Responding to Admirers of your Work - Oakley, since you posted this beautiful home on houzz, and it has drawn such glowing admiration, perhaps you could post answers to questions on houzz also. At the very least, please do so for the photos posted prior to the development of your new iPad app. Thanks for your consideration! »
Oakley Home Builders Thanks so much for your interest in our work! The app is completed and at Apple for review. It should be out this week! Look for it soon. We will post information asap!!
Oakley Home Builders Thanks for your comments. We don't force anyone to purchase our app to find out the paint selections to our homes. It is merely a tool we have made available with over 100 photos, flooring selections, paint colors, cabinetry colors and finishes as well as countertop selections. We get asked hundreds of questions about our homes and felt this was an excellent tool to provide all of this great info in one location. Our main focus is building homes, while we love to provide houzzers with the info, it's not very timely as we get many questions on a daily basis.
missangel99 Oakley Home Builders- does this stain have a purplish tone to it? Have to give my island color by this Monday and I really like this but in person the color swatch looks like it is maybe a plumb/black tone?
jcst I would love to know the type of wood & stain on this kitchen floor - it's beautiful! I have 5" white oak w/ character flooring and a similar kitchen design and am looking for something very similar to this in the Minwax line.
danaperez Thank you so much. Do you think the counter top on the island is marble? I'm redoing my kitchen similar to this one, but considering marble counter tops everywhere. I'm wondering why I rarely see that combination.
Kerrie L. Kelly Looks like it may be the Mini Chandelier by James Moder.
The James R. Moder Mini Crystal No. 95742 Chandelier is old-world, crystal magnificence in a contemporary setting. Crystals hang from multiple strands that fall around the central fixture. Truly, no two Broadway chandeliers are the same, as the strands can be positioned randomly, creating a unique layer of crystal on both sides of the Candelabra lamps. http://www.lumens.com/Mini-Chandelier-No-95742-by-James-R-Moder/uu125540/Product
Here's another version of the mini chandeliers as pendants. Not only do they add a touch of elegance, but they also grant the space just a bit of whimsy.
Accent the cabinets. "Our homeowners wanted a hint of sophistication yet wanted to play up the farmhouse look in the kitchen," says Amy Krieger of Oakley Home Builders. "The white cabinetry is accentuated with the use of crystal chandeliers. These glamorous fixtures add elegance while keeping with the theme of the kitchen."
I like the different backsplash by the range to add something a little different, the hardware, and the glass on the cabinets at top. I'm mixed on the dark wook island. I don't like the look of the hood over the range. It is a little overdone.

White ceramic subway tile is also a good option if you want to get this look more inexpensively. Here is a link to it for comparison: http://www.subwaytileoutlet.com/products/White-Ceramic-Subway-Tile.html
