I like the "snappy" (high-contrast, natural) finish! I'm curious which Swedish brand and exact product chosen for sealer & finish. I presently have test patches of Glitza Infinity II on my red oak #2 flooring and it looks too dull.

Floor color

- Please tell me the stain color used, it goes well with the cabinets. Thanks!

The lighting and contrast in this shot makes it look like a custom stain, but the floors are actually natural with 3 coats of swedish finish.

Bar stools

- How tall are they 24 or 30"?

PRO
Tenhulzen Residential
The countertop is at 36", so 24" bar stools were chosen.

White oak floors?

- What kind of wood was used for the floor? Is it white oak? What is a Swedish finish?

PRO

The floor was a three coat Swedish finish over natural red oak. Here's a good resource for floor finish options: http://www.artelcraft.com/hardwood-types/floor-finishes/

We are unable to locate the color as it was matched to the existing wall color by our painter.

Island Overhang

- Can you tell me the width of overhang at widest? Would love to duplicate on the end of our work island! Any additional details appreciated.

PRO
Tenhulzen Residential
The maximum overhang of a countertop material varies whether it is natural or man made. This soapstone material extends 12" at the edges, arched to 16" at the apex. Larger overhangs require a steel frame fastened to the top of the cabinetry.

Sink

- Where did you get the sink? Is there a name for the style? I like the angled front

PRO
Tenhulzen Residential
The shadow line from the hood vent is deceiving. The farmhouse sink is actually Kohler's K-3086.

Can you tell me the type wood used in the cabinets and stain? Love it!

PRO

The cabinets are a natural cherry in shaker style. We recommend plywood cabinet boxes and solid wood dovetail drawers with undermount full-extension glides.

How difficult was it to move the wall? Was it load bearing?

- How did you bear the weight of the second floor once you moved the wall back 3 feet?

PRO
Tenhulzen Residential
The addition required a new foundation and the upper floor that used to bear on the lower wall was replace by a beam. The result is an expanded lower floor roof that planed into the existing nook roof.

Love the backsplash

- Are the little grey tiles between the red ones also "canvas glazed porcelain" tiles? Thank you!

PRO
Tenhulzen Residential
The grey tiles in the red border and around the red field behind the hood are actually 3x3 soapstone to match the countertop.
