Granite Grannies Your local stone fabricator should be able to find many different marbles for you to choose from.

sbriglio Do you know color of grout

decoratedlawyer White is the countertop stone?

Wow Great Place That looks like it could be Carrera marble, or Bianca Joia marble. ALWAYS choose your slabs, as marble (like granite) has a ton of variation, and if you want something with lots of grain (or very little grain), then slab selection will be critical.

Bradley Allen Interiors Dated products really depend on the product and the style of the home. Chrome and brushed nickel will always be appropriate in Craftsman, Cape Cod, and farm style homes. Antique brass will always look nice in Victorian style homes. What makes the difference...the quality of the item.

ShowHouse home & garden I agree with BAI. Chrome or polished nickel are timeless choices in Victorian farm houses as well. If the home is antebellum plantation home, the brass would be a more appropriate choice. Let they house be your guide.

bepsf Yep - That's definitely an Oak floor with a dark stain

henry123 what is the thickness of the floor boards please?

mousemaker i forgot to mention that we have a Lazy Susan in a corner. it can hold a lot of heavy things and i can't believe howm uch i was able to put in there!!!
good luck on your remodel!!!

bepsf Absolutely love drawers - no kneeling on the floor to find something in the back of the cupboard...
...and IMO, preferable to cabinets w/ sliding shelves: Opening a drawer is a single action as opposed to two when opening doors, then sliding a shelf out.

dagmarcharlton Hi,
I think it's Calacotta ora. Soft and easily stained (honed or vintage finish best) - but gorgeous.

lauriwb Hi there,
What kind of floors can I do with marble counter tops other than wood?

This website has been so helpful to me with figuring out what I want. I also thought about the dark island, but decided (after seeing one on here), that I didn't like the dark and dark together. I do like dark island, but with same marble countertop everywhere. Does that make sense? So the way I ended up with deciding white everywhere was that i wanted marble, but wanted a more practical material on my island so that i could work off it and not worry. When I saw the picture on here (you commented on it too) the one with the black marble island top, i loved it and decided to do something similar to that. I have three boys and do worry about the white and keeping it clean. I have trained them to be careful! For the backsplash, i decided not to tile. I loved te marble so much (and couldn't decide on any tile) that I had a 5 inch piece made of it with the same special ogee edging to use as the backsplash. I will paint above to bring in some color. I took the same marble and made borders for under my hood and put a basket weave inside. My husband did t want everything sterile and white so that is how i came up with my idea. Painters are starting today with the inside of my house. Will see how it all comes out.

Cari Mock How exciting! It sounds awesome! I have the same concerns about the dark/dark island. I almost wish our counter colors were swapped so I could paint light on the cabinets and dark on the island. There are way too many choices. I've got three kids too. Please email me pictures. I would love to see your kitchen. cari.phil@att.net Thank you!!

leehudd Where did you get the chandelier?

They look like they are Roman shades behind a white valance.
