Thanks, it is hand hewn cherry. You can see it in the pic in the link below (against the tiger oak in my fridge and the pewter on my other counterops)

I will post finished kitchen pics soon.

Hi.

Thanks for your reply.
I tried "gw" but the site wouldn't accept it as a password.
Any other way to see photos?
Thanks,
Katie

Katie, try GW with all caps.

Ha! I hadn't had my coffee yet.
Thanks motodetroit!

Um, wow. I saw the picture of your dining room, and your floor to ceiling, wall to wall windows look out into a beautiful garden, complete with topiaries, I believe. I would love to see more pictures of that room - it's stunning.

Thanks, Adrienne! Our dining room is my absolute favorite room in the house. We bought the house 2 years ago and added a lot of space and gutted most of what was there. Unfortunately it was a lovely house as is but not designed for a family of five.

The dining room got only one change, though - we painted the window muntins a grey green so that they would recede into the scenery. The dining room has a view of our stone terraces, pond and grounds.

There are tons more pictures on the website, but I haven't uploaded anything for a while so it is not really up to date. The picture at the very top of the home page is probably the most recent. The copper roofed section in the middle of the house is the dining room.
