Tile sample

Here is a sample of the glass tile for the one wall where the sink and stove will be (where the windows are) and a small sample of the Silestone countertops we have chosen. 

The glass tile has clear, white, peridot, and smokey brown glass along side a stainless steel bar.  We are running the tile vertically to add to the height of the kitchen. We haven't picked a grout color yet, but I am almost positive it won't be a white. As you can see, the tiles are on a glass netting and come in 12 x 12 in sheets.  It should be fairly easy to put up-- all 24 linear feet of it.

The counter tops will also be the window sills and an attached circular table (opposite the cooker).   The color is called Amazon Grey and the material, Silestone, is really cool.  It is stain resistant, can take hot pans with out leaving a burn mark, and one don't have to use special cleaners for it. 

The color of the other walls is the same color we have in the living room, Pratt & Lambert's "Tobacco."  It is slightly darker than what is already in Will's office, actually.  The glass tile and counter top look great with that smokey brown-grey.   We haven't decided what exactly to stain the hardwood flooring we are putting down, but we are leaning towards a walnut finish.  Before you think that we will have such a dark kitchen, the cabinets are a creamy white.  Even though we got rid of three windows, we will still 10 windows in the whole space.  Plenty of natural light!

Would you believe Home Depot? And it is about $14.00 a square foot.

Home Depot, indeed! It comes in to two styles: the stainless bar (which we have) or a granite bar instead of the stainless. The glass bars are the same in both.
