The traffic flow in this kitchen is well thought out and the builder has located the stainless steel appliances in a compact work triangle.
The countertops in this picture are 12" x 12" black granite tiles, an affordable alternate to slab granite countertops.
The cabinets for this kitchen were custom built for this space by a local cabinet shop. Custom cabinets are generally more expensive than factory-built modular cabinets, but offer the advantage of maximum use of the available space.
The cabinets and the flooring are both made out of maple. The builder has specified top grade color matched material for both. Note the absence of streaks of off-color dark wood. It is especially important to watch this issue in hardwood flooring, where there often are several grades of material available.
Even though the builder has chosen a premium grade material for the flooring, note that it still contains more color variation than the cabinets, which is very typical of flooring.
