Those stools are nice. Do not like the lights (might be ok if it was clear glass not the weird black/gray glass)

Q

Photo

Something like this for bathroom/kitchen cabinet pulls

Q

Photo

I like the gray stain. I think Brian would prefer something with a little more brown and I think that makes sense.

Q

Product

Uptown 7-Light Island, Satin Platinum

Q

Consider something like this for the kitchen -- a little bit of interest in the way the 7 lights go up and down

Q

Photo

Like the light. Stylistically this is an interesting look. Pinned light as well for reference.

Q

Product

4-Light Trestle Fixture in Brushed Nickel Finish

Q

Worried that this doesn't hold its weight enough in our space -- so we should probably consider a more boxed linear pendant

Q

Photo

Another conceptual idea? Brian also likes the idea of this as well

Q

Photo

Like: Linear pendant. Dislike: chairs too formal/traditional.

Q

Photo

Like: Stain color

Q

Photo

Stain color

Q

Photo

This is the look I'd like to aim for if it was just me -- color palette wise and the lights are neat. Nice straight edged cabinet pulls. Interesting that the island electrical pulls are black (to not attract too much attention I assume?). Brian will want darker floors.

Q

Photo

Like: Light above dining space (could work on our kitchen). Actually like the rug and the table as well for our dining space. Mix of chair types. Probably don't want rug in dining space but maybe a nice living room rug.

Q

Photo

Like: Tuxedo look

Q

Stain color

Photo

Crisp black and wood shelves

Q

Photo

Could do a green tile backsplash

Q

Photo

Like: Wood island - and some whites

Q

Photo

This color combo

Q

Photo

Like: oak base white tops

Q

Photo

Like: griegy goodness

Q

Photo

Like: I like this look for the kitchen. Black and White is pretty classic. This also has the wood open shelving.

Q

Photo

Like: Stainless steel behind stove and marble and dark island

Q

Photo

Like: Open shelving plus dark island

Q

Photo

Dark island with marble and backsplash behind stove.

Q

Photo

Like: Rug, colors. Dislike: Too much gold. Not a fan of gold pulls

Q

Photo

Like: Backsplash

Q

Photo

Like: Wooden island and interesting backsplash

Q

Photo

Like: Hybrid -- wooden full sets and white everywhere else

Q

Photo

Like: This is the wood island color I think Brian and I could agree on.

Q

Photo

I like this look - is the gray too dated though in the future? Perhaps a wood island instead and tile to match

Q

Photo

Dark island, marble stone on top, gray counter for rest. Not sure about the kitchen island lights or the furniture but the the rest of this look is what we are aiming for.

Q

Photo

Wood look but doesn't seem "dark" even w/o lots of windows/light

Q

Photo

Both have lights - dining table is more of a statement

Q

Photo

Interesting way to store appliances

Q

Photo

Island as a wood plank base

Q

Photo

Light would be cool. If we do wood, this is how I'd want it to look - tuxedo look

Q

Photo

Tiny set of open shelving in corner, if needed

Q

Photo

Stainless steel back .. is it easier to maintain?

Q

Photo

Pop of blue is fun and the wooden shelf on one side

Q

Photo

Interesting color combo

Q

Photo

I wouldn't mind something like this - dark bottoms, modern cabinets, light tops. I also like the windows above the cabinets for more light but I suspect we don't have the ceiling height for that

Q

Photo

Lights might be a little big but style is nice. Wood island look is nice

Q

Photo

Like the wood and black accents. Do not like the lights above the sink.

Q

Photo

If we do a wood kitchen, I think doing a really nice pure white waterfall island would help with my concerns around being too dark. The island is lovely here.

Q

Photo

possibly useful for the odd corner near the angled wall

Q

Photo

white/gray combo, lights over island Brian likes. Marble is too veiny for Belinda's taste.

Q

Photo

Backsplash

Q

backsplash, lights over island

Part of me likes the stainless steel on the side + the marbley island (and pop of color painted on the back of the island). Maybe a little too modern/contemp though?

Q

Photo

Hmm, stainless steel island top?

Q

Photo

I could be convinced to do this as well. Or maybe just a marble island top. Like the light backsplash

Q

Photo

If not a wood base for the island, the shiplap backing is really neat as well

Q

Photo

{like}Darker wood island + white everything else. {bleh}Do not the round bit on the island. Interesting way though to add the height and use the space though.

Q

Photo

* Like the wood planks on the island * Not sure about open glass cabinet * Like pendant light layout (but not the exact lights here -- the extra bit is weird)

Q

Photo

Interesting that the stove is over window? Fun tile pattern

Q

Photo

Fun, light and airy

Q

Photo

If we want to pick a color rather than go gray, this is fun. I think though that I would prefer a more generic gray/white and use accents to add color...

Q

Photo

Like this look and feel with the gray island and the multi colored backsplash tile.

Q

Photo

Butcher block tops add wood touch to kitchen -- not 100% sure how I feel about butcher block top

Q

Photo

Light tops, dark bottoms. Add pops of color with the chairs.

Q

Photo

Like the back splash and grey cabinets

Q

Photo

I really adore the blue island

Q

Photo

I know Bri is interested in "wood" look -- if we want to go wood, this is the type of wood I'd want. Not sure it's what he wants. :)

Q

Photo

That backsplash is neat

Q

Photo

This is kinda fun -- a mix of brightness with some pops of color.

Q

Photo

Broad picture great -- layout nice and may be similar to what we'd want in our space.

Q

Photo

* Backsplash is nice * Flooring is lovely * Beam exposed is interesting (not sure we have the height for it) Island is nice

Q

Photo

Storage unit above the stove is neat

Q

Photo

Another fun way to store and keep appliances hidden and organized Not sure about the glass on top (also our house likely doesn't have the ceiling height for it)

Q

Photo

I like the look of the dark when it's just the window type cabinets. Adds a little darkness w/o adding too much

Q

Photo

Not sure how I feel about *all* dark counter tops. Like it for just an island or just a back area though. All of it feels a bit too much

Q

Photo

A whole lot of lights -- especially if we can't do can lights and we need a way to bring in more light at night in a fun way
