What do you think? Kitchen idea
This is NOT our kitchen but the configuration of our kitchen
Frig goes into the space on the right and center island is across from double sink and D/W to the right. Door by the would-be frig is the pantry and the formal dining room is at the back of this pic.
The breakfast area has a built in desk + cabinets. The desk is along the same side as the sinks.
ETA - HATED IT  We spent hours looking at cabinet combos tonight and HATED the idea I have been looking at for weeks. It's totally different in person
* Back to the drawing board* But keeping the dark slate flooring. 
My cabinet color and flooring idea but configured for our kitchen
We would also do stainless appliances but not the backsplash pictured. Wall color would likely be BM - Manchester Tan with Super White trim.
Anyone have slate flooring Pros cons to slate flooring

Re: What do you think? Kitchen idea
That would be beautiful.
My parents have slate in their den - I HATE IT. It's always so cold in there - even with the fireplace and the floor is very hard on your feet/legs.

Re: What do you think? Kitchen idea
That all looks and sounds great but why is the stove facing that direction? 
Love the TV too

You know, I have been looking at these two pics for weeks and never noticed the stove faces a weird direction. Maybe the kraftmaid layout has sinks or something behind the stove
Kind of seems like a table is there thoughwith that rug Strange

That is a concern, that the stone is hard on the legs.

Slate is also extremely slippery when it gets wet - something else to keep in mind.

I thought it was the opposite - that it absorbs moisture so its really good when it gets wet and doesnt get slippery? Maybe there are different types?

Slate flooring is difficult for liquids to penetrate. The surface is rough so it has slip resistance.
You may mean honed slate That could be slippery when wet.

Re: What do you think? Kitchen idea
That stove looks awful built into the cabinet! Why wouldn't the kitchen designer of that show kitchen pick something more practical and go with a cooktop and built under stove? Honestly, some people!

Re: What do you think? Kitchen idea
I didn't think the stove looked that bad, it would definitely be easier to replace if something broke. I don't like the way it's facing though, it should face the fridge and sink.
I like the second kitchen much better than the first.

Re: What do you think? Kitchen idea
Its beautiful. Can you rotate the island 90 degrees so you have a nice work triangle with the stove facing into the sink and fridge?
