Exquisite Kitchen Design Thanks for your question. The prep island is 36" x 108". The clean up island is 54" x 126". Space between the two is 42". Hope that helps!
finish on granite? - Is tidal white the same as River White? How do these look honed or leathered? I like the look of honed/leathered but getting advice that those finished not good on the River White..true or false? »
Exquisite Kitchen Design Claire, not sure. Some stones do look great honed...and others not. Best would be to get a sample to decide for yourself. All the best! Mikal
lauriefinally Thanks. The designer calls it Tidal White. I went to slab showroom today and found a granite called Blanco Montanha that looked similar. There seem to be several names for same granite. Then it is leathered or satin finished. Not glossy. I like it.
The client wanted an uninterrupted space to prepare family meals, hence the two islands. One is for prep and cooking, the other is for cleanup and eating. Flooring: white oak in mahogany finish; main kitchen counter: tidal white granite in leathered finish
Limited counter space can make prepping a group meal next to impossible. The owners of this Colorado kitchen decided to nip that problem in the bud by adding an extra island during their remodel. One island is for prep and cooking; the other is for cleanup and eating. Tell us: Do you have two islands? An extra table? Would you ever consider it?
9. Two Islands in ColoradoThis family of five wanted extra space so they could all hang out in the kitchen together. Two islands and two refrigerators divide the kitchen by activity — prep and cooking, cleanup and eating — so that the entire family can function seamlessly in the space.
