Urrutia Design We always use marble, granite, concrete or wood for counters. White Carrera Marble is a favorite of ours. If you're looking for something slightly different try Calacutta or Thasos.

Granite Grannies @jmaurry, White Carrara tends to have a fairly consistent look. Most granite companies in an area are buying their slabs from the same suppliers, so you should go directly to distributors to choose a slab. Like Urrutia said, marble is a great material for counters, you just have to know that there is more of a chance that you many get a nick or small discoloration here and there over the years, which certainly seems worth it to me. If you don't go marble, I would encourage you to look at quartzites instead of man made materials (which can never really replicated natural stone). Quartzite is a natural, quarried stone like marble or granite. It tends to look like marble, but is harder than granite. Two of the more popular quartzites are White Macaubas Quartzite and Super White Quartzite (aka White Fantasy Quartzite). White Macaubas can have a Carrara-esqe look.

jmaurry Thanks very much!

Brenda I'm loving the hood as well ... looks like it might be rear venting (?) which I have been DESPERATELY searching for.

Urrutia Design The chair is a vintage chair. We have a handful in our shop if you are interested. We reupholster/refurbish them.
--Jason Urrutia/Urrutia Design

Peggy Smith what is the price of the chair and how many do you have available?

Urrutia Design We have 2 available in Blue Velvet (pictured). They are $1,200 for the pair. I believe that we have access to 8 that could be reupholstered in leather. Depending on the amount of chairs ordered, they start at $700 each. A set of 6-8 chairs would run $600 each. The chairs are made from walnut and truly beautiful in design.

Urrutia Design Thank you for the nice words... very much appreciated.
Your "bench" is 4 meters? Are you saying that your "island" is 4 meters long? The island in the photograph is 4' x 12' Here is the link for the lights in the photo

If your island is a large as I think it is then I would use the same light fixtures. If you want a smaller alternative you could use the Berlin Pendant from Roost...

Lots of luck with your kitchen!

missmegthomas Many, many thanks to you Jason for such a detailed response. Greatly appreciated. Yes my island is 4 metres (I have 3 young boys who love their food & their space!!) so yes I agree that the larger cone will be perfect and I can source similar styles here in Australia. So thrilled I discovered your designs. Kind regards, Meg..
