The cremone bolts in polished nickel are by Wilmette Hardware. They are expensive, but worth it. It’s the first thing everyone remarks on, and they’re heavy and rich feeling when opening and closing the extra-tall doors.

Below is everything I used in my Boston kitchen and entry for my recent renovation.

As promised, below is the template that Stellar Vents used to make the vents.

Please forgive the fabric over the range faux vent at the bottom. It’s temporary but necessary.

 

The actual tile we used was by Historic Decorative Materials.

 

My tile is in the historic white. It often photographs more white than it looks in the photos. However, I don’t know if they still carry it. This link goes to the same tile but in their vintage warm white.

This tile has a fine crackle finish. You must seal it before grouting.

We’re still not quite finished with the entry. But, soon, it should be done.

The above shows the mural from Papiers de Paris I’m planning on doing in the entry. I will get going on that soon.
