Modern Craft Construction, LLC Hey there. I always integrate my back splash plugs/switches/ and under counter lighting into the bottom of my upper cabinets. Shifting all of this into the underside of the cabinetry allows the back splash to really show without any interruptions. Please do not hesitate to write if you have any further questions.

Modern Craft Construction, LLC I have used concrete tops in at least fifteen projects in the past. All of my customer’s absolutely love them. The only issue I have ever experienced with staining was due to hot grease splatter from an electric griddle. Rumor has it that red wine will also take a toll on concrete tops but I have never come across that one. I will also say that water spotting will occur as a glass sits and condensates on the concrete tops for an extended period of time; however it goes away as soon as the water dries completely. I use a sealer called Iron clad on all of my pour in place countertops. Should you decide to use concrete tops it might behoove you to ask some of the local contractors about pour in place tops vs. off site poured tops. They both have advantages and disadvantages. If you’re not able to get the information you need please feel free to give me a shout at 214-477-7443.

mumzee Thank you so much Modern Craft Construction!

Modern Craft Construction, LLC I am sorry but we no longer have a point of communication with this property as it has sold to new clients. The clients I designed the home for do not remeber the exact color.

lauriebtown Those tiles definately came from Flor, I remember seeing them. I believe that print has since been discontinued but they have some incredible patterns that would look great as a kitchen runner. For a nominal fee, they will also cut tiles in half so you can make a border out of a different color/print. I did a solid green in the kitchen with a yellow printed 1/2 tile border. It's a ton of fun creating the designs too and when you get tired of it, switch it around, put them in a different room, get a new border, etc. Here is a picture of mine. Depending upon which tile you pick, some will show the outline of the tile more then others, this didn't bother me at all though. Oops, think i can't add a photo on an edit, will add it below in new answer.

Modern Craft Construction, LLC These are poured in place concrete tops. I left them natural in color and applied several coats of Iron Clad Concrete sealer. Concrete tops offer wonderful flexibility in regards to long lengths, turning corners, etc without unsightly seams. I have used concrete tops on several of my project and all of my customers love them.
