Cherry & Taupe with One Unique Backsplash

This is another display in our showroom that I have been meaning to post about. We used cherry wood cabinetry with a toffee stain and taupe painted cabinetry with a brown glaze on the opposite side.
The coppery tones in the granite work perfectly with the cherry cabinets. I really love the way the colors complement eachother in this display.

I designed this piece to resemble an antique hutch. The cherry wood countertop matches the cherry cabinets and the taupe cabinets complement the travertine tile that we selected for the opposite side.

Here is a close up of the beautiful tile from Stafford Tile & Stone. We decided to lay the travertine diagonally and border it with a 1" x 2" glass tile. The tile is my favorite part of this display.
These photos are all a bit bright--due to the huge windows we have in our showroom. I cannot complain because I love working in natural light.
We are currently preparing for Mardi Gras here at Artisan. Last night we watched a parade pass right in front of our shop and have several more to view before the celebrations are over. It is fun to watch the city transform into party mode and to get to talk to all of the out of towners that keep popping in!
