Thank you! The countertop is made of Cambria quartz and the pattern is Castille.

Brand name of double sink? Is it white?



Cabinets were made by a local cabinetmaker in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada.


The wall colour is Benjamin Moore OC-28 collingwood. Thanks for asking.



That answers a question I had as well so thank you...i have another question and would so much appreciate your input...I want to do the taupe/grey lowers, white uppers and with white floor to ceiling cabinetry... My kitchen will have a connected peninsula which will also be the taupe/grey; but I will also have an island that stands alone in the center so would you do the island in white or taupe/grey or is it either/or since it stands alone? I love your design and looking forward to your reply:)

I would do the island in the taupe/grey to be consistent with the lower cabinets and peninsula. It sounds like your kitchen is quite large so you may consider a different complementary pattern for the peninsula and island from that of the sink/work area. That will add more visual interest.



Where are the cabinet pulls from?

Thanks for your inquiry. They are manufactured by Berenson and the sku# is 9233-1026P. http://www.berensonhardware.com/


Might you provide the spec for the grey paint finish? It looks great!

Thank you. The finish is Benjamin Moore CC-518 escarpment. My cabinetmaker mixes an epoxy into the paint to ensure that it will be hard-wearing and then it's sprayed on.


What is the color of the cabinets?

Upper cabinets are Benjamin Moore CC-40 cloud white and the lower cabinets are CC-518 escarpment.


what color are the cabinets?

Upper cabinets are Benjamin Moore CC-40 cloud white and the lower cabinets are CC-518 escarpment. Thanks for asking.


What color is the painted wall that peninsula is on?

Benjamin Moore OC-28 collingwood. Thanks for asking.


Are these cabinet doors made out of wood and then painted?

Yes. The cabinetmaker spray-painted them instead of staining.




Could you please tell me more information on the pendant lights.


Thanks! It is a taupe/grey colour hardwood: Mercier Hard Maple - the colour is Stone. Check it out at: http://www.mercier-wood-flooring.com

Not a problem. It only takes me a few minutes to find it and post it. The upper cabinets are Benjamin Moore CC-40 cloud white and the lower cabinets are CC-518 escarpment. The walls are OC-28 collingwood.






The color of paint on the walls has a hint of color. May I ask what color the walls are? Very nice and adds a touch of warmth.


It is engineered hardwood: Mercier Hard Maple - the colour is Stone. Check it out at: http://www.mercier-wood-flooring.com


There is a downward draft fan built into the peninsula. Look at the top of the cooktop - towards the seating. You'll see a raised panel. That is the fan that pops up. See the photo below where the fan is up.



The countertop is Cambria Quartz - Castille pattern.


One of my favourite trim colours: Benjamin Moore CC-40 cloud white.


Thanks, Laurie! My pleasure.


The grade of this hard maple is Select which offers more variation between the planks. Distinction has less variation. For more information: https://planchers-mercier.com/en_ca/products/design/hard-maple/stone

Marian, the colour of the base cabinets is Benjamin Moore CC-518 escarpment. It's one of my favourite mid-tone warm greys.

Thanks for your inquiry. The countertop is made of Cambria quartz and the pattern is Castille. It's difficult for me to say how that countertop would look with a specific wood as it would depend on colour of the cabinetry as well as the floor and backsplash.


Thank you! I think it would work really well. Then I would recommend a marble-like quartz countertop like Cambria's Swanbridge or Weybourne to lighten up the space.

The backsplash tile is made of polished Botticino marble in a hexagon
mosaic pattern. You can inquire at local tile stores to see if they
carry it.

















If you hang them like the photo, I think that'll be fine.
