I love the layout of this kitchen!! Where is the microwave?

Hi Sue! It's located in the walk-in pantry.


The stacked cabinetry "look" would be challenging with an 8 foot ceiling. When working with an 8 foot ceiling you have a couple options: use 36" upper cabinetry and add molding to top or work with 42" upper cabinetry and have one thin piece of trim at top. If you decided to consider custom sizes, the proportions may appear short and thickset for the room.

Thank you so much for replying!


Hi, Could you please tell me if this table is too busy

?

I like it! Mandi @ Dura


What is the backsplash?

The backsplash is Ledgestone Quartzite. The name of the color will vary by manufacturer, here is an example. [Golden-Honey-Ledger-Panels[(https://www.houzz.com/products/golden-honey-ledger-panels-wall-stone-prvw-vr~48158811).


Looks like Thin Sierra Shadowstone from Realstone Sysytems





Chairs look like the ones I'm thinking about purchasing from target:
http://www.target.com/p/threshold-24-brookline-tufted-counter-stool/-/A-14604269
Target offers them different heights and colors, as you can see the "dinning room" chair off to the left side.
These target chairs look nice and are a great price! Best of Luck!



Hello Christy! That is an interesting question that may require some more investigation on our part. We will let you know when we find an answer.

I would guess it is. The lighting from the photography possibly lightened it. If you'd like a lighter version of this, try Palisade SW 7635 by Sherwin-Williams. Mandi @ Dura


You're welcome! Hope this information helps.

Beautiful design! Mandi @ Dura



like Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray

That does look similar. Mandi @ Dura


this is not the correct model #

A day late and a dollar short... 10 years later.









I found this on Houzz that looks very similar and is also a Ledgestone Quartzite. Best of luck on your project! Mandi @ Dura


Lights Online is correct. You can purchase them through Houzz here, https://www.houzz.com/products/elk-lighting-31041-1-medina-modern-contemporary-mini-pendant-light-prvw-vr~13449046

I just love the dark gray color of this cabinetry. My husband and I are remodeling our kitchen, and we are wondering what we should look for when it comes to cabinetry. We will definitely have to get some this color since it matches the shade of our dining table and chairs perfectly. https://www.mjadesign.com/products


The island is from Dura Supreme Cabinetry, Bella Classic in White Rub and measures 108" by 50 3/4".



Great question! This beautiful look created by Jim McVeigh was designed with all Dura Supreme. No custom cabinetry needed.

A great question. It's all us! Dura Supreme Cabinetry is a Semi-Custom & Custom product.


Great question! The perimeter is Dura Supreme Bella Maple Graphite Rub. Here's a link to another kitchen design done with same cabinetry. Might give you some other ideas. (The island is Bella Classic White Rub island.) /https://www.ksikitchens.com/designer/jennifer-wilson/

Here's a close up of our Graphite painted finish. I recommend seeing a sample in person. Mandi @ Dura

Here's a close up example of our Bella door style in a Heritage Paint finish if you'd like to see more detail... Mandi @ Dura


Hi casper101! Thank you very much for your question. The kitchen wall cabinetry showcases Dura Supreme's Graphite painted finish.

Dura Supreme's "Graphite" painted finish is a popular dark gray option for cabinetry. Mandi @ Dura


Hello Suzanne Gingras Spagna! Thank you so much for your question. Our client had acquired the backsplash outside of our design services. We do know that the tile is a Ledgestone Quartzite. Due to its textured surface, this tile requires additional maintenance. It is recommended to treat the tile with a stone sealer once or twice a year. The sealant will help maintain the tile when it comes time to clean any grease splatter.

Great advice about the sealant! Mandi @ Dura


Hello Rebecca Ashcraft McWilliams. Thank you so much for your question. The wall color is SW 7503 "Sticks & Stones" from Sherwin-Williams.

You can find more info on the paint color on Sherwin-William's website here...

Mandi @ Dura


Thank you so much for your question. By design, the overhang on this particular island hides additional storage while also creating a seating/gathering area. We recommend storing infrequent items such as holiday décor, placemats or small appliances. Items that you would like to have readily available but not things you would use every day.

Great Advice KSI! Mandi @ Dura



Hello Mary, thank you for the question. The counter tops in this kitchen are granite in Santa Cecilia color.

It looks great with the 2 tones of Dura Supreme Cabinetry! Mandi @ Dura


Hello sherrykw22, thank you for your question. The door was selected by our client outside of our design and services. However, this door, which is available for purchase through Houzz, appears to be very similar.

Nice!



This looks very similar. I hope this helps. Mandi @ Dura


Hello cmwolfskill, thank you for asking. The range hood is 30" above the range in this kitchen. 30" to 36" is the standard distance between the two.

You may want to check your local building codes and double check what your local regulations are. I believe they can vary depending on where you are located, it never hurts to double check. Best of luck on your project. Mandi @ Dura


Hello lakinya. The cabinets are from Dura Supreme Cabinetry. Bella Maple door style in Graphite Rub for the perimeter and Bella Classic White Rub for the island. Thank you for asking.

Hello rake38, thank you for asking. The microwave is actually located in the walk in pantry with the etched glass door to the right of the refrigerator.

I've seen more an more microwaves moved to the pantry. I wonder if this is an upcoming trend as more and more homes invest in their pantry space? Mandi @ Dura


Hello sherrykw22, thank you for asking. The door was selected by our client outside of our design and services. However, this door appears to be very similar. It is available for purchase through Houzz.

Beautiful! Mandi @ Dura


Hello islandsunny, this is a GE Monogram range hood Model ZV800SJSS. Thank you for asking.

The designer at KSI Kitchen & Bath did an incredible job choosing the finishing touches for this kitchen! Great work! Mandi @ Dura

Hello Patti, thank you for asking. With the countertop included, this island is 36" tall.

This beautiful island designed by KSI is a Dura Supreme kitchen island. Mandi @ Dura



Hello jenieve18, thank you for asking. You are correct, this is a granite countertop. Santa Cecilia is the name of the color. The brand pictured is unknown, however you can find its equivalent from most manufacturers.

What specific quartzite ledgestone is the backsplash?


Hello vrdmott, excellent question
and thank you for asking. The outlets are located behind the appliance per
appliance manufacturer specs. The outlet for the disposal is located in the
sink base.

When planning a kitchen island, it's good to know what appliances you'll be purchasing ahead of time so you can create well placed outlets like this design. Mandi @ Dura


Hello tarshell, thank you for asking. The ceiling in this kitchen is 9ft.

I love how the cabinets stretch up to the ceiling. It makes the space look a lot larger. Mandi @ Dura


Hello mauied! This is Ledgestone Quartzite in the backsplash. Thank you for asking.

It's a beautiful choice! Mandi @ Dura


Hello christiemg, a very thoughtful question indeed. This island runs just over 108" long. Your island isn't too much smaller than that. Assuming your pendant lights are to be designated lighting for the island area only, you could fit them in using at least 22" of space on each end of the island and space the apart from each other accordingly. If you were needing to light your entire kitchen space with them, you may want to space them out further. Thank you for asking.

Great advice and Great Design work KSI! Mandi @ Dura


Hello erinrn77, thank you for asking. The cabinets on each side of the range are 24" wide. There is approximately 48" between the perimeter cabinetry and the island.

KSI Kitchen & Bath - Great design work! Mandi @ Dura



The Abbyson Living Collection bar stools are very similar to the ones in the photo, I found an image on Houzz shown below... I hope this helps.
Have a great week!
Mandi @ Dura


Hello chrstiemg! These lights are from Elk Lighting, Medina 1-Light Pendant in Polished Stainless Steel. You can find them here: http://www.elklighting.com/eSource/Medina_1-Light_Pendant_in_Polished_Stainless_Steel/i_00/Elk_31041/1.aspx Thank you for asking.

The lights you chose work beautifully with the kitchen island. Great design work! Mandi @ Dura


The wall paint or the cabinetry paint? The cabinetry paint is shown in Dura Supreme's "Graphite" gray paint and the kitchen island is shown in Dura Supreme's "Classic White" paint with "Platinum" glaze finish.

Hello marcandjen, thank you for asking, and thank you Dura for sharing the cabinet colors. The walls are SW 7503 "Sticks & Stones" from Sherwin-Williams.


Hello michelinev, yes the dishwasher is inside the island. Thank you for asking.

That is a great placement choice to be next to the sink! Mandi @ Dura



Hello chickievan, thank you for asking. The granite countertop in this kitchen is 3cm.






Our client had purchased the stools outside of our services. However, another Houzz user has suggested that these stools that are available from Target are very similar as well.











I do not know the wall color, but my best guess would be either "Chelsea Mouve" or "Reticence" from Sherwin Williams. Mandi @ Dura












http://www.target.com/p/threshold-24-brookline-tufted-counter-stool/-/A-14604269
Target offers them different heights and colors, as you can see the "dinning room" chair off to the left side.
These target chairs look nice and are a great price! Best of Luck!

Thank you countertopgirl, you may be correct. Our client had purchased these separately from our design and installation services. The stools in the link provided above appear to be very similar in the charcoal color.

what is a comfortable counter overhang for an adults legs when sitting at countertop?





Hi Jennifer, thanks for reaching out! Regrettably we only supplied the cabinetry on this project and don't have information on file regarding the style and color of the tile.


Hello Koray, you are welcome to use the image if you provide attribution as follows: Photo courtesy of Jim McVeigh, Designer at KSI Kitchen & Bath. Photo by Beth Singer.


The back wall is 16' wide, the ceiling is 9' high, and the depth is a standard 25".


It looks like it's a solid white paint.


I do not have the details of this Dura Supreme cabinetry order, but I do have in my notes that this kitchen had a 9 ft ceiling. I hope that helps. Have a great day!
Mandi @ Dura


The cabinetry and the molding is from Dura Supreme Cabinetry. See your local Dura Supreme Showroom like KSI Kitchen and Bath for details on size options and customizing to fit your space. Mandi @ Dura
