help a lot! That is a great idea. I will need to talk to the builder about it. Thanks for your input and ideas:)

Lisa First, congrads to you on the new kitchen in progress. To respond to your query (and I hope someone out there can truly help), I'm not an expert but since my family had a tile,marble&terrazzo business I do know how sensitive this an many gorgeous counter tops can be. Even with sealing them, the marble will still stain over time (esp. if used as a countertop). There are several websites that can offer assistance as a guide. Here's a link to the first site I pulled up to help give you a few comparisons: http://www.kitchendesignsremodeling.com/compare-counterthttp://forums.findstone.com/printer_friendly_posts.asp?TID=2491ops.html
or for some additional insight here's another:http://forums.findstone.com/printer_friendly_posts.asp?TID=2491
Its all a personal choice. Quartz is beautiful, but it comes with its demons as with any natural stone does. Though the family business was closed after the 3rd generation retired, I'm thinking that the epoxy sealers out there that are claimed to make siliastone/cesarstone more stain resistant are better than what my family was using 30 years ago. I'd make the sales person prove it by applying a torch and a hot oily pan & or just hot oil to the demo tile. If you're going to shell out thousands of dollars, surely they can handle a demo like this. Sellers with demo kitchen stations may be more willing to do this than others. Time to do some research for sure and good luck.

royaltyroy Marble has been used and enjoyed in kitchens by Europeans for thousands of years. The granite folks would like you to think that their product is superior. Not so. Unless you are an oink-oink pig (spill red wine, leave it there for a month) staining will happen so rarely that it shouldn't be a factor in the decision.
