Finished Kitchen~White, Marble, Soapstone
Hi all.
A huge thank you to everybody on this forum who helped graciously with advice, photos, experience & info. What an incredible resource this is. Shout outs to Erikanh & marthavila for hood help, willowdecor for tile, all the stoners, and many more.
We moved in last week-bottom trim on fridge & dw are still missing, excuse the messy bottoms.
I'll be happy to provide details if anyone wants them.
Thanks for looking!

99% Finished Kitchen--creamy white w/soapstone
Comments (156)Beautiful, cozy, elegant! My black soapstone just came in. My cabinets are a very light maple shaker style. Appliances all Stainless steal. I will have an island. It's time to paint my newly sheet rocked walls. I'm leaning toward white with a different white for trim and ceilings but there are so many whites I can't decide. I am worried about making it too cold and sterile. Also thinking of a very slight gray perhaps on one walls. The kitchen has decent light but not great. The entry near sliding door has raja slate. I do not have high ceilings but they are 11 ft. It is not completely open to living room but partially open to dining room. Backsplash will be white sub tile. Any suggestions for paint color. We like clean, crisp, minimalist looks with straight lines but also cozy. Thanks for any suggestions!...See Moresoapstone and marble in same kitchen
Comments (30)I lost the message I was typing, but I will try to get some new photos soon. I haven't taken any since the counters were in but the backsplash wasn't (like the next day) My camera got dropped and lost the focus. I have a new one, but it has had an issue and I just haven't had the time or patience to deal with it. I am still swamped, but I have enlisted my son to help with the camera and will call the kitchen folks to get that silly panel over the hood and the rest of the trim finished off so I can take my "finished" photos. We still have an exterior door to replace, but I need to find one. The contractor we parted ways with ordered exactly what we said we didn't want and that's still in my garage. :( The link below is to the only photo I have that shows the black granite and a bit of the marble. I will try to get new ones soon, but no promises. I have 2 computers down, my washing machine died (so did the AC in the car, but that was a one day fix), one son needs to have several teeth pulled and surgery scheduled and my DH is due to have surgery end of summer or so. I still haven't recovered from having my powder room ripped out and the slab jack hammered to repair a plumbing spearation. And Mom and Dad need more all the time. To be honest, I don't even notice the missing panel now, but everyone else does. I need to get it done. It's on the list, just no flames to put out right now, if you know what I mean. Here is a link that might be useful:...See Morewhite kitchen soapstone marble backsplash
Comments (20)Absolutely gorgeous, gruellie. I actually think the dings are a nice touch in your otherwise pristine new kitchen. I also love the proportions of your kitchen. Could you share the dimensions, including height, please? Thanks and heartiest congratulations....See Moremarble & soapstone installed today! photos
Comments (36)Hi Katie, I see that your post was from 2009 and here it is 2011 and I LOOOOVE your kitchen. I just found a slab of Statuario marble that I love and was going to leave deposit on Wed.. I was wondering how your marble is holding up? Would you choose marble for island again? I have 2 girls 8 and 11 and don't want to go crazy with upkeep. My island is same size as yours...8-4 and half and I too am using soapstone. I live in MA as well. Were you happy with your fabricators? What kind of edge did you get on island...also what did you use for backsplash? any finished photo's to share. THANKS so much! Sheila O'...See Morekatieob
14 years agoHi
Thanks for the comments & warm words.
Lori~ Kitchen dimensions are (very) roughly 15 by 12.
Island is 8 by 5 with 4 stools and a 20 inch seating overhang. Ours is definitely a monster, but I love the size.sherri 09~ I went back & forth on the stain/painted white stair question. I am happy with the stain b/c it kind of grounds the light/open foyer. But, I still love the look of all white stairs. Maybe when sticky, little hands are no longer grappling the railing...
pps7~ The newel post is 8 inches & the spindles are 2 inches.
Here's a few more stair photos as requested:
