Does the hob size 3 ft , does the chimney size also be 3 ft or can I reduce it to 2ft? 3. I'm planning to have pull up shelf door on top of 2 ft * 2 ft with split folding there would be only one handle when you open the door the bottom door would sit on the top door. ---2ft tall unit ext-|| ---2 ft pull up ---|| 2ft chimney --|| --- 2ft pull up shelf--|| empty || window ----2ft tall unit--||---1.5 ft drawer --||------------3ft hob----------|| ---1.5ft drawer----|| --- 2 ft croner ----|| || || || || OR 4. Divide 8 ft equally among the 4 drawers , 2ft each and chimney 2 ft? thnanks in advance chand

Your choices don't flow well to me. The flooring in your photo is pretty (very dark...are you okay with it showing every footprint, smudge, and dust bunny? If so, that's fine). From all of your options there I would do white cabinets with the Himalaya White granite. But you said ignore the granite. :) I would go for the gray cabinets with white quartz everywhere in that case, but personally I'd worry about gray cabinets being very dated in a few years. Is there another quartz option that you could pair with the white cabinets that is light in color and maybe has some movement, like LG Bianco Drift?

'Pros' are that the finish looks sleek and seamless, especially when all the shutters are finished in the same colour. The 2 main 'cons' in the case of handle-less shutters is that 1. greasy finger marks can appear on the front face over a period of time. 2. there is a high probability of the user trying to pull at a shutter on the side where the hinge is. Handles allow the user to immediately see in which direction a shutter (or a pair of shutters) will open. If there are no handles, it is hard to tell and over a period of time the hinges could come loose. This is also the reason I don't fix the handles in the middle of the width. It was very fashionable to do that at one time, but it is just plain inconvenient

I wanted to use a shimmery pearl backsplash but it was problematic to install. Looking for something reflective. My island is deep blue (sea serpent by Sherwin-Williams), cabinets white with clear glass in second row uppers, fixtures, pulls and knobs all champagne bronze. Hoped to find something more exciting than white subway but I need help and fast so we can install the range hood and the stove!
