For those of you who are concerned about "cleaning the mirror," trust me, I was skeptical when we first thought of the idea. But we thought "If it doesn't work, we'll just hang the mirror somewhere else in the house and figure out what's next for above the stove." I am VERY Midwestern (read PRACTICAL) and if the mirror was outrageous to maintain, it wouldn't be there. Surprisingly, it doesn't need to be cleaned as often as one might think (and, we don't have a maid service--we do all the cleaning).<br />If you'd like to see the rest of the kitchen from a different angle, you can check out my blog www.mark-leslie.net and scroll down to the October 22, 2009 entry. Here is the direct link: http://www.mark-leslie.net/to-refrigerate-or-not-to-refrigerate. It shows the fridge (built into an armoire opposite the sink) and the dishwasher (which is located under the marble surface. I took the photo from what is now the butler's pantry, which was originally the house's narrow, shotgun of a kitchen.<br />Again, thanks for interest and the discussion.<br />-MarkMark Lesliehttp://www.mark-leslie.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210818371540491059.post-67901445623019528502010-01-14T11:01:21.240-06:002010-01-14T11:01:21.240-06:00It is a very soothing color palette.It is a very soothing color palette.megan @ a life's designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886283593537080536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210818371540491059.post-91633715822123181482010-01-13T09:58:55.529-06:002010-01-13T09:58:55.529-06:00I can't believe that kitchen, I would LOVE to ...I can't believe that kitchen, I would LOVE to see it person!

There is nothing wimpy about this house. Every room has amazing pieces. The kitchen chandelier with the top of the mirror - all those curves high in the room. That's not wimpy. The Gothic panel and headless statue - wow.

The wall-mounted faucet on that one peice of marble surrounded by the prints...."Brilliant!" in my book!

I think the whole house is fabulous. <br />I've adore Bobby McAlpine's work for years!
