Am remodeling our long and narrow kitchen and want to open the range wall. - Love this kitchen. Mine has a similar layout. What do you think of switching the range to the window wall and the sink and dishwasher to the existing range location and opening up the top of that wall? Will do a narrow island like yours. Any help and advice would be really appreciated.

The nice thing about having a sink at the window is you can look out of the window to the green view beyond. Putting the sink against a wall seems sad.

No. We used only the manufacturer's exhaust hood insert with the filters and lights, not a complete hood, in our custom design hood

I checked again and found the color spec. It's BM #HC-4 "Hawthorne Yellow", one of the Historic Colors.

I love this kitchen! I have the specifics of the Hawthorne yellow walls (BM #HC-4). Would you tell me the paint information for the cream-colored cabinets?

How did you finish the base cabinet ends at the toe kick? - Love this kitchen. I have 3 questions: 1. What is the width of the round profile moulding used on the wall cabinets & the base cabinets. What is the width of the vertical fascia/light rail beneath the round profile moulding on the lower side of the wall cabinets. How did you finish the base cabinet ends to the L of the sink and to the R of the range? Thank you.

Do The base cabinet open ends to the L of the sink and to the R of the range have a vertical fascia that extends to the floor beneath the rounded profile moulding? If so, how does it come around to the front of the cabinet? Does it come around and end with a decorative furniture style curve as it ends, or something else? On the other hand, if the base cabinet open ends have the toe kick recessed beneath the cabinets, is that the same amount as on the front of the base cabinet run or less than that? I've looked at a lot of kitchens on Houzz to collect ideas for how to do my own kitchen. This is definitely one of my favorites. Now to figure out those base cabinet open end toe kicks.... This is one of the the last pieces of the puzzle for how my kitchen pulls together. I truly appreciate your input.

I believe this Kitchen had closed ends on the kicks with a moulded profile facing forward. That's the traditional look that creates a "foot" to the cabinet at the corners that I think you're describing.

Range location - Looks like the range is tight in corner (left side). Thinking of doing that in my kitchen remodel, but concerned of it being too tight on that side and inconvenient. Thoughts?

Thanks. Can you tell me how many countertop inches in that tight corner (not to the wall, but to the corner, looks like no more than 4" which is what i have in my current plan). Again, i have 2 kids who are constantly around the range when i cook, so was concerned that the tight corner would be an issue. Is there a pull-out on the base to the left or is that just a filler panel with know and hinges? If cabinet/pull-out do you have approx size?

It's about 7" or so with a small 4" wide cabinet door. They store cookie sheets in that cabinet.

No seat at the other end, just cookbook shelves. Can't remember the length off hand, somewhere between 8 ft and 10 ft.

OK to mix metals? - Older ranch house: I kept the maple trim (painted paneling and cabinets white; cabinets stark white.) Now because of problems with tile, I have a black/white floor that is not a true bright white. Nothing in there is true white except coat closet door, so cabinets flashing white! Did my hardware copper as looks good with maple. Can I paint trim white now and bring in an old brass chandelier...or do I need to change cabinet hardware as well if mix metals. Next (breakfast) room will remain with maple trim and copper accents. Sorry so long: I am desperate!

I would hate to paint the maple trim. If it were me, I would leave the maple and instead repaint the panelling or the the cabinets so they work with the floor and don't pop too much. It's a lot of work but you will be living with this a long time so it's worth it. And mixing brass and copper is fine.

Thank you so much: just in time! The contractor just called to get my decision on painting. Everyone is telling me to paint all trim, and I needed an objective opinion, especially from an expert.

Countertop Pricing - These counters are fabulous but I can't find any pricing for this type of custom countertop. Can you tell me the approximate cost of these custom PyroLave countertops?

They are more expensive than a stone countertop which makes sense because they are a lavastone countertop that has a ceramic glaze applied to it and then it is baked in a kiln. The extra steps involved add to the cost. If you are interested in an exct cost for your project, contact the US sales rep for Pyrolave via their website.

This is solid tongue & groove quarter/rift-sawn white oak strip flooring. It was stained in the field with a medium brown stain and finished with 3 coats of polyurethane.

It holds up very well to heat. It is a volcanic rock slab with a baked on glaze similar to a glazed ceramic tile so even the hottest pot does not harm the finish.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Paul Anater added this to Alternatives to Granite Countertops, Part II
The counters shown here are glazed stone. Glazed basalt to be precise. they are made from a company in France called Pyrolave, and the color palette they have available is truly unlimited. These counters are about as good as it gets, and they are priced accordingly.Pyrolave counters have all the strength of granite without any of the sealing worries yet they have the appearance of glazed pottery.
Bud Dietrich, AIA added this to Home Design: What's Your Story?
Zeek and Camille would be comfortable in this kitchen. Cheerful, colorful, bright and eclectic, this kitchen doesn't take itself too seriously.
Christine Tusher added this to 7 Low-Maintenance Countertops for Your Dream Kitchen
6. Lava stone. Impervious to heat, stains and cold and virtually maintenance free, lava stone might be the Holy Grail of countertops. But as prices start at $225 a foot and there’s a waiting list to boot, there’s a reason why you don’t see this material more often.
