A VARIETY OF COLORS AND TEXTURES ON FLOORS,walls,and ceilings brighten an almost all-wood kitchen.In keeping with the Craftsman-style details,the floor is strip oak,stained to be medium dark.The ceiling acquires a pizzazz of its own with elaborate molding on the beams and painted bead board in the recesses. Around the cooking alcove,the wall is finished with skim-coat plaster that's given a painted, weathered appearance that recalls the days of cooking in a fireplace.
RECTANGULAR FIELD TILES USED IN THE BACKGROUND are light-colored slate, while dark slate squares make a border around the island. Dark and light tiles fill in with a diagonal checkerboard. Slate, like most stone, must be sealed to prevent staining.
