Agreed. Our Rubio pre finish line is very popular!

Rubio is terrific. For those with severe allergies, I still recommend ECOS Organics Wood Varnish... a UK product now produced here in the US. Check out ECOSpaints.net. This product not only finishes the wood, it seals the terpenes and natural aromas emitted from wood.

As always, I recommend sampling products before committing to an entire floor.

For a seamless and calm environment, I would recommend painting the cabinets linen white.

I simply cannot afford a new countertop at this time, and have tile laying tool and experience that would make tiling a viable option.

I custom-designed this range hood built on site by Aedi Construction team. Inserts for custom hoods are readily available through most suppliers in many sizes. :)

Cabinets - Hi Lisa, I love this house and your work! I am trying to do something similar in my kitchen where I am going to have an open shelf made out of reclaimed wood with a white cabinet that goes to the ceiling above it. I am worried that the cabinet above will look too high? I am doing 9 foot ceilings. How high off the counter is the open shelf? What is the height of the open shelf? What is the height of the cabinet? And what is the size of the soffit and molding above? I love how this looks but am worried about mine turning out right! Thanks!

Hi there. There is 18" of space above counter to bottom of open shelf. The open shelf section is 12" high, with an interior height of 8.5". The cabinetry overall is 10' tall, including the crown molding. For frame of reference, the vaulted ceiling above is 16' from floor to the ridge beam. While the top shelf inside the cabinet can only be reached with a portable step stool, I think cabinetry that is full-height to the ceiling looks terrific.

I hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your project.

I chose Mythic non-toxic paint matched to Benjamin Moore's Mayonnaise for walls, ceiling, cabinetry and trim. It is a wonderfully warm white without gaining too much in the yellow end of the spectrum.

The fan is the Emerson Loft. Good strong power for a residential space with south-facing skylights and a professional range.

I love that you used a white fan. It's beautifully understated and blends well into the environment. We are building a house and I can not find a ceiling fan that I think is "pretty". I love this idea!

Kitchen floor - What type of wood and what finish is on the floors? Beautiful!

Thanks for your question, 7thheaven.

Floors are antique reclaimed heart pine from Longleaf Lumber in Cambridge, MA. Finish is matte Bona Kemi Traffic, although for an even healthier non-toxic finish, I now recommend ECOS Organic Wood Varnish (see link below) -- Same beautiful look with none of the off-gassing of traditional finishes.

The color of the floors is really beautiful. Besides the bona kemi was there a sealer or stain applied?

The microwave is hidden in one of the lower cabinets to the right of the oven.

Thank you, Maryse. I commissioned the custom pendant lights, which were handcrafted by Creations by Carol. They are made of linen. The raw steel frames are wrapped with rustic twine.

The island is 2' thick single slab of concrete, from J. Aaron. The perimeter counter is made from the same reclaimed antique heart pine as the flooring, sourced from Longleaf Lumber in Cambridge MA.

Hi Mally.

The cabinet drawer flush pulls are from Whitechapel Ltd. Handles on the hidden SubZero refrigerators and freezer drawers are the largest 8" size in the Aubrey line from Restoration Hardware. We used extra long screws to secure them as they are not officially specified for appliance use. So far, so good.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Becky Harris added this to Is Belgian Style the New Shabby Chic?
Start with a neutral base and add accessories. White paint, exposed beams and rafters, wood floors and gallons of white paint are a good base for a Belgian-style kitchen. The details bringing it home include the textured wicker market basket, the Belgian linen pendant shades and the antique pitcher on the counter.
