White Kitchen with Dark Leathered Granite and Ming Green Marble Mosaic Backsplash
Details from mpagmom on 11/17/2012

Introduction:
This was a new build completed in June 2012.
When I started planning my kitchen I was looking for a simple, quiet space with lots of natural light. In flipping through kitchen magazines I was always drawn to white cabinets with black honed granite countertops, but I didn't think it would be practical for my family. I went through phases where I wanted natural maple, then quartersawn oak, then gray painted, then dark stained wood, then back to quartersawn oak, and finally to white.
I've always liked marble and briefly considered a marble or marble-look quartz countertop. I ultimately decided I would rather have a solid black countertop with a marble backsplash.
My kitchen is completely open to the great room and dining area, but it was not that way in the original plan. It took me a long time to let go of any sort of wall or raised peninsula to separate it from the great room.
I'm glad I spent nearly a year planning my kitchen - the end result is so much better than it would have been.
Kitchen Highlights:
- Cabinets: Locally-made Amish painted white (it's their standard white)
- Countertops: Leathered Kodiak Brown granite
- Backsplash: Sunflower mosaic in ming green marble from Saltillo Imports (purchased from Caledonia Tile in Indianapolis) and AKDO 3/4"" x 3/4"" mosaic in ming green light (it's supposed to be all light, but there seems to be dark in there)
- Floors: White oak stained with Minwax Provincial and finished with satin polyurethane
- Walls: Sherwin Williams Comfort Gray
- Knobs and pulls: Restoration Hardware Lugarno knob in satin nickel and Restoration Hardware Asbury pull in satin nickel
- Faucets: Brizo Solna (loved the hidden pullout spray) standard and bar-size
- Sinks: Silgranit precis super single bowl and large bowl
- Stools: West Elm rustic counter stool
- Pendants: Kichler 2665OZ in olde bronze

White Kitchen with Glass Gothic Cabinets and Quartzite
Details from laurainlincoln on 9/13/2012
Link to laurainlincoln's Gardenweb finished kitchen post
Link to laurainlincoln's Finished photos
Introduction:
We live in a 1920's house that had a tiny kitchen and a poorly designed family room and garage that was added on at some point in the '70's. We lived in the house for about 7 yrs before working with an architect to improve the layout and move the kitchen (we also added a mater suite above and addressed the exterior of the addition so it blends more with the original home). The kitchen was so small, we simply added it on the our existing DR.
We moved the kitchen into the space that had been a 1970's family room and then added a family room to what used to be a (weirdly enormous) patio. Arches that mimic those in the front of the house connect the new part to the old. My overall approach was everything wood leans historical (gothic cabs, big moldings, chunky window trim, etc) and everything metal (faucets, hardware) leans modern.
The kitchen (and whole addition) was completed in 2010.
Kitchen Highlights:
- Cabinets - custom with glass uppers, painted SW Dover White
- Counters and Backsplash - Madre Perla Quartzite
- Sink - Stages 45'
- Faucets - Kohler Karbon
- Dishwasher - Bosch
