Uptown Kitchen

Bold rooms need quiet stone.

This Uptown kitchen has a lot going on: a hand-painted peacock wall, a black and brass range hood, and two glass chandeliers. The countertops had to hold their own without fighting any of it.

We went with a white quartzite for both islands, with a thick mitered edge that makes each top read like a solid block of stone. The soft gray veining ties the white perimeter cabinets to the dark islands below.
