My San Francisco Bay Area kitchen remodel was recently completed. I had two of your kitchen photos in my Pinterest “Kitchen re-do” as ones that inspired me (#16 and #8). We did a mixture of Carrera marble and black soapstone in our kitchen with white Crystal cabinets with un-lacquered brass pulls, latches and faucets. I used black slate tile as the backsplash. We went with a black matte Lacanche range and I LOVE MY KITCHEN!!! Just wish the marble didn’t etch so easily.
