POP GOES THE  
 COUNTER! 
 • The eye-popping magenta  
 peninsular counter that grabs  
 your attention while elevating  
 your mood sits under nickelfinished  
 clear small pendant  
 lights. A satin finish adds luster  
 to the red oak floor, while tying  
 together the bright peninsular  
 and adjacent muted slate-hued  
 countertops. Appliances include  
 a Jenn Air slide-in range. Harrell

 ELEGANCE 
 • 
 Old World formality takes on  
 a distinctly California casual  
 look and feel. Offsetting a  
 black walnut bar top illuminated  
 by Moon Scraplight  
 pendants, high-gloss white  
 and Wenge wood cabinets  
 surround an island’s Quartzite  
 Granite Mont Blanc  
 countertop. Thermador and  
 Bosch appliances prevail. YM
