Comments (4)wascolette, Love, love, love your kitchen. Your long wait was so worth it. One of my all time favorites on GW! I love how you combined the marble with the soapstone and the beautiful blue island with the yellow walls. Such a cheery and welcoming kitchen! Which wall tiles did you use for your backsplash? They are just perfect!...See Morequarzite bianca, white and grey kitchen
Comments (27)reminds me of a russian black and white cookie I've seen in montreal, where the black and white were just two large sections. In a (russian black and white) cake, you get these two colors, but interspersed in smaller segments. Your two ceramic pieces add to this two tone theme. your Riobel faucets at the main sinks have a dual-action spray that you activate by swiveling the handheld spray tip. you have great sources. many are so rare they make me feel like a botanist discovering new species. karndean vinyl, quartzite, riobel, pendants (make?), even the ikea panels and drawer fronts. let me know what your outlet covers will be....See MoreFinished Kitchen (+1 Year)- White / Marble / Mahogany / Soapstone
Comments (54)Beautiful kitchen!! I am just starting or should I say 6 months in the designing phase of a remodel. I have changed my mind so many times & very in decisive. I was sure I would go with a contemporary walnut slab cabinet. Changed my mind to white cabinets with the Calcutta marble with a wood island. It is really funny that I ran across your kitchen cause it has the x glass cabinets that I just decided on a few days ago and wood floors. I am meeting with the cabinet maker in a few days to go over the changes. After seeing your kitchen I am now sure I am making the right selections. I just voted for your kitchen, of course, it is the most stunning kitchen!!! Good luck!...See MoreWhite paint for kitchen cabs with Carrara marble
Comments (19)I looked at all of your helpful suggestions on the largest paint chips each store had available. Here's what I tried out with painted samples and how they looked with my marble: *White Dove--sickly yellow-green undertone *Gardenia--very pretty but had a slight peachy undertone *Mascarpone--too yellow *SW Snowbound--very close but had a slight pink undertone *a few of my own formula concoctions *color match to the Kraftmaid white cabinet sample door I haven't returned yet And then I finally tried Simply White. Winner!! It's perfect. Chantilly Lace was a very simple white, but too stark. Simply White is also a simple white and has a touch of yellow, but not enough to turn it yellow like Mascarpone. It's just warm enough not to look sterile, but not so warm it's yellow. And now I will use Simply White for all the trim in the main part of the house since every room is basically open to each other, and the trim on the cabs will run around the entire ceiling. Thank you everyone! Fori, Drjoann, Pps7--loved seeing your rooms again. (Fori, tell me again why you left that great space! ;))...See Moremichelle16
