Thanks! My contractor suggested the 8'' - is there a reason why you recommend the larger size?

Polished - No, the pulls match the hood (satin)

Thanks! I just ordered the satin nickel pulls from Restoration Hardware but will go ahead with the Polished Pendants since its looks so great in this kitchen - thanks!!

hard to tell from pic but i would say polished

HI,
I would contact an interior designer to help you out.

Good Luck!

Thank you very much.

If you are building this house, you can have the electrician go ahead and wire the ceiling for a light fixture and not expose it in the room. Once you are living in the house/room, you can easily add a hanging light fixture if you decide to later. This way you can try it the way you think you want it, if there is not enough light or realize that you do want the fixture, it will not be a huge expense to add it. (Just a matter of the electrician coming in and wiring a fixture to the internal wires, which should not be very expensive.)

I did my kitchen over a year ago and felt the same way about the lighting above the table. Well, I'm having the electrician come back to put one in. I really miss the ambiance you get from chandelier lighting--it's cozier and more intimate--keeps your family & friends at the table longer! There are many options out there for less obtrusive fixtures that won't steal your outside view. Go for minimal and simple-glass vs. a solid shade or heavy metal. I would definitely put the electric there whether you initially put a fixture in or not. I wish I had! Good luck.

My kitchen designer advised against any chandelier type, they look nice but it is one more thing to clean. Once in a while I get a twinge to buy one, until I remember I'd be the one cleaning it. Having the wiring installed just in case is a good idea, though.

Hi Grammie Linda- I had the exact same situation and did not want to obstruct the ocean view....my fabulous electrician suggested recessed pinholes directly above the dining table. originally we intended to do three about 5 inches apart running length of table, but due to ceiling joist location did a tight rectangle of 4. they are tiny diameter, maybe 3"? and have a dimmer. We have plently of light on the table when needed and still have the view. good luck!

Thank you. The space is roughly 18x24.

This was four years ago and done on site, but try using Walnut, Mahogoney, a little Ebony.

Red oak with a custom mix stain. Oak is about a 8 on a scale of ten for wood hardness.

Nice to talk to you,red oak and a dark stain ,very very nice.thanks again.s.merck

I start at four and work back if needed. The min. would be 3'-6".

Thank you for you quick response. And I just wanted to say on behalf of many of us whome visit this site for inspiration, I greatly appreciate that you share your talents and knowledge. Every home is different I'm sure but it's nice to have someone share advice and help. Thank you'

The proper set back is 42 inches but you can go more to what your comfortable with.

3 is minimum, but if you a dishwasher or fridge surrounding your island, you will definitely want it wider if possible.

I typically will change the sheen or color slightly for the millwork and cabinetry. A warmer white on the walls acted as a backdrop for a cooler white for the woodwork. Very subtle contrast of white on white.

Thank you. I'm assuming the Decorators white is the "cooler" white. You do such amazing work, I wish you were in Toronto :)

In following a question from one of your other houses, would this be veneer cabinets as well?

What is dove white and what is decorator's white? Which would you prefer on kitchen cabinets if we want a warmer feel in white? have to decide by monday. thank you

I'm sorry! Don't really understand what you're asking?!

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking.

I agree with Sherman, how does one incorporate the space of the kitchen in this space to your kitchen? Also, what color are the walls?

Don't try and reinvent the wheel...be simple and use the space you do have wisely.

Also check out Arhaus for the trestle table...great source!

Thank you! Approx. 27'-6"x 20'

Thank you. There's no "rule" per say, as each space is different. I star with about six feet and adjust as needed through design development. This image is six. Good luck!

You can also find some similar hardware here: http://rusticahardware.com/category/cabinet-hardware/

Valspar's Snowcap White is a similar color.

It's Decorators White by Benjamin Moore

Hafele sizes vary from 6" to 12"

Thank you so much! Is there a style number? I can't tell the detail from the picture but they look like the perfect mix of traditional and modern at the same time. I truly appreciate your response. I'm sure you get so many questions.

Only one sink in this Kitchen. It's on the island with the DW to the right

3'-9" x 10'-0" x 36" high. The overhang is 15".

Try restorationhardware.com

they're from Restoration Hardware

Those are great looking, not sure from this far away what brand, but I'd guess that they're 8" or so. Maybe the designer can answer more specifically.

In my mind, kashmir white doesn't look so much like marble because it has the red spots that aren't so common in a marble. River white is taupe/grey and white so it more resembles a marble finish, in my opinion. However, that being said, kashmir white would really complement espresso cabinets.

Thanks...I am very torn between the two...I really dont love the red spots on the Kashmir white and the river white does resemble the marble....Do you think the river white would look nice with the brown cabs also? I thought I would bring both granites into the backsplash place and see what backsplash would compliment these granites...any ideas???

Try Luce de Luna also called Bianca quartzite. Granite gurus did s a slab Sunday last month. I think it,s beautiful.

Try looking at the Anderson Hammered Clove wood floor. Under Casitablanca

thanks so much.

Dual purpose. Do you need an island and a dining table in the kitchen? Could the island have an elevated or lowered part that can be used for dining? I also like the new tables and stools that are higher. A breakfast bar is so not cozy for dining, but an area where you feel like you are sitting on a table will do.

These look like marble to me!
