Comments (48)megaul: The windowsill is "attached" to the sill in the same way the countertop is "attached", i.e., using the same glue or epoxy the fabricators/installers used to attach the countertop below. Does that answer your question? They definitely templated for it when they did the template for the countertop. At that time, I specified how much I wanted it to extend past the sill lengthwise on either side. I wanted the sides of the sill to be flush with the edge of the molding, so we measured out how much overhang I wanted both ways, using the dimensions of the molding I had already selected. Make sense? So if you want that look, make sure you know the dimensions of your window molding before templating. Also, when you select your slab(s), make sure you have a pretty good idea of how big your sill is going to be, and if you want to allow for overhang, so you know if you have enough material for the sill, in addition to your counters.

Comments (2)I echo the praise of BM Matte! I had to scrub my kitchen/living room walls sooner than 30 days and it held up, plus touch ups after some new texture blended in well. If I'm remembering your post right and you had lots of kid traffic, though, I *might* be tempted to go up to BM eggshell. Might. Love the look of matte, though, so I might try it even with kids. The new Clark + Kensington is formulated with ceramic bead technology, too, as I'm sure are some other brands' new formulations. I've been fairly impressed by C+K so far (the flat enamel finish isn't quite as rich as the BM Matte, but quite nice for the price point), but I haven't had to scrub my flat enamel bedroom walls yet to offer personal testimony in that arena....See MorePaint finish/ flat or eggshell or ??
Comments (3)We recently painted a bathroom with the Aura Matte (the regular version, not the Bath and Spa, since it wasn't out/available in our paint store back in Nov), and I'll never go back! LOL LOVE the texture on the bathroom walls, and I've always preferred the AquaVelvet/Eggshell finish over Flat paint. This is a big reason why we are having our kitchen/LR/DR....repainted, two short years after they were done during our reno. I don't think the AquaVelvet holds up as well as it used to (at least here), and the texture doesn't look nearly as nice as the Aura Matte. The Aura Matte is supposed to touch-up and scrub up beautifully (trailrunner heartily endorsed it, so that was good enough for me!)....See MoreAny pictures of flat slab or flat panel kitchen cabinets?
Comments (2)Have you checked the Finished Kitchens Blog (FKB)? Click on the "FKB Categories" link on the right side of the page. Then, look for the "Kitchen Style" category in the "Kitchen Basics" section (the first section). Click on "Contemporary" and you will probably find some kitchens that meet your criteria. Good luck & HTH! Here is a link that might be useful: Finished Kitchens Blog...See Morenwduck
