cabinets are done - pictures, including granite

14 years ago

I love these cabinets. I walk past the kitchen and look in and really really cannot believe this is mine. In my house.

The paint is being put up even as we speak. Of course i second guessed but went down to peek and it is lovely.

The backsplash is great and I am so in love with this granite.

Quite by chance the flow of the granite shows one rivulet ending by falling into the sink.

So here they are

I love your backsplash and also find it hard to take a picture of granite that shows it true. Good job!

Here is your picture... I'm not afraid to go a little darker/richer for a masterbath as long as there is natural light. You'd probably want to stay with a lighter paint color. I really like all of the materials that you've chosen but I'm a little hesitant about all three together because I'd be concerned that they would be competing for attention. With the movement in the tile and the dramatic granite, I'd probably skip the mosaic. That's what we did in our room because I really wanted my granite to be the showstopper. You might want to cross post your question and picture in the Home Decorating forum because that's a very active, helpful forum with great ideas. A picture of your room and/or layout would help people visualize your space too.

Thanks for looking. It is so cool each time a new design element is added to the bunch. I can see it all in my head and can't wait to see all done. breezygirl - the stone is Magma Supreme leathered granite. Got a steal of a deal on it because of that large fissure in it. The fissure was repaired and it turned off a lot of people. I love it. Adds character and I'm making sure it goes right across the middle of my butler's pantry where it is fully supported and very visible. :) rosegarden - That is indeed a Rachiele sink. If it wasn't packaged like the gold in Fort Knox, I'd have taken it out of the box tons of times just to look at it. But I have to be content with it sitting in my garage patiently waiting to be installed. CEFreeman - My kitchen isn't going to be one of those simple kitchens with clean lines. I'm really traditional and love worn, distressed furniture with cabriole legs and details. We're adding a peninsula to the kitchen and it will have a raised eating bar. The raised bar will be supported with a wall hidden behind cabinetry as well as the corbels. The one thing I don't have set in my mind is the exact shape of the bar. Going to have to play around with some cardboard templates and figure it out once the cabs and supporting wall are in. I can guarantee it will look traditional. SAND - the faucet is a Waterstone PLP 5500 in black ORB. It has a living finish so the black will wear through to a bronze finish.

I think my cabs are darker than yours. But you can look at a lot of kitchens in the finished kitchens blog and also at marble.com. My cabs are maple with SW Bronze Walnut stain. Granite is Emerald Pearl. It's not a great shot, but it's all I have uploaded at the moment that shows the cab and granite together. Here is a link that might be useful: Finished kitchens blog

This is one nice rental. We have a asymmetrical wall with a fireplace and a surround. My DH and I go round and round. I like the traditional surround and he does not. It turns out our fireplace is low clearance. What we both do not like is the 12 inch square around it. If a mantle is placed, it has to be a certain depth and height. Marble was there, wish our black tile was not there. We have considered placing the marble porcelain tile from the bath. We will have to make a decision soon cuz new flooring in the 1st level.

How exciting! I know what you'll be doing tonight...standing there just staring at the kitchen! Alternating between squeals of delight and contented sighs :-) Love your granite and oh, that tile on the backsplash is amazing. And you have one talented cabinet maker...

The tile pattern in front of the vanity is great! It looks like an area rug. Perfect!

thanks everyone -

gocelts - that was my intention with the mosaic tile. It is also the same mosaic above the stove in the kitchen

julie - you are correct. Evrytime i go past i just gaze and sigh in wonder and joy
The backsplash tile was inspires by the tile under the middle of the cabinet. i bought some of those 8 years ago while visiting South Africa with the intention of making a table.
It is a guinea fowl and has the green 7 yellow etc. i then chose the background to be the green with the random insertion of the brown & yellow.

Gorgeous, musicpic!! Your backsplash!!! WOW!! I LOVE IT!!

"It is a guinea fowl and has the green 7 yellow etc"

Not sure what all that means but I guess I can't get those tiles here, huh? Are they green because they would go perfectly with my granite.
