the kitchen ceiling looks lower than normal.... what is the distance between the upper kitchen cabinet and the countertop? what are the dimensions of the doors in the upper? thanks! »
Redbud Custom Homes These ceilings are actually taller than a typical 8' ceiling as they are 9' tall ... the upper cabinets are about 18" above the counters. The perimeter of the room has a small fur down of 6" (8'6" height) that makes the coffers appear taller in the center of the room at 9'
The Kitchen Studio of Glen Ellyn You will typically a minimum of 24-27" for each person for comfortable seating. This table appears to be about 48" x 60" or so, so the booth is probably about 6'x9'.
Redbud Custom Homes Simple is key ... this kitchen was a collaboration with Stuart Sampley Architect (we do quite a bit of work together and he is all over Houzz.com!)

I was thinking of glass subway tiles for my kitchen with dark maple cabinets, but since the kitchen is small I want a light ( sage green) tile and all I have seen so far is in the blue family. Do you know if it is made in that color and where can I get it? »
Becky Harris I actually saw some on a neighborhood house tour this weekend and they were lovely. A quick google search of "sage green glass subway tile" brought up a lot of results, though I would highly recommend seeing them in person and / or ordering a sample to see how it works in the light of your room. Glass tiles can take on other colors and are affected by the light in a room and you'll want to see how it will work in your room before committing.
distance between table and island - love the nook but don't know how much space to allow. what is the distance you've left between the table and the counter island? Do they overlap at all? »
Here is a small dining nook off the kitchen where built-in seating is tucked under the two windows. The light and the seating anchor the space and draw one to the corner. It's easy to see the table being a site not only for meals, but also reading the paper, doing homework and other activities.
Banquettes. It’s ideal to have everyone gathered around the table, sharing a meal, but this can be tricky if your kitchen doesn’t have room for a big dining table. Enter banquettes. Not only do they save space by being built into the wall, but they also fit many more little bodies. As for getting them to eat their vegetables, that one’s on you.
10. This kitchen combines several traditional elements subtle enough to keep the space still looking fresh and current. Wood surfaces warm up the space, and readers loved the sage-green subway tile backsplash.
