The kitchen plans proceed (yay!). Meredith continues to spec some amazing pieces for our home and our kitchen cupboards will be built into beautiful pieces by Ottawa Valley Kitchens. I’m so looking forward to working with them and seeing what they build. But more on them in a later post.
Meredith sent us some hardware options and pendant selections. Oh this lady has amazing taste (and she’s reaffirming why I needed to work with a designer. There are so many options! How would I narrow them down usually?) We know that the island is going to be a grey colour and the cabinets white. We are leaning towards a white backsplash.
For hardware we could go a silver colour – something that is really nice and sharp (pewter perhaps even?) but now we are leaning towards a brass/bronze/gold look.
Since we are visual people, I took to Pinterest to find some inspiration for this look. And. Wow. I think this might definitely be the way to go. What do you think?

The yellow metal adds a real pop of colour to the grays/whites. I was surprised to see I like the look too!
I love the pendant lights, but I can’t say I am loving the color on the hardware. I think I would go with black hardware if choosing the lights. Something about brass hardware throws me back to the 80s….
Lisa I tend to avoid the shiny/polished brass too. We are looking at a more ‘aged’ looking brass/bronze style which I think I’ll be happy with!
I think the lamps in the second last picture are neat but I generally don’t like brass/gold hardware. Not sure what an aged bronze style is though. I think a black or dark pewter is nice.
When does the actual work begin?
Love these kitchen designs here and I guess a lot of people would be interested to have one like this too.. I just love the third one!
Nice post. I think I would go with black hardware if choosing the lights. Something about brass hardware throws me back to the 80s…. Thanks for sharing this post with us. Please keep it up.
Alison I am agree with you. Really the lamps are near. It should be a little far from surface. But I like the color of hardware and kitchen design.
I am planning this year to have a kitchen renovation and your kitchen designs are really spectacular. I want beautiful and new atmosphere kitchen area this year and I got a lot of ideas here. Thanks for sharing this one.
Oh, these kitchen design ideas are really awesome. The features of these kitchens are so advanced and all equipments are so modern.
