Susan Serra, CKD It's a very dark metal, not quite black. I believe they may be from Top Knobs.

terwatina Dear Susan, thank you. I went on the Sonoma Tilemakers' website and found some lovely tiles in their "Sonoma Reserve" collection, however I did not see this particular grapevine pattern.

Question about the hood or another like it - I am looking for a white hood similar to this to fit in a new house we are building. It is a white country kitchen. Can you point me in the right direction »
· Comment · 13 months ago
Susan Serra, CKD If you have a cabinet maker, you could purchase something like one of these and have the cabinet maker create the hood. http://www.shopenkebolldesigns.com/premier/fascias.html Otherwise, explore different cabinet manufacturers' hood designs.

Can I pop out wood and replace with glass for kitchen cabinets which I already have. - Who are the kitchen cabinets by? I have very similar cabinets (all wood) and I want to replace with glass like the one's shown here. I cannot find anyone who does that. thank you »
· Comment · 14 months ago
Susan Serra, CKD The cabinets are by Quality Custom Cabinetry and it's doubtful that you'd find someone to attempt to dismantle the joinery of the door frames in order to remove the glass. Risky business!

Susan Serra, CKD Sorry, no information is available on the lighting. I looked at a few places and have not found anything like it, but it does not look like such an unusual style. Just look and I think you will find a similar style.

What is the color of the granite countertops? They are beautiful and I would like to install a similar (or same) color in my kitchen. Thanks! »
· Comment · 16 months ago
Susan Serra, CKD At the time, they were called St. Cecilia granite, but I am sure this material is long gone or that the grain and color would be different if it is available, but that is the name.

What color are the cabinets, wall and trim? It is lovely together. »
· Comment · 22 months ago
Susan Serra, CKD Thank you! Oh, the finish of the cabinetry is called Buttermilk. I don't remember the color of the wall but the story behind the trim color is interesting. Due to various colors of greens and other colors, the trim colors was a big question for the interior designer and the client. Ultimately, I chose this color which is a blend of several colors in the space and just works beautifully. Thanks for asking!

Hi Susan, I love, love, LOVE this kitchen! I wondered how high the ceiling is in this design? Would this style hood work within the framework of an 8' ceiling? Thanks so much! Zena »
· Comment · 23 months ago
Susan Serra, CKD Hello, I think the ceiling was somewhere around 9' tall, but if I remember correctly, it could have been closer to 8 1/2'. The shorter the ceiling, the shorter/wider/squatter the hood will look, which is not necessarily a negative, just something to be aware of. Thank you for the kind words.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Lisa Frederick to So Your Style Is: French Country
Style Secret: Textural SurfacesNo stainless steel or minimalist tile here — French country surfaces call for visual depth and wear their imperfections proudly. Cloak the walls in plaster, stucco, stone, or a blend of all three throughout the house. When it's applied with a practiced hand, a thick layer of drywall mud can be a less expensive solution to these pricier materials. If you choose simply to paint the walls, consider a glaze or other treatment that will keep them from feeling flat. For the floors, slate and limestone, natural wood and tumbled earthen tile all strike the right notes.New-world chic: The range hood in this kitchen is covered in tiny mosaic tiles — a riff on convention, but it works because it approximates the rough look of a more traditional French country surface. The raised detailing on the backsplash enhances the sense of dimension.

modern french kitchen
added by andersonlyn to My house (2 weeks ago)
In a style that's intended to reflect longevity and tradition, spanking-new furnishings and accents stick out. Instead, French country calls for a little rust and dust. Painted pieces should feel distressed, as if they've withstood years of wear and use. Bypass shiny metals in favor of wrought iron, burnished bronze or pewter, preferably with a few dings and scuffs. You can even get away with a slightly frayed coverlet or a threadbare spot on a pillow. New-world chic: This inviting seating vignette feels as though there's a story behind every piece in it — it's like the most stylish collection of hand-me-downs possible. Even the new items whisper of age. The faded colors of the fabrics feel perfectly in step with the patina of the woods.
