A different view of this open kitchen, with the family room off to the side. The great eat-in, raised bar seating helps make the kitchen the gathering spot of the home. The Walker-Zanger backsplash tiles - weave stix, in Pacific Glass - are very striking and the color is almost iridescent, depending on time of day and lighting. The dark countertops are a nice contrast to the wood cabinets and are made with a leathered Virginia Mist Natural Granite. The raised seating bar has a 2 ½” mitered edge, so that it appears to be 2 ½’ thick. The kitchen floor is a porcelain tile, in a travertine look. All together, a very striking kitchen, with coastal undertones...perfect for an island setting.
