    Southam Design Inc The paint colour is definitely off-white, not beige, however the client selected and purchased the paint so we have no record of it on file. Wish we could help and good luck on your project!

    Southam Design Inc Thank you! We are not located in Chicago however would not mind working there or stopping by :)
    The glass used in this kitchen is similar to Thinkgalss but is not. This was done by a local artist whom we often work with and creates beautiful pieces.

    Southam Design Inc The vanity counter-top is called Avignon Light Limestone. To install a wall-hung vanity you must first place additional backing and support in the wall in which it will be fastened to otherwise, you are correct, it will pose a concern! If you don't want to rip of your exiting wall to put additional backing, another solution is to build a knee-wall (typically 4-1/2" deep) under the vanity to support it. That way the vanity still looks as though it is floating/suspended but is actually supported by the knee-wall - make sense??

    Southam Design Inc A barn door would be a good solution to your problem. It will provide roughly the same amount of sound-proofing as a regular door while looking super funky! Good luck with your project.

    John Whipple - By Any Design ltd. This is the best product I have found for difficult waterproofing installations




    We use Kerdi Fix for most of our lighting projects both as an adhesive and as a waterproofing material.

    Southam Design Inc If it is built properly using 3/4" material, it should work.
