Cool White Kitchens

White Shaker-style cabinetry (combined with the white tile backsplash) keeps the look of this kitchen clean and creates the illusion of more space. Grounding the all-white look are dark granite counters, chrome hardware, and stainless steel appliances.

This compact kitchen feels larger than it is because of its color scheme of neutrals and whites. A large farmhouse sink and a breakfast bar give this kitchen its cottage charm.

A pair of industrial pendants from Belgium illuminates the oversized marble-topped kitchen island, which welcomes activities from slicing and chopping to doing homework. Large, upholstered kitchen stools are comfortable and look invisible next to the island.

 Ample brown barstools encourage kitchen visitors to linger. A copper vent hood makes the room appear taller by drawing the eye upward. A matching copper farmhouse sink is contrasted with a polished-nickel faucet and cabinet hardware. See how to get these kitchens looks and products at my home ideas.

Four Seasons Metals

I am excited to introduce you to the gorgeous, new custom hoods recently completed by Four Seasons Metals, fabricator of custom metal hoods, sinks, countertops, cabinets, and architectural elements. Made from copper with a special aged patina finish, this hood features brushed zinc accent strips to complement the client’s aesthetics and to create a design that is unique as well as elegant.

This copper and zinc hood was installed in an upscale residence in Knoxville, TN. It measures 48” in width to cover a large island range. In addition to the aged patina copper and brushed zinc, the hood features 4.75” copper crown molding at the top where it meets the ceiling and a faux painted wood wrap on the bottom to match the zinc accents.

Like all of Four Seasons’ hoods, this copper and zinc ventilation hood is a custom design brought to the company by one of many high end designers who rely on Four Seasons to turn their plans into reality.
