Background:The kitchen is an entirely new addition to the house. The "old kitchen" (I'll always call it that - haha) is open to the new. If you look at the first photo where the wine fridge is, the opening is to the right. I was strategically taking photos since a corner of that room is a storage area of sorts, so I was trying to get as little of the mess as possible! The side opposite the sofa is actually French doors and 2 windows/bookcases on either side
The ceilings are 9 ft. tall.
The toe kicks are actually stainless - it's simply a very thin layer of stainless steel over wood, rather than solid stainless. The tiny lights in the island toe kick are called plinth lights in the UK, but I couldn't really find a comparable term for the US! I initially found them in British design magazines and had to have them. They serve no useful purpose really and are simply decorative :) They look nice at night with the other lighting dimmed.

Details:
- Cabinets: All custom by a local shop here on Long Island, applied moulding/raised panel doors. The perimeter is maple with a MDF center panel...based on the cabinet maker's recommendation to avoid the usual cracking with an old house, non-air conditioned. That was a BM color, ?? grey, can't remember the exact color name but I could look it up, and they are treated with a brown glaze. The island, 4x8, is solid cherry with mahogany stain.
- Granite: Wild Sea from ABC Stone based in Brooklyn, also in Westbury where we found our slabs.
- Wall Color: BM Sag Harbor Grey
- Backsplash: Florida Tile 3x6 in Parchment
- Leaded Glass: Andersen Art Glass Diamond Lights
- Island Stools: Awesome deal from Ballard last summer- $79. each!
- Handles: Baldwin Melon series in Satin Nickel
- Appliances: Thermador Pro Harmony 36" all gas range, SubZero 736TCI refrigerator, Dacor electric/pure convection wall oven and microwave, Miele dishwasher, Best by Broan 42" island hood, Everpure water filter system under sink.
- Faucet: Rohl/Perrin and Rowe with filtered water tap and soap pump
- Sink: Franke GNX 120: It's a huge double sink. Left is 10" deep, right is 7" deep. I have no problems with splashing, in fact I think the faucet is just so perfectly designed that the water seems to fall in the perfect place. I know that sounds strange but it's such a difference from the Moen down in the basement into my other 10" deep sink. Splashes all over the place!
- Floor: 5" wide plank red oak. You see in the pics how we transitioned from old to new. It's one of my favorite parts of the renovation!
- Ceiling Fan: From HD
We expanded from what was two rooms: kitchen and glass-surrounded breakfast room. (previous owners enclosed the porch and put a real foundation under it as an extension.) The breakfast room, which housed the west wall of the house making it literally unbearable all summer, is what convinced us to make it all one room with much less glass. The new space became 20 x 15, all kitchen. We got rid of the kitchen table, but we have a dining room on the north side of the house. The kitchen and DR are separated by a 42" high half-wall which we treated with matching wild sea granite. That half-wall has KM natural oak cabinets which open into the DR. They don't match but they blend into the floor so it's all good.
