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

Kitchen remodel - Hello. I would appreciate your input on two things: 1. I'd like to do white top shaker cabinets and light grey bottom cabinets for my beach condo kitchen. Floor is a light grey porcelain plank tile. However my stainless still fridge will be located in a separate corner (detached from the cabinets) in the kitchen. What color top cabinet and panel should I incorporate around the fridge? 2. On one wall above the range (where stainless still good is located) I was planning on not doing any top cabinets and just leave the hood alone. Would you recommend I place two open shelves on either side of the hood? And if so what color? Thanking you in advance.

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.

I love cloud white for trim. I use it 95% of the time and my clients are very pleased with the result. Especially nice with warm greys.

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.

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.

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.

I wanted to stain the island (13'x4.5') in a custom color - Jacobean then classic grey. I'm wondering what to use and what color as a counter top for the island. The floor is a pine in a medium finish (lots of grey, black, brown). I was thinking a white granite? What do you think?

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Sam Ferris added this to Quartz vs. Granite: The Battle of the Countertops
Con: It isn’t the real deal. As durable as engineered quartz is and as innovative as manufacturing processes are becoming, it won’t ever be 100 percent natural, and that’s a deal breaker for a lot of homeowners.
