plastered ceiling to replacethe grid ceiling shown here. wewill take you on full tour of the new kitchenlater in this episode, butfirst when we come back from a short break we welcome atile expert and take a look atthe second remodeled kitchen featured on this weeksepisode of the village homeshow. if your kitchen needs a littleenhancement learn how our diodel.e.d. system of under cabinetlighting can illuminate thesurfaces of your kitchen for both task and ambientlighting. our expert staff canhelp you estimate and select the perfect lightingplan with these products. thissystem has quickly become a customer favorite and yesthey are dimmable. whetheryou're shopping for that onelight

backsplashes that are tilesthat look like wood or metaltiles. um, a lot of the ones that weredoing now seem to be more 3x6 either in a pop front coloror just really neutral clean timeless backsplash as well.elizabeth: yeah just thattimeless look that white subway tile we see it so muchand it's such a greatinvestment cause it looks greatforever. um speaking of the investmenthow is tile typically pricedout? angela: tile is typicallypriced out by the square footor per piece depending on thestyle of the tile. elizabeth: ok and if acustomers interested in lookingat some tile backsplashes and getting a quote what shouldthey do? angela: they wouldcontact one of our flooringdesigners
and we'd be able to set up atime to make some tileselections they can bring indimensions of their backsplash or we'd beable to set up an in-homeconsultation to where we can come out, do themeasurements and give an ideaof pricing that way as well.elizabeth: yeah and it helps you to see the space asalso. well thank you so muchangela for stopping by and talking about kitchen tilebacksplashes and some of themany options we have for them.

to many of you they look a lotlike a current kitchen of yours or perhaps many of the ones youvisited in the area. thiskitchen was remodeled from the floor to ceiling byvillage home stores and we'reexcited to show you around. brand new maple hardwood hasbeen installed throughout and gives a warmth to the newkitchen in a way that could notbe matched with any tile orlaminate. new interior doors and trimwere also installed to keep all of the wood finishes in asimilar wood tone throughout. birch wood cabinetry in aseneca doorstyle and briarwoodstain with a black accent are paired perfectly withcambria quartz countertops inthe
blackwood design. on the sinkwall what truly grabs yourattention is the tile on the wall. it is a goodthing were talking aboutbacksplash tile on this episode because here is awonderful example of one thatmakes a big impact. this cappuccino linear mosaictile is illuminated by ourdiode l.e.d. system beneath the wallcabinetry. the tile evenreflects on to the dark cambria tops ina way that mirrors the tileback on to them. try to picture this kitchenwall just painted with a solidcolor. it's hard to do isn't it? theoriginal kitchen included justthe sink wall of cabinetry and a small areafor the range in anotherlocation.
with 3 windows and 3 doorwaysin this room available wallspace was limited. the new kitchendesign includes a built in hutch in the old location of therange.this allows a place todisplay items but also offers the perfectlocation for serving whenentertaining. the range is now locatedbetween the two windows andsurrounded by wall and base cabinetry in a symmetricallayout. a microwave hood isframed in by very depths and heights tocreate interest. we mentioned this kitchen wasremodeled from floor toceiling. that includes the ceiling itself. we removedthe grid ceiling and tiles
and replaced it with a newplastered one adding textureand the opportunity to include a lighting plan with recessedcans and a ceiling centered inthe space. as refrigerators get larger incapacity and height they've also grown deeper. it'snormal to expect any standarddepth model like this to project beyond thecabinetry or panels by a fewinches. in the case of this layout astandard depth model is perfect. these added inches are nobother to traffic moving in andout of the kitchen or any other appliance doors opening intothe space. if your layout wouldbenefit from it counter depth modelsare available. like the unitshown here

to support a bar height topthat would provide addedseating to the kitchen. guests and users now have aclear view into and out fromthe space. lets take a look around thisgorgeous new kitchen that isnow bigger and brighter. beginning with this sink wallof cabinetry. a sink centeredbelow the window is surrounded bywall cabinets on each side anda decorative valance above. there are 2 pull out cabinetsbelow, but they're not both fortrash and recycling. one of thesespecialty cabinets is fortucker. this is tucker. tucker went through alot with this remodel and allof our crews loved him. even though he can't tell usit's pretty safe to say thatthis cabinet is
tucker's favorite in the wholekitchen because this is wherehis food is stored. on the opposite end of the sinkwall of cabinetry is a talldeep pantry cabinet. sliding shelves within allowfor a lot of storage in the newkitchen. this tall and deep cabinethelps create an ending point tothe new kitchen cabinetry. this helps show were thekitchen ends and the eat inarea begins now that the wall has beenremoved. we now travel to thisnew area of the kitchen. base cabinetry turns the cornerwere a brand new slide in range and wood hood above it are nowlocated. this is a greatopportunity for us to show you the backsplash tile that'sbeen selected for this kitchen.installed throughout
the new kitchen and even inthis distance from thecountertop to the bar height top this neutral field tile addstexture and interest withoutdistracting from the new clean look. inthis case a subtle variation inthe color of this single tile is a greatlook. of course the reason thisdurango cream tile looks so warm and amazingis because it's illuminated byour l.e.d. lighting system installed throughout.this kitchen is a greatopportunity to point out how to handle the areas where thereisn't a clear starting orstopping point to thebacksplash. here at the sink there is aclear place were the eyeexpects the tile to end and the painted wall to begin.this area is different.
in this case the tile cuts downdirectly from the cabinet endpoint and travels to meet the tile fromthe bar height top area to theleft. this same area could have beenaddressed in a number of ways.your sales person and installer will help youcreate the perfect design andapplication for your kitchen depending on the wall areasinvolved. when we shared thiskitchen on blog and houzz.com we immediately receivedquestions about the new hoodabove the slide in range. not everyone wants the look ofa stainless hood in thier space. a wood hood can be ordered tomatch the kitchen cabinets andit can really be a wonderful look. concealed withing thisdecorative cabinet is a broanhood
insert. this insert has 390 cfms and a removable washablefilter. with all of the newcabinetry extending up to ceiling with crown molding,there was no way to stagger theheight of this wood hood. the kitchen designer fromvillage home stores insteadcreated interest with a slight change in depthand the addition of an archedpanel shelf above. since the microwave isn'tlocated it needed a homesomeplace else. instead of an over therange microwave an over thecounter microwave from sharp was installed. thismodel is a wonderful solutionfor keeping the countertop free ofappliances. it even has a tasklight below the unit
so undercabinet lighting is notneeded to be installed on thiswall. a french door refrigerator isalso located on this wall andis capped off with second tall pantry cabinet. two otherareas of cabinetry were addedduring this remodel as well. this existing built inlinen cabinet was replaced witha unit to match the new kitchenjust down the hall. now whenentering the home from the front door, this linenmatches the new kitchen and both are in sight of eachother with the more openconcept to the space. the original dinging spaceincluded some built incabinetry, but this area became the eat in section ofthe kitchen in the new design.the dining room table
has been moved down to thefront room of this space and abuilt-in hutch with glass front doors has been installedto match the kitchen and allowa place to display and serve. this can be used forboth dining spaces. the new kitchen cabinetry is apainted birch wood throughout,but you notice from this dining room view thata rich dark mocha finish hasbeen applied to the back panels and trim ofthis half wall. cambria quartzcountertops in the buckingham design andbull nose edge profile give thelook of a natural stone, but withthe durable and non-porusbenefits of a quartz counter. we mentioned the undercabinetlighting already but there isan entire
lighting plan at work in thisnew kitchen. glowing pendantsfrom vaxell and this sparkling drum fromfeiss above the dining roomtable. these light specific areas andadd style to the space. thesedecorative fixtures work along side withcarefully placed recessed cansto light to light each zone of the newkitchen. new hickory hardwoodflooring in a medimum finish also warms the space.random lengths of 4, 6, and 8" have been installedthroughout and even the bedrooms down the hall receivedcarpeting during the remodel. aremodel project like this is no small thing to tackle. adesigner at village home storescan
