Lovely kitchen - I'm admiring the windows shown and wondering if you can tell me what type of window they are? What is the trim made of and who makes the windows. If you know their dimensions that would also be helpful. Thanks! Beautiful kitchen!!

Hello papita4u,
To answer your question i am not sure what type of window this is so i will just run through all of them. Aluminum windows are anodized, not painted and vinyl window are colored when they are extruded. Most steel windows are painted however. The bronze windows in the comment above are a very low maintenance patina such as the images below. I hope this is of assistance to you!

Clarifying the paint colors - I LOVE this kitchen and hope to achieve a similar look in ours. You said the ceiling and trim are "White Dove" from Sherwin Williams, but I think White Dove is a Benjamin Moore color. So I wanted to check if you meant "White Dove" by Benjamin Moore or "Dover White" from SW? Thank you! Beautiful job!!!!

Regarding the paint colors, the ceiling and trim if in fact are white dove paint color, are a Ben Moore paint, not a SW. There is a popular SW paint called Dover White which these may be. Also, these cabs are SW Alabaster. Weird, but these are my kitchen colors as well. White Dove is Ben Moore's most popular color for trim and Dover White is SW most popular white. Can the builder clarify or confirm? Thanks.

There are various appliances on either side of the island. As you can see in this diagonal shot. No, there is not a second sink. However, there's a mudroom off the kitchen (thru the doorway next to the fridge). Keep in mind, this is a chancellor's residence. Therefore, there's an entirely separate full kitchen for catering/staff during large event entertaining.

Hi Margaret, thank you for sending your note back in November. You're absolutely right, it can be difficult to answer specific questions about measurements, ducting, materials, etc., when we have our day-to-day work to accomplish. We very much appreciate you noticing and commenting on how often questions repeat themselves. We're happy to answer them, though we have to take some time away from Houzz every so often, because the questions can be overwhelming! Thank you, again, for your note. I hope your new year is off to a great start!

The new home is not open to visitors. However, the historic Chancellor's residence, located on Hillsborough St. (near the NCSU Bell Tower), is undergoing renovation to become NCSU's Gregg Museum of Art, and will be open spring of 2017.

The kitchen pass-through connects to an eat-in nook (to the left/west in the photo). You can also see it in some of the accompanying photos. I should mention that from the perspective of where this photo is taken (straight behind) is a family room. Also 'connected' to this space is a formal dining room (think south/west). It truly is the centerpoint of this home.

Amazing.... - I just have to say....I've been trolling Houzz for a few years now, looking for kitchen inspiration. I always come back to this kitchen. I had to create a new Idea folder. Now, instead of just "kitchen design" I have a folder entitled, "ALL time Favorite Kitchen!" So very cool. And I really appreciate you answering all the knit picking questions about paint! hoping to find just a little of this vibe.

My pleasure, thanks for being so enthusiastic and letting us know. We really appreciate great feedback. I wish you'd get a chance to visit the NCSU Chancellor's home and see the kitchen for yourself. It's amazingly functional -- this room and the adjoining spaces can accommodate 200 people comfortably. Or, just the family can hang out and enjoy the open space. The kitchen is flexible and big, but still feels like a home and not a ultra luxury mansion.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Kelly Porter added this to How to Create Calm and Character With Light Colors
1. Look for the undertones. It can be a challenge to create a cozy atmosphere in a room with white walls and high ceilings. The trick is to use a white paint color that leans toward ivory or has subtle peach undertones. These types of whites pair well with honey-toned wood finishes, and together they can add a surprising amount of warmth and calm to a large space.A paint color to try: Alabaster by Sherwin-Williams
