Hi Christie,
The amount where the stools tuck in is 12″. I love that the stools tuck into it!
Hugs, Jamie

Hi Christie,
Can you tell me what the added amt you added for the island countertop where the stools go? I have room for the same size but need to see how much more for the overhang is for the stools. Mine will have to be a peninsula because I don’t want to give up my walk-in pantry.

Hi Christie,
I love the grey grout with the subway tile, still not tired of that look! I chose black handles and grey grout in that kitchen and for my new kitchen I just wanted to do something different from the last. I chose bronze handles and just wanted white grout. Both are a great choice!

I came across this post while trying to find sources for your 2014 kitchen renovation. I noticed you went with white grout this time, is there a reason you didn;t go with the grayish grout you used back in 2014? I am wanting a light colored grey grout for my backsplash but wondering if I will grow tired of it. Also do you have a source post from your 2014 reno? I would love to find those pulls and knobs!

HI Sandee,
Then sheen on the walls is all flat. I think flat or eggshell (satin) is nice depending on how marked up your walls are. Flat hides a lot! The sheen on the cabinets and trim is semi-gloss. I used all the same color throughout my house (BM Simply White except the kitchen island) but the sheens set them apart.
Hope this helps!
Hugs, Jamie
