Berryberry finished kitchen
Comments (6)i've been looking at berryberrys backsplash. it's very pretty. her granite is similar. i'm not sure tile place carries it. DH won't wait for me to order something. got some samples today.tell me what you think: **this one has lighter stone: **this one has darker stone ** here they are side by side here's a pic of the kitchen with the floor then i would do diamond shape above. i think the stone on the left is too light (we put enhancer on it) but maybe it looks better when it's all together. the stone on the right is a bit dark. give me your honest opinion. i love the glass tiles, just wasn't sure if i was supposed to pull in any of the gray color of the counter....See MoreHelp pick a faucet for a small galley kitchen
Comments (13)Thanks everyone! @sjlhockeyfan - I am stumbling with the terminology here, but basically you understood what I meant - I don't want to have to hold the button to keep the spray flow engaged. @vinudev_liny: I've never heard anything but raves about the Hansgrohe Talis. My only hesitation is that the black buttons seem really prominent, and knowing me that will be the spot I stare at every time I open the front door! But it seems like a great buy and very reliable and functional. I need to get back to a showroom and look harder at the Grohe Concetto as @homepro01 suggested as well as the Delta Trinsic and some others that don't seem too gargantuan. It's hard because the more I look at online reviews, the more confused I am - the Hansgrohe Citterio has reviews that say it doesn't lock in spray mode. I'm oddly drawn to the Kohler Purist in the beautiful, beautiful kitchen of @fouramblues (hope it's okay to repost one of her pictures from another thread here). Although there too, the online reviews are mixed. I gotta stop reading this stuff! I went in wanting to have relatively few upper cabinets, and wound up with a lot, plus there's the whole sink not centered thing, so I wonder if a shorter faucet is better. @kitchen-reno, I'm feel relieved to hear someone else is in a similar boat, and I look forward to seeing your reveal! I'm definitely overthinking all these little decisions because most of the big decisions are already made, and I'm not absolutely certain we've done the right thing (despite years of consideration.) I'm restraining myself from revisiting those decisions by focusing on all the little details, which for better or worse seem ripe for obsession....See MoreBerryberry's Finished Kitchen
Comments (37)Gardenburgher - thanks. Glad things have gone well for you so far with BC Stone. I think you will be pleased - I know we were. Kompy - thank you. Its really nice to hear good comments like this from someone in the business - I really appreciate it. And yes, too bad the BS tile is not Dal-Tile (it would have been a whole lot cheaper - LOL). I really like Dal-Tile products alas, they didn't have anything we strongly liked for the BS. And given the size, it was the one area of tile I wasn't afraid to pay a higher per sq ft cost pluckymama, yvette and maydl - thanks for your kind comments...See Morekitchen sink recommendations
Comments (26)I spent $960 a few years go on my Kohler Whitehaven. Then I bought the grills - another $70. That was more than I intended to spend on a sink and I delayed my refresh to save up for it. The sink is a very hard working part of the kitchen, so I could justify spending that much - it was still less than my fridge in my ordinary kitchen. My last cast iron sink still looked good after 20 years, though it needed more frequent cleaning as time went on. It never chipped, though it is possible. The gills have been very helpful in keeping the sink looking good. In my sink there are two grills, so easy to wipe down and clean. I know some have one large grill. I have a single bowl with offset drain, but would have done a low divide if the smaller side / larger side had been reversed. It is an apron front and that might not be your style. I have never heard anyone have scratches on the front of the apron - it is hardier than a wood cabinet. I am short, yet my waistline is above the sink so no belt would scratch even if I wore one. I priced out my sink at several places and ordered it from build.com though Home Depot had the same price but there is not one close to me. The fireclay sinks are beautiful, but they can craze and chip - and it usually is not repairable. Often they have a guarantee, but you still need to pay the plumber to install....See More
