Open wood shelving

Q

Including wood detailing in kitchen to bring warmth and variation. Wood was reclaimed pine from home itself and refinished. Notice surround of frig, along w/ island detailed in wood.

Q

Photo

Love the countertop. Schist - a metamorphic stone with sufficient amounts of mica allowing the rock to split into thin sheets. Layered mica provides the shiny crystals that also reflect the light. Because the schist surface has been compared to a marble, some people wonder if the countertop will also etch like one. Calcium is what makes the stone acid etch but schist does not contain calcium. Honed finish bad. Leathered finish good.

Q

Photo

Open shelving. Kitchen hardware: Newport Brass. Love the satin brass and clean lines of handles and faucets. Notice 2 types of handles used - long pulls and short pulls.
