pamela47 Where are the counter stools from

Palmer Todd Thank you for your inquiry! Those pendants are made by a company called Visual Comfort. You can go to their website http://www.visualcomfort.com/home.aspx to see who is a dealer in your area. Hope that helps!

Kristen Salzman Beautiful pendants. Are these a mix of stainless and chrome or all stainless metal? Thanks!

lslotsve Thank you, it is beautiful

Palmer Todd Thank you so much! We are glad you like it.

chenxiwang112 Hi, follow up on the bar seating question. More specifically, is it the opening part of the eating bar 6 ft or the surface of the bar 6 ft? The latter would make the opening smaller than 6 ft as it includes the legs on both side. I'm trying to design my new island and is a few inches short from 24" per seat, hence the question. Thanks!

Jessica Resor Ray Is the island the shape of a U? I'd love to see more pics of it! Love it!

Palmer Todd The countertops are Carrera Marble.

Palmer Todd It is 10' w x 4' d

Palmer Todd The dimensions of the island are 140" x 60" overall.

bepsf IMO - Needs, function and preferences are the basis for all good design:

To begin with, what function is the island serving? What hardware/appliances/plumbing (if any) does it need to hold? How much space do you have to work within? Where are the traffic patterns around the island? What are your personal preferences regarding the design of your island and your kitchen as a whole? How many people does it have to serve at one time? Are there any physical limitations for the individuals in the household who will be using it?

This island above could have been just as easily a single level, but it's clear to me that the owner wanted not only to have folks sitting at the island, but also a sort of separation between the workspace and the eating area as well as a sort of visual barrier between the clutter of the kitchen sink and the seating area that's most likely behind where the photographer is standing. The owner doesn't have young children - otherwise shorter counterstools may have been in order - and this isn't intended as a major eating/entertaining area either, hence only 3 stools rather than the 5 or 6 which could have been accommodated here...
...and there are probably no physical limitations or major bad backs in this household - so the dishwasher is mounted on the floor below the counter rather than raised up on a plinth under a raised counter which would make it easier for someone with a back injury to use without bending over...
...and there's nobody in a wheelchair here which would make a lowered counter workspace/eating area preferable.

Jennie Nunn Ballard Designs has several similar designs, including these bar stools: http://www.ballarddesigns.com/le-mans-barstool/13374

Emily Hurley Not sure on this exact floor, but I found an ideabook that might help give you some clues!

Kerrie L. Kelly Loving this space! Check out Sherwin Williams' Zircon, SW7667, for the wall color.

Annie Thornton This looks like the Sloane Street Shop Light in Antique Nickel by Sandy Chapman.
