Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. These tiles were sources many years ago, it is probably best for you to source the tiles locally.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. We used a 3cm countertop. The standard backsplash is approx 17-18" in height.

gina89 Thank you. Is the black granite backsplash behind the range 4 or 6 inches?

Stoneshop Granite doesn't really have much of an issue with scratching, whether it has a honed or polished finish. You care for both finishes the same way. Clean it only with your granite cleaner and seal the countertops approximately once a year. Black granite is very hard, so it's practically indestructible.

Stunning work, Garrison Hullinger Interior Design! That ceiling is gorgeous!

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. We used semi-gloss paint for the cabinets.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Woodlawn Blue HC-147 by Benjamin Moore

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. One granite slab was used for the island.

Diane Wagner what kind of sink did you use?

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. The sink was a crushed granite sink that would fade into the countertop (color wise).

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. The island is approx 7' x 6'

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. We do not have records of the tile used.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. The lights over the table came from overstock.com

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. So exciting about your remodel Aubrey. Hope it all goes well and you have a wonderful space to enjoy when you're done. Thanks for your kind words about sharing our expertise and portfolio. Sometimes we don't have all the answers but we to help and houzz is such a great place to share.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Granite with all finishes is still susceptible of taking on stains (e.g. oils, etc)...you should speak with your fabricator to ensure you are getting the right granite and finish for your space.

Efros good

wilmette171 What is the name of the company?

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. I'm sorry I don't have the guy's name. I will look for it.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Approx 6,800

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Finally found some old files that have the original floor plan of the house before we moved around some pieces in the kitchen.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Thanks so much!!! Was a lot of fun pulling together the shopping event.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. The frig is out of the camera shot just to the left.

chrisallenhogs Thanks so much for your help! Do you think I could use a 3x6 white ceramic tile instead of porcelain and obtain the same look?? Also, did you use a marble trim piece to transition to the smaller tiles?? Thanks again. I really appreciate your feedback.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Sorry, the notices don't seem to be coming to us when there is a second comment or question. Yes, I think you could pull off the look with a 3x6 tile. And we used a matching liner piece.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Thanks for the great compliment...so wonderful that you took inspiration from this project. We do not have the specifics on the woven wood shades from Budget Blinds.

amybturner Unfortunately, the green tag closest to the countertop says mini Calcutta marble tile. It looks like honed granite to me but is possibly my untrained eye?

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. This photo has many, many green tags, maybe the size of your screen is punching them together. Here is the info from the green tag on the front corner of the island. Cambrian Black Granite
with antique finish

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. This is a custom stainless steel cover that was made for the home.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. I think you're right, there is only about 3" from front of counter to sink and then 4" or 5" from side to corner.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. The floors are white oak with a custom ebony stain.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Sorry for the delay, we had to go back into the archives of 2009 to find the dimensions on this room. The space is 17'9" x 19'3"

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. I finally found a plan as well.

Surface Brokers, LLC Based on looking. they are 42" uppers + Crown that is probably 4".

ajland Thanks Surface Brokers, I'm just learning about cabinet height and trying to make my unfortunate 8' ceiling look a little more custom in my kitchen. I wish I had gone 9' or 10', but sadly didnt even think about ceiling height when I bought my house.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Here are some images that were produced in laying out the kitchen box beams and then also during the process of building out the beams. They do not provide specific dimensions.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Did this help you Rob Brewer?

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. I would do a 3" to 4" crown so it feels like it has some substance. It might actually give the room some visual height.

ajland Thank you so much. I wanted to ask your advice since I really admire your work.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Thanks, look for the small green tags on the photo while browsing. On your ipad or mobile device you can click on the tag if using a computer you can click on the tag with your mouse.

missangel99 Doesn't show the ceiling color, just cabinets and trim.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Yes you can see the hinges from an angle. So glad this has been an inspiration for your home.

martipat Thanks so much. I don't even notice the hinges any longer. I get so many compliments on the black cambrian antiqued!

oleole Yes, I meant the same type of form or/and colour variations (not just stainless) as you've presented on the picture.
Thanks, maybe I really saw too little images on the site.
Can I ask what is the producer of the oven (on the right)? For Europe it's Smeg, Ilve - and Restart as the higher level of Ilve - something like that. The oven looks almost like Restart)

oleole Oh, sorry. I have read the comments for those kitchen. It's La Cornue. I thought the range was made by an American producer and I don't know the name.)

Alejandro Astiz to make the bread!

Alejandro Astiz to make the bread!

dotgrammy What make microwave oven is this?

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. I believe it was a Sharp product.

erikagreff It's amazing how varied subway tiles are in price! LOVE LOVE LOVE this kitchen.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. You are so right! Thanks so much.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Thanks so much. The mini-bricks behind the range are 1" x 5/8" size sold on sheets that are approx 12" x 12".

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. I believe the ceiling was right at 10' before the coffered ceiling was added.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. This is exactly the use of this eating island...I jokingly call it the feeding island...great place for the kids, keeping them close but yet out of the way. Good luck with your remodel.

villagepeople thanks for your reply. i am working myself in to a tizzy over this place!!!!!!!! if only my husband was handy! love your design - i'll keep wishing!

PoshHaus Stunning! Love the amount of space, and all of the functional space.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Thanks so much, it turned out lovely. We used a single-deep under-mount black granite sink.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. You can find this answer if you move your mouse over the photo and see the small green tags on the photo. Also if you read through the comments you'll see more details on this same question.

Sarah Walters how far is it over hanging from the cabinet doors?

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. I'm not sure of the exact measurement, this is all measured out after the cabinets are installed.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. On the photo you will see small green tags, there is a tag that answers your question. Good luck with the house build!

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. I know the stainless hood was custom for the kitchen but I do not have the information about the fan motor.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Click on the different green tags to see the highlighted pieces. The tag near the door to the living has the paint color for the walls. Woodlawn Blue HC-147 by Benjamin Moore

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. The countertops are cambrian black granite. The cabinets are painted.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Those were bought off of overstock.com

sarah_nc I bought mine through Circa Lighting. I have one in the dining room. Probably cheaper if you can find on overstock.com! See this link: http://www.circalighting.com/details.aspx?pid=568

drmrsiddiqui thanks, do u know cost of these cans including everything

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. I do not know the cost on the can lighting on this project.

kim thomas sorry didn't mean to insult it, the kitchen is so very like it must be a case of brilliant minds thinkiing alike. Your kitchen is so very beautiful that I may well copy it for my house in England

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. No insult Kim, but much inspiration was taken from that home for these home-owners.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. These are a woven bamboo shade without a lining.

Novare Renovation & Design I Love the shades too - they are discrete but give a sense of warmth

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. I am attaching the only other photo of kitchen cabinets. This photo is of the prep sink that is to the right (out of this shot).

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Ambergay where you able to see the other photos?

deborahaweisman what is an antique finish? Is that the same as "leathered" finish?

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Seems like different regions have different names for the stone finishes. If you search for antique finish on granite you might find close up photos that you can then compare to the 'leathered' finish and that might answer your question. Good luck.

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design The charm of this space, to me, is having all that light flooding in through the big windows. Add in white cabinets and dark countertops, interesting light fixtures, and it's a winner. Just decrease the scale of things and it can be yours. Take the parts that caught your eye and go for it, but on a smaller scale.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Each person is drawn to different components of the room. Take a look at this side area of the same kitchen and made it will help you in starting the process of shrinking this space down to a size you can have in your own home.

kdascan20 I'd try "honed" granite. They might recognize that term. If not, just explain or bring a picture;)

Eurocerob Donna ,

I would ask them to show you a sample of Nero Assoluto sandblasted with a color enhancer sealer on it .

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Thanks for your comments, this award winning home is a wonderful pride for the family living in it as well. We used 5" and 7" width oak flooring throughout the home. As for obtaining a dark stain on the oak floors like this home it is best to work with your contractor, whether selecting a prefinish product or a stain in place (like this project). There are a lot of steps to achieve this look and best discussed with a professional in your regional area...or you could end up like this family:

jobenauf What brand is the microwave?

jhuntercrna I don't get it?

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. This question was already asked by another member and answered by us, please review the other questions. Thanks

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. I am not aware of it being in a movie. We did take some inspiration from the movie Somethings Gotta Give for the kitchen finishes.

mchristi 3 -14'' seems a bit much for an 10x4 island. are you meaning 3 - 8" lights?

Brilliant! Lighting & Design Proper scale, proportion, and relationships is about much more than just the quantity of lights and size of the island.
Please consider the various ways the island will be used and the quality of light they require, ceiling height, overall room size, whether or not the room is open to other spaces, where else can the lights / island be seen from, relationship to other furniture / cabinetry / lighting in the space, etc. before making a decision.
IMO, just on the facts presented here so far, I'd go with 3 @ 14".

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. No glaze.

Mrs. B Hello, gorgeous kitchen! What color are the cabinets? Thanks!

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. I would look at Benjamin Moore Pigeon Grey for a beautiful grey.

aujcar I'm also interested in knowing the approximate dimensions of this island as I would like to put a good size sink and dishwasher on the shorter width of our planned island. Thanks!

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. The island is approx 9' x 8', we left 40" from the cabinets on the right and 42" on the other sides.

vickintx what is the color of the ceiling and molding?

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. We used Benjamin Moore's Decorators White on the cabinets and trim throughout most of the home. Navajo White OC-95 was used in the master suite of this same home.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. We found these lights on overstock.com

tlawdahl Thanks so much!

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. We are not able to access the archived information for you at this time.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Thank so much...we used Top Knobs for the hardware and it was an oiled bronze.

Sandra Alger, CID, Fresh Ideas by Sandy Great, send us some photos when you are finished. and have fun!!

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Don't forget to post photos.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. I'm sorry I no longer have the specifics on the faucet.

galleykitchen Hi. What do you mean by "took crown of the cabinets to 7'. I'm getting ready to order Dynasty by Omega cabinets and can't decide between (wall cabinet)1- 39"L x 36"H or 2- 27"butt door &13" x 36"H for a three door look. Shaker syle door with 2" crown. I have a galley kitchen. 36" wolf hood will be next to this wall cabinet. I will be removing soffit and after placement of 36"Height cabinets I will have about 21" to 22" (not 18") from granite to under wall cabinet (the hubby wants this space for a tall Vitamix blender about 20.5" ) Please tell me if this will look nice. I welcome all your suggestions. Thank you in advance. This is so stressful.

galleykitchen I forgot to mention. I have 120" wall space. What would look better...two door or (two separate cabinets 27"&13") three door look? Thanks again.

R. B. Hi Letitia! I took your advice and went for it. We had custom built our drawer microwave in the island. It looks and works great. We bought the Sharp brand, as it handle matched our refrigerator. It is very easy to clean. The open/close button works really well. My cup of coffee spills only if I manually open the drawer. That is typically when I am trying to rush and being impatient.

Letitia Holloway I am so glad you like it. If you need anything else, you can always e-mail me. I will help when I can. I hear from people all over the world and I am good w any new construction advice as well. Letitia@myersdesign.net

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. No, that is just for the kitchen, the eat-in area is an additional 9' in depth.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. It was 14' x 22'

mpnl What color are the cabinets painted? I love the color! Thank you!

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Thanks, we used Benjamin Moore's Decorators White on the cabinets and trim

Tonieann Not only do I like you style, I like your wit too... We live in the South of France and it is rather rural. Hence, the constant struggle to find classic, timeless yet beautifully constructed kitchens.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Houzz is a great place to get inspiration...don't give up...keep gathering ideas.

Here's a favorite blog entry...on white spaces
http://dwellerswithoutdecorators.blogspot.com/2010/11/all-white-apartment.html

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. This was a custom manufactured hood.

Jamie Florio that is a Wolf hood correct?

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Thanks so much Texie...so glad I got the 'love' tag!

Yes these are custom built for the client. We kept things really clean looking in the home. We had the cabinet shop make the doors for an inset look. We also opted to not have mullions on the cabinet doors since the transoms in the doorways would be enough visual appeal. Hope that helps!

texielevy Thanks so much. Meeting with contractor on Sunday. Will definitely be taking pictures of your kitchen with me.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Sorry, I never did actually answer your question. I would have made it into more of an L-shaped island so the kid's chairs could be lined up like an old soda fountain shop.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. The countertops are cambrian black granite...we then had an antiquing finish applied to the granite. Some of the fabrication shops call it 'leathering' as well. Check out this site for an explanation of leather granite finish: http://www.percocomarble.com/finishes.php

cheryl_foster Funny, I was just looking at this kitchen. Please tell me about the hardwood floor. Does your client like the leathered finish on the granite...any feedback? I'm going to get my granite for my island leathered as well and I'm curious about what it's like to live with.

Rebekah Zaveloff It's a bit far away so hard to tell, but it looks like a white 3x6 subway tile and a minibrick mosaic behind the range with a border around that.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. We did use a 3x6 subway brick tile and then used a mini-brick calcutta marble tile behind the range.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. We actually used Benjamin Moore Woodlawn Blue HC-147

darley I love the wall colors in this kitchen! Does Woodlawn Blue present more blue than green when applied? In this picture it looks like the most fabulous blue but the sample is more green.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. The finish is a custom mix to create the ebonized look.

annieknight Hi, i love the color of the wood floors. i am in the process of selection a stain color. Can you help me with the brand of stain and color? Thank you

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. We worked with our flooring installer to make a custom blend for the ebony stain.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. These are actually Restoration Hardware lights over the island.

Rebekah Zaveloff I use Benjamin Moore's White Dove quite a bit when I'm looking for a softer white. Farrow and Ball has a color called Wimborne White as well.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. We used Benjamin Moore's Decorators White on the cabinets and trim...I love Navajo White OC-95 for a softer look.

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. No prob, thanks for being a part of the community! Enjoy the photos

tillyemma What is the antiquing process you used on the Cambrian countertops?
