    Can you provide any information on where to get a light fixture like this one?

    It came from Lee Lighting. You can find it on their website if they still carry it. I believe it was made by Savoy House.

    I love this kitchen! I cannot do a range hood like that in my smaller kitchen because microwave is above stove, I was wondering how to achieve the over all look and feel. I have a beige stone floor that looks a bit like travertine colors although it is a stone tile laid in a brick pattern. I have ugly pinkish pickled looking cabinets that I want repainted in some light shade, but not too white. I have stainless appliances. A dark antique kitchen table and black iron light fixture. Would love to have this feel and create a similar look. I have a picture of my ugly pink cabinets on my page.. After looking a tons of kitchen pictures this stands out in my head over and over! I was leaning toward a dark Uba Tuba grantie or a blackish quartz. I want classic and timeless look that won't date. Are there any granites out there that achieve this look on the counters if this one in the pictue is very expensive? Thanks for any suggestions.

    Do you have any suggestions for other wall paint colors for this picture? That is the only thing I'm not fond of. I have a very pale light green but would do another shade of light color that would go with this idea. Would you also suggest a color for painting the pinkish pickled cabinets to achieve this look?

    I think you could paint the walls a pale taupe-y color, like maybe Sherwin Williams Accessible Beige cut 50%, or Benjamin Moore Greige cut 50%. I would put a coat of dark brown polyurethane (with stain on it) to darken the cabinets first. Then paint white and scrape or sand little bits of the paint to reveal the brown underneath. I hope this helps!

    Sorry, I didn't answer your other question. Do a smaller curved wood or plaster hood without the corbels sitting on the countertops. Just take the curved chimney idea and trim it way down so that the shape is there but not the bulk. It will look fabulous.

    Can you do that with aa microwave under it, out would you have to move the microwave? I don't think I have anywhere to move it to. Picture shows my boring standard set up and you can see the cabinets, counters & back splash I'm trying to figure out what direction to change them out to for a classic timeless fresh look. Thanks so munch for suggestions!!

    Hi, If you are referring to the picture above your post with the burgundy diamond shapes as accents, the cream tile is just a standard ceramic tile. Like the square white ones that are always in. I'm trying to redo my kitchen and get away from the 90's look I have. If I didn't have the accent tiles I'm perfectly happy with the classic cream square ones and I'd just change out the granite.
