kdjess I have not finished my kitchen - but my living room is the same color-Useful Gray. This photo my walls look more tan than walls actually are, which is more of a gray. My lighting is affecting the color on the walls. You can go to HD and or Lowes and they will match colors that Sherman Williams (or any other paint store has). They need the no. and color, and maker-swatch book helps too. You can buy little sample jars for about 3.00 each and try them out on your walls to be sure you get what you want. If you get Behr paint the color will be darker than other makers. I will try to attach a photo.
nmadias9808 the island looks to be 10 or 12ft long.room length prob 18 or 20 ft. Stone company posted pic but can really only answer marble question not design element question.Amazing kitchen.
what material are on the counter tops? - I really like this counter tops but not sure if it is marble or granite, ceasarstone, or some other type of material. I am building a new home and would like to use this combination in my new kitchen. Thank you »
Venetian Stone Works The countertops are Calacatta Super Extra Marble and Pierre Brun Limestone.... Any other question please contact Venetian Stone Gallery at 949.261.0146
cmmrealdeal The island looks like red natural Birch with some kind of a glaze over it. Can you clarify what kind of Wood the Island is, and what color glaze or finish is applied on the island? Thank you! It is so lovely I want to see if my cabinets could have a glaze applied.
Countertop durability - Can anyone comment on the durability of the limestone countertop. I want to use this same color but I am concerned about stains in a busy kitchen. Any comments will be appreciated. »
La Pietra Marble, Inc. If you are using marble or limestone and you want it to always look new, there will take a little bit of work but it's not the end of the world. First start by asking your stone to be sealed with stone proof from Dry treat, in my opinion its the best sealer out there. Second etch marks will happen but they can be fixed with a simple 600 sand paper, using it in a circular motion will refinish the stone and get rid of the etch mark. If you prefer you can get that done by a professional once every five years is a good time. Stay away from azul lagos limestone, it will react with water creating efflorescence. Try to use a limestone like pietra del cardoso or jerusalem grey. If you are looking for a limestone look but not the maintenance I would also recommend some of the Caeserstone colors. Also a honed super white quartzite can look stunning with much less maintenance.
Laura I agree with Fabio - We have the super white quartzite in a showroom display and often clients are drawn to it as it resembles marble without all the maintenance. Beautiful stone in the honed finish!!

carazy1 I have used seagrass limestone in my house and I my paint is similar, bur hard to tell... our color is Ben Moore Urban Sophisticate. Give it a try? I love it!! This kitchen my be lighter, and I love it... wish someone would share the color.
ram70 I have a kitchen island that needs a countertop that is 127" x 46". Do you have oversized slabs of calacatta statuario or extra, or do you know of somewhere that might stock that? Most slabs I have seen are only at most 120" and I heard that extra length is even needed to do the mitred edge. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
Anne DeCocco I see lots of this industrial pendant look among lighting vendors. A good one to check out is Hudson Valley Lighting. Their Massena model is nice.
