Doing a quick search I could not find what I'm seeing in my mind's eye ... but I'm thinking crystal pulls with nickel accents, but mostly clear crystal (or glass). This isn't quite it, but close. This one is more old-fashioned, so not exactly what I have in mind, but again, I really like the elegant clear pull with the polished nickel small accent. I have to go to sleep so I cannot search anymore, but I hope someone pipes in with something delicious for you!

I need a picture of painted crown meeting stained crown on cabinets. Thanks

Center the first tile in the middle of the stove and work right to left off that one. Due to grout you end up with sliver? I think all you can do is adjust the grout a bit to avoid the slivers. As for the end. I like the second picture where you continue the shorter up to the back wall and paint the area behing under the cabinet. I know that the small tiles on the ends of the wall may bug you now but after install you will not notice them. No one will. I installed my tiles in front of fireplace incorrectly, not centered. This cause tile on right to extend 2" farther than the left side. Not one person, even on close inspection, has noticed this. I also installed a slate floor tile wrong at base of stairs. Was staggering pattern like you but for some reason installed the slivers that ended up hitting stairs side by side. Not one person has noticed. But they are all fun reminders to me when I really, really think about it.

The duct cover for the Zephyr is 10.5" wide by 10.5" deep. Cat_mom's does look a bit beefier. I was thinking about doing the white oval glass tiles just under the cabinets and to the bottom of the hood, then having a light to medium blue paint behind the hood and above the cabinets. I probably shouldn't rush the hood decision with several months to go before project completion. I just hate to pass up a deal, LOL. As of yesterday, I have purchased the fridge column, range, steam oven and undercounter wine fridge, which will soon be sitting in our garage. We don't even have bids from contractors yet (other than custom cabinets), but we have to do the kitchen now. DH likes that I have at least made some decisions and we are more locked into my last design now that appliances of a certain size have been ordered. I have fallen in love with slabs of white quartzite with blue veining, although I will not purchase those until we have a GC and counter sub hired so I can get pricing and they can verify my counters will fit on the 2 slabs. I have been trying to schedule a meeting with the architect for the last few weeks so we can get revised drawings and move onto the bid phase. He seems to have lost some interest in the project since I didn't immediately accept his proposed layout of how our house should look.
