The charm of tomatoes ripening on a window ledge can't be beat. Makes me miss having a kitchen window. . .enjoy. . .it is gorgeous.

Atsmith, the sponge holder was another idea I copied from someone on the forum, not sure who now, but it came from Lowe's. The over-cab lighting are dimmable fluorescents, my DH's project. We removed perfectly good ballasts (?) from HD light fixtures and installed dimmable ones that he ordered. They make a LOT of light and I always dim them.

Octoberdana, the frig and DW were pre-existing and I worried how they would go with the SS but I think it turned out OK.

Cabinets by Shiloh Cabinetry - Can�t say enough good things about these cabinets. Our complicated order arrived on time, exactly as ordered, finish is perfect and gorgeous.

Cooktop, oven and warming drawer are all by GE Profile. GE Profile wall oven mounted under cabinet has convection. GE Profile gas cooktop

Refrigerator and Dishwasher, Kenmore, pre-existing

Sinks are both by Elkay. The main sink - ELU281610, Coffee bar sink - ELU1113

Faucets - American Standard "Culinaire" at the main/prep sink, and Delta "Victorian" at the coffee bar sink.

Backsplash - would appreciate ideas and suggestions

Flooring is called "Sandstone Light" by Amtico.

Lighting: under-cabinet xenon, over-cabinet dimmable fluorecents, 4 halogen cans

Counters are Bianco Romano granite on the perimeter and Empress Green "green marble", i.e., serpentine, on the island and two hutches.

Fireplace/gas logs are made by Lopi Stoves, "Looking Glass" model.

Things you might not otherwise know:
Windowsills are by Corian "Glacier White"
GE Profile Cooktop JGP6752EK1ss has 18,000 BTU dual stacked burner
Gas Logs can be turned on by a toggle switch. They are a definite focal point when friends and family come over, generate a lot of heat, and still work when the power goes out
Fluoroescents are dimmable.
Tall crown molding hides duct work for Vent-a-hood.
"Before" kitchen had a dropped ceiling and beams added for a country French look. I loved the beams, but they had to go when we restored the original 10 ft + ceiling.
The breakfast table light fixture is from our Early Marriage period and has been in every house we�ve lived in 35 plus years..

And did I mention I would like suggestions for the backsplash?

Thanks :)

In fact, all of the photos in no particular order are in my Photobucket album. Skip to page two to avoid non-kitchen photos.

And I love your pups too - they have the sweetest faces! (I have been trying to talk DH into a greyhound as a companion to our corgi.)

Currently, my favorite backsplash is ArtTeachers...Her kitchen is posted in the finished kitchens blog. I think a border tile with a warm tumbled marble or travatine with perhaps the green marble corner accents would pull all your colors together.

I am inordinately fond of that green marble and white granite....

CORRECTION on the Model number of the cooktop; should be JGP975SEK - ss
