Island counter color

Q

Product

RF Atomic Clock-Walnut White/Grey, Midcentury Modern Wood & Acrylic Wall Clock

Q

Buy for wall next to entryway to laundry area from kitchen!!!!!

Q

Beautiful wood cabinet color

Q

Photo

Would be awesome to have an inlet like this that we could hide when not in use. Not necessary but fun. Preference would be to have as many appliances readily available on the counter with a little door cover to keep them out of sight when not in use: blender, coffee maker, can opener(?), seed/bean grinder

Q

Photo

Beautiful wood. Thinking this would be too dark though... for our home

Q

Photo

LOVE BACKSPLASH with NO grout!! I hate grout. I don’t want to be a slave to cleaning my grout.

Q

Photo

I like my spices in drawers like this.

Q

Photo

I like big drawers (behind cabinet doors) for big items like pots, etc

Q

Photo

I like this idea, unless there’s a more efficient organizational method.

Q

Photo

REALLY wanting our trash cans — including recycle bins — hidden away like this.

Q

Photo

Do NOT NOT like heavy gray veining in backsplash

Q

Photo

***HIDDEN APPLIANCES that are still easily accessible!!***

Q

Photo

Countertop and backsplash materials!!!!!

Q

Photo

1) LOVE white counter top with understated gray veining. 2) DIGGING the gray glossy backsplash AND stainless appliances!!!

Q

Photo

LOVE long window that does NOT open. I’m now liking the shallow open shelving above window. Is that cabinetry above it?... or a header???

Q

Photo

DON’T LIKE: 1) All the gray veining. I prefer lighter, less pronounced veining.

Q

Photo

LIKE: 1) Matching counter & backsplash 2) Long window at sink 3) John likes open cabinet above sink/window. I DON’T.

Q

Photo

LIKE: 1) CABINETRY: a) couple (or more?) glass-front cabinets, preferably FROSTED, non-patterned or vertical reed pattern glass. b) simple lines (but no farmhouse style) 2) Wood beams framing/defining kitchen. Preference: fine grain, non-painted wood like walnut — stained to match west wall paneling. 3) Flooring: a) shade of gray b) stone look c) preference: single shade of gray, not tans & grays as appears in this photo d) larger size tiles (I hate grout) — I also square-shaped tile. e) texture (we don’t want slick floors that may encourage slip-n-falls) 4) Countertops: a) LOVE the look of island (subtle gray veining) + dark gray sink counter b) dull, not shiny, finish 5) overall look of white cabinets w/ some wood accents in kitchen 6) Sink: a) NO large farmhouse sink. b) Prefer under-counter mount. c) Prefer 2 sinks: one ‘normal’ sink w/ a divider between 2 sinks and a single sink on island. 7) Stainless steel appliances (white may be ok, especially if stainless is ridiculously high-priced; no black) DON’T LIKE: 1) Light fixtures. Prefer lighter color, perhaps white George Nelson bubble lamps. 2) Farmhouse features.

Q

Photo

Beautiful countertops. I prefer minimal veining that doesn’t stand out and that doesn’t look too busy.

Q

Photo

WOW. LOVE the kitchen with window looking out to backyard and w/ cabinetry above window area. Would like higher eye-level window with cabinets not hanging so low.

Q

Photo

Not keen on shiny white cabinetry.

Q

Photo

I like LARGE wall art.

Q

Photo

I like cabinet color. Don’t like busy area rug. Don’t like green lighting. Don’t like different color counter tops.

Q

Photo

I like George Nelson pendant lighting for dining/great room area... possible kitchen, as well (if not too redundant(?)).

Q

Photo

I like: 1) white backsplash tile size & shape —> simple, clean 2) Stainless appliances. 3) 6-burner high-end stove I DON’T like large single sink. I prefer at least 2-3 smaller sinks.

Q

Photo

I’m digging this kitchen, but with some sort of mid century modern hanging lighting. I like the barstools, too.

Q

Photo

I don’t like faucet placement on wall. I prefer normal faucet placement on countertop.

Q

Photo

Hate this. Too many different colors. Too busy.

Q

Photo

Wow. I like this color cabinetry with the shiny dark gray countertop and light gray flooring and white-ish backsplash. BUT, I DON’T want teeny tile back splash. I hate hate hate grout.

Q

Photo

I like: 1) wood cabinet color, fine grain, clean look. 2) clean white counter too & backsplash 3) recessed lighting 4) island with same coloring as kitchen (I don’t like islands that are a different color/material than remainder of kitchen 5) looks like Herman Miller hanging lamp in foreground

Q

Photo

I like the color/texture/grain of these kitchen cabinets. Not sure if this would work with our decor?.... but I think it might. Love the clean look. I don’t think it looks sterile or stark, though. I don’t want sterile n stark.

Q

Photo

INTRIGUING BACKSPLASH!!!!! Love the color & gentle, swirling lines.

Q

Photo

Love the color of cabinets and counter along with lighter gray painted walls.

Q

Photo

SLAB BACKSPLASH!!!!!!! ... that matches countertop. NO GROUT!!! YAY YAY YAY!!!

Q

Photo

Drawer divider system seems to be a 'MUST'!!!!

Q

Photo

DIGGIN' THE DEEP DRAWERS!!

Q

Photo

Definitely interested in the 'pro-style gas range'!!!!

Q

Photo

A thought ..... STEAM CONVECTION OVEN

Q

Photo

Something to consider: a hidden range hood. However, this seems like it'll hike up the price, and we really don't NEED a hidden hood.

Q

Photo

LOVE THIS IDEA: DRAWER DISHWASHERS!! especially when it's only John n me!!

Q

Photo

DEEP SINK.

Q

Photo

COUNTER-DEPTH REFRIGERATOR!! Sounds appealing.

Q

Photo

Beautiful QUARTZ countertop!!

Q

Photo

Love these super clean lines!

Q

Photo

I like the dark slate-colored tile floor with the light/white countertop. I'm thinking we'll have a light gray (lighter than Mindful Gray) in the kitchen and on ceiling. I'm intrigued by this lighter color wood, but I'm not convinced yet.... BUT, still intrigued!

I like the colors: the wood with the gray and the white countertop w/ gray veining. I don’t want such obvious, thick gray veining. But I am leaning toward a white countertop with some gray veining. I like these colors together, but I’m just not quite sure what I want for my kitchen. I’m leaning toward a similar color wood cabinet, as of Feb 18, 2018.

Q

Photo

Totally digging the wavy tile. I like the light gray color and the soothing flow of the waviness. I don’t like the obvious grain in these cabinetry. I like the pulls. I don’t like that shiny wallcovering above oven and stove. Yuck.

Q

Photo

Beautiful!! Gray floors. Love wood cabinet color

Q

NEED THIS!!!!!

Gray floor, wood color cabinetry, whites. Wood grain on cabinetry is way too obvious. I want to put more subtle in the area of grain

Wood cabinets. Black top (Academy black!!) in background. White-ish top on island.

Love pulls. Cabinet texture is CLOSE to what I’d like (smooth, fine grain) but way too red. Love white counter. **I don’t like sharp corners on island top** Prefer softly rounded corners for safety purposes for children.
