Classic White Perfectly Balanced by Creams and Blues
http://www.emmadelon.com

White cabinetry is always classic and this beautiful remodel completed in Durham is no exception. The hardwood floors run throughout the downstairs, tying the formal dining room, breakfast room, and living room all together. The soft cream walls offset the Blue Pearl granite countertops and white cabinets, making the space both inviting and elegant. Double islands allow guests to enjoy a nice glass of wine and a seat right in the kitchen while allowing the homeowners their own prep-island at the same time. The homeowners requested a kitchen built for entertaining for family and friends and this kitchen does not disappoint.

What is the name of the countertop? - Thanks. »
· Comment · 5 weeks ago
emma delon The countertop is granite and is called Blue Pearl. Blue Pearl granite slabs can be found in more gray and more blue versions depending on your needs. Thanks for asking!

emma delon We purchased the tile from Best Tile here in Durham. We used White Venatino 3" x 6" (approximately) Honed Marble for the field tile with a combination of Vista ice Blend Harlequin Mosaic tile, Bellevue Crown Evening Sky 2.5" x 8" (approximately), and Bellevue Dome Evening Sky 3/4" x 8" (approximately) for the accents. Thanks!

Lights are pretty. Who is the manufacturer, please? »
· · Comment · 10 months ago
emma delon Thanks so much for your question! They came from Kichler. They have been discontinued since then but there is a possibility they might still have some in stock or that your local lighting store might have some. The model number is 3447-AP (antique pewter). Thanks again!
