Kitchen colors and finishes

Some small problems have emerged. The new floor tile does not measure the same 16"X 16" that the existing floor tile does. We want to have unified tile across the two spaces, therefore, its not going to line up well, or the grout gaps will have to be larger. The project contractor cannot relocate the telephone outlet because there are too many wires connected, so we need to find a "telephone contractor" to move it.

The electrician reports that we have an obsolete electrical panel with latent flaws that are well documented on the internet. For safety's sake, we should replace it. Cost is probably about $1,000.

Here's some images of the colors and finishes. Below is the slate gray porcelain tile that will make up the countertops, and the blue glass mosaic tile that will be the backsplash. Contrast with the light oak wood finish of the new cabinetry.






We're suspending 4 solid bar nickel finish frosted white glass pendant lamps over the 6' X 6' island. There will be some halogen lights under the over-counter cabinets and one decorative fluroscent fixture with nickel trim on the ceiling. We still need to select and purchase cabinet fixtures and drawer pulls.
