I think the grout is called winter grey. We had to match the existing grout. The brick was original and went to the ceiling, but there was a big hole from an old wood stove. We used the top bricks including the curved bricks at the edges to fill the hole and then topped with a steel shelf.

Hi Haleigh
The top of the island is Imperial Danby marble sourced from Vermont. The island frame is steel, designed by me and fabricated by Newport Forge and Welding in Newport, RI. The oak shelves were put in by the carpenter, Ed Lacross.
Thanks
Gale

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Nora Burba Trulsson added this to Houzz Tour: The Farmhouse Revisited
A previous owner had moved most of the workings of the original kitchen to the adjacent sun porch and used this room as a combination studio and breakfast room. Goff moved the kitchen back to its original location and restored the porch.An old coal stove was removed and replaced with the 1930s-era, refurbished Chambers range, which showcases the curved, white-brick wall.A custom sink, cabinetry and island are in keeping with the home’s era. Goff designed the light fixture above the island to use vintage bulbs.Lacross rebuilt the owners’ original square wood table into a refectory-style table that better fits the kitchen’s dimensions.

For one thing, the owners had to move the kitchen from a sun porch back to its original location. A 1930s-era refurbished Chambers range adds charm to the newly reworked space, while a custom sink, cabinetry, island and refectory-style table are also in keeping with the home’s era. The light fixture above the island uses vintage bulbs.



Is the island a stock item somewhere or did you have it custom built?
The island was custom built by 3 different trades: the stone fabricator, metalworker and carpenter.
