Details:
- Cabinets: Custom made on site. All cabinets, including the island, are maple. The cabinets are painted BM Swiss Coffee OC-45. The stain on the island is one coat of walnut and one coat of ebony stain.
- Countertops: the perimeter countertops (kitchen and bar) are honed Danby Calcutta marble. The island is honed Milley Gray marble, with a butcher block edge. The butcher block is a place holder for walnut that is on order. The Calcutta is 3cm, but the Milley Gray was only available in 2cm, so we fabricated the edge.
- Backsplash: from Daltile: It’s Ahnzu 3x6 Artic Ice, Crackle AT112

- Hardware: from Home Depot Expo, but I think it’s pretty common (i.e. not too expensive) Hickory Hardware. http://www.homedecorhardware.com/hickory-p3010-14.html
- Flooring: floors are red oak. We had them refinished using one coat of ebony and one coat of toffee.
- Faucets: Danze, Schon
- Sink: Franke/Villeroy & Boch fireclay
- Appliances: Viking and GE
- I was worried about the space on both sides of the island, but they are fine.

I am considering marable as a countertop, how is your carrara holding up to daily use?
I was thinking of putting my MW over the lowered DO, but appliance people have tried to talk me out of it. The concern is that it is up too high for taking out hot foods/liquids.
Now that you have used it for awhile, have you had any issues. (I'm 5'5" and have two tween boys, but they will probably be taller than me by the time we ever finish our remodel...!)

Love your kitchen! I am also considering marble. How do you like yours and is it staining or etching much?
i know its been awhile...i am hoping you still are here...
would you mind sharing the dimensions of your kitchen? what is the wall length on each side?
Thank you so much!
