tamihs13 its really lovely. as you were the designer involved, and i 've only heard rumors about honed absolute black, do you know if the homeowner is happy with their choice- is it hard to maintain? does it show fingerprints as everyone says> do you have any experience with leathered absolute black? Thanks for getting back to me.
imahunch I have absolute honed black countertops in my kitchen and in photographs it looks amazing, but up close you see all kinds of marks which drives me crazy. I love the black countertop look with white cabinetry but do not like how the stone reacts to liquids.
Ronique Gibson A durable kitchen table is one that can withstand your family's day to day use, and your entertaining lifestyle without looking abused! If you have small kids, or use your kitchen table for homework, etc.. you probably would opt for a sturdy wood table that has plenty of room, but has solid construction.
While if it is just you and your dog, a minimalist glass or metal framed table may be just perfect. :)
Durable is a reflection of you and your lifestyle.
Great design - Could you share the dimensions of the eating area and where you got the table? Love that the table sits 5. Would be perfect for my family. Thanks »
Hi. Any chance I could get more information on the backsplash? I have similar choices in my new kitchen design and would love to use this backsplash but I want to make sure the material and color and size are correct. Thank you so much! »
Windsors are a perfect match for this transitional eat-in kitchen. While the prep area is clean and modern, the oriental rug, six-over-one windows, cabinet details and the classic chairs ground things in tradition. The Vendome Chandelier is a great piece that can navigate between traditional and modern styles.
Next to a skirted sink, nothing says farmhouse chic like a set of Windsor chairs. Classic and timeless, these chairs can be passed down from generation to generation without ever losing their style.
