What Countertop Would Look Good In This Kitchen (Pic.)
Comments (8)Try a light colored granite. If you want to go more traditonal, (since the kitchen is very traditional) how about marble? My granite is light colored but with lots of movement. I wouldn't recommend it since it would be competing with your cabinets. It would be too busy. I would stick with the creams with not a lot of movement for the counters. You could always go with quartzite as well since they have one that looks like marble but is a harder substance. Here is a picture of the quartzite. Also, although it is dark, there is Beleza honed granite carrera marble another beautiful granite without too much movement but it still might be a bit much...See MoreWhat would look best in MY kitchen?
Comments (23)I'm glad you included photos of the adjoining rooms. You have a lovely home with lots of character. I love the arched doorways & that pretty hallway. With the interest of your adjoining rooms & your dark wood floors, I think you can pull off all white cabinets, a white island & white countertops. Add glass uppers as suggested above and a new backsplash. The wetbar appears to be separated from the kitchen? If yes, I'd consider something totally different with the wetbar - not sure what. A countertop microwave wouldn't bother me & you have a nice corner for it. I have white perimeter countertops & white cabinets. I don't find that it's too much white with accessories & backsplash. I have a second larger white island that separates the kitchen from the family room (you have your wood table & chairs). Even though it has more detailed moldings & a beautiful dark walnut top, I much prefer the look of the white top on the other island. That was a total surprise to me because I put a lot of thought into the design of the wood topped island. Are you planning to add a hood above your cooktop? I am also a big fan of the "weird tiny windows." You've got a great space for your dream white kitchen....See MoreWhat type of nightstand would look good?
Comments (2)That's look nice. Would that need to be screwed into the wall? if so, I don't think I'd be allowed to do that....See MoreWhat pendant lights would look good over kitchen island?
Comments (26)how much space between the pendants. Ann, in both comments I mentioned a guide up in my first comment. I guess you keep missing it? here it is again,,,with 3 others. these should give you the needed spacing to choose pendants. while you can play around w/the distance between them, the height should be right at 30" or so, with no more than 36" from the countertop. Since you're going smaller, you don't have to do the 30" between. smaller sized pendants can be a tad bit closer 7" is a mini pendant and far too small to use over your island. shoot for 10-14"...See Morejrbwalley
