About This Project
Material & Feature Breakdown
The kitchen features large format, polished marble tiles used as both the backsplash and full wall surface. The tiles display a sophisticated blend of white, gray, and beige veining, in a rectangular or slab shape with clean, straight edges for a seamless look. These slabs are expertly installed in a stacked pattern, with thin matching white grout lines, maximizing the dramatic natural marble effect. The smooth, polished finish reflects light and adds freshness to the kitchen zone.
In this Almaden Valley Whole House Renovation project, Lora McKinnon transforms the San Jose, CA kitchen into a modern culinary retreat. The polished marble look provides timeless elegance combined with transitional appeal, creating an upscale yet welcoming ambiance. The choice of large format slabs reduces grout joints, creating a sleek, uninterrupted surface ideal for both beauty and easy maintenance. This design is perfect for homeowners seeking luxury, practicality, and contemporary flair in their primary cooking space.
