The dark floor tile really sets of the white tone seen throughout the rest of the space. We staggered the pattern at 1/4 of the tile instead of the typical 1/2 of the tile for a running bond to add more visual interest to the floor. The tile is a 6x24 plank, color Karu Matte, from Mosaic Tile Co. Thank you for your interest.

These counters are "White Macubas" Granite from Charles Luck Stone. It's important to remember that stones are natural materials and the shade, color, crystal structure, and veining vary from one lot to the next. For that reason, we like to accompany our clients to the stone yard to select the stone that fits their tastes just right. This stone varies from white to gray-green so slab selection was very important. Thanks for your inquiry.

The shelves are custom made and they are about 4 to 5 inches deep.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Kathryn Peltier Design added this to Going Up: Vertical Storage Holds More Kitchen Stuff
In this narrow galley-style kitchen, there was not enough room for more cabinets. Enter shallow, open, floor-to-ceiling shelves. These create not only extensive storage but a graphic display as well.More: The 15 Most Popular Kitchen Storage Ideas on Houzz
Toronto Interior Design Group added this to Where to Carve Out More Pantry Storage
The major advantage here, besides items being easy to grab, is that eliminating doors also eliminates the need for swing-space for them to open, allowing some storage to fit into a tighter passageway.
