Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC Hi Herti,
Thanks for your interest. I think this space combined is quite a bit longer than your space. it's probably more like 9 meters total length. However it's sometimes possible to modify ideas to fit a particular space.
All the best,

lehead are the kitchen cabinets custom or manufactured?

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC Hi LeBeau,
The cabinets were custom made.

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC Thanks for your interest. I believe the boards were 2 1/4" plain sawn. The floor was unstained, just polyurethaned. I don't remember the brand of poly.

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC Thanks for your interest. I think it totally depends on the look you are after. There are so many blues, it's hard to recommend one without knowing more about your goal.
All the best,

chambers1589 Love the room divider as well. Are there book shelves on both sides of it or only the side facing the living room?

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC Thanks for your comment. Book shelves are on one side only!

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC Thanks for your interest. The island is 3'-6" away from the perimeter cabinets. The breakfast room table would be to the right of the photo...not in view. I guess it's about 10' away.

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC Thanks for your comment. If the room doesn't get much natural light, its best to paint it a color with a fair amount of pigment. It's completely counter intuitive, but small rooms are better with a bold color. What that color is depends on your taste of course. I always suggest people use the colors they like to wear, and usually look good in, for their home decor.
All the best,

wowhownice CabinetCoat by Inselx , owned by Benjamin Moore is a great urethane paint for cabinets. It does not require any primer or sanding over varnished cabinets. Just make sure the cabinets are very clean & free of any greasy residue. This paint is self-leveling and best applied with either a foam roller or foam brushes. 2 coats required with a mild sanding with a high count sandpaper between coats. Dries in 1 hour, can apply 2nd coat in 6 hrs, but best to wait 24 hrs. I painted cabinets 9 years ago & a banister 12 years ago, both look very professional with a hard finish similar to a factory applied finish. After all this time still look like new and washes well.

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC Thanks for your comment. Sounds interesting!

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC Thanks for your inquiry. The cabinets and trim are all Benjamin Moore White Dove.
All the best,

juanita007 could you tell me what the counters are? Great kitchen.

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC Thanks for your comment! The counters and backsplash are Kashmir White granite.
All the best,

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC Thanks for your interest. I don't remember exactly, I think it's about 8' wide.

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC Thanks for your interest. Actually this is a down draft hood. I think a hood is recommended for all ranges/cooktops. Maybe you want to have a down draft. They don't work quite as we'll as a standard hood. But it's a good solution for island stoves.

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC Hi Windy, I'm pretty sure this was a Thermador gas cooktop. But this renovation was done almost 15 years ago. So the model information wouldn't be very helpful to you. I'm pretty sure you can use any cooktop with a downdraft hood system...I think you purchase them separately. My advice would be to check with a local appliance distributor, to see what is available.
All the best,
Jennifer

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC Hi Anne,
Thanks for your interest. I'm sorry I don't understand your question.

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC Hi txgr, I don't remember the exact dimensions, and the drawings are now archived. I would suggest that proportion is more important than size. The dimensions that worked in this particual space may or may not be appropriate for your home. A design professional would be able to help you get the look right for your home.
All the best,

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC Hi byannone,

The cabinets and all of the trim are Benjamin Moore White Dove, semi gloss.

vandemeer1 thank you for this dream kitchen

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC You're welcome! How nice of you to say that.

CSS & Design Is the ceiling color also White Dove in a high gloss?

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC The ceiling is white dove, but the finish is semi gloss.

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC The ceiling was painted in Benjamin Moore white dove semi gloss, as was all of the trim. So the ceiling has a bit more shine and reflection than you normally see.

ashee02 Thank you! Beautiful

Blue Bridge Cabinetry and Design I would HIGHLY recommend some sort of ventilation. Even if, for some strange reason, your local/municipal building code allows you to get away without putting one in. Preferably, an Island overhead hood fan, or at least the (less efficient) popup downdraft ventilation system. Just be careful to select one that will work with your cooktop technology (ESPECIALLY) if it's a gas cooktop.

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC Larissa, Thanks for your nice comments. This cooktop has down draft ventilation. I believe the homeowner uses it regularly. I would not recommend installing a stove or cooktop without some kind of ventilation.

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC pwilhite, The handles are just the stainless stock handles that come with the Sub Zero refrigerator.

CoCoCo MJM, I know this isn't exactly the type of answer you're looking for, but we specialize in custom furniture and would love to work with you in designing a bar stool that emulates this, or is perhaps even better. Best of luck, and please dont hesitate to contact us.

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC MJM...after a little web brousing, I'm pretty sure the stools are from Shackleton Thomas www.shackletonthomas.com

talyawaldman Thanks so much!

iwantsonshine I'm thinking of ordering this type of floor very soon. Do you think that it is too light, or not enough contrast with the light cabinets? Thank you

blissaz Thank you for responding! This is so beautiful....

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC Thank you very much.

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC The kitchen is about 15' x 18'

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC We designed all of the cabinetry and millwork, and all was custom built by the contractor, Shaw Builders.

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC Also you might want to consider open shelves rather than upper cabinets. With open shelves you will still see the logs behind your dishes/glassware. It might be a way to keep that rustic feel.

saprst Thanks to both of you. I'll refine my search. The house is already pretty rustic so we might be ok with covering the logs in the kitchen but open shelving is a good idea. Maybe glass fronted cabinets or a combination. It will be an interesting challenge since the kitchen is quite small. Thanks again!

terriseay Honed is a dull finish, correct? Seems to be a pretty bright refection on the island, or can honed sometimes be shiny?

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC Thanks for your interest! Yes honed is a duller finish. You're right the surface does look shiny. It may be from the photographer's lights...or it may be that the granite is polished after all. Sorry, I don't really remember, this project was completed over 10 years ago.
All the best,
Jennifer

rkmahill beautiful

Emma Dally I love the colour of the floor. Is it oak?

Huestis Tucker Architects, LLC Thanks for your comment. The floor is actually maple with a clear finish.
