Kitchen

Another view of the red island with butcher block top.

Wrapped in a contemporary shell, this house features custom Cherrywood cabinets with blue granite countertops throughout the kitchen to connect its coastal environment.

In this remodel, the kitchen forms a social hub flooded with natural light. Multiple islands are zoned by use: preparing, cooking, entertaining, and storage, and delineated by changes in flooring material and height. The remainder of the home is touched with thoughtful materials, as well as extensive energy updates including blown-in insulation, radiant heat flooring, solar, and daylighting.

Roll-out Shelves are available in 2 depths (standard and deep) to fit your particular application (ROS and ROSD). Soaring mountain peaks, rugged terrain, and old pine forests appeal to a large audience of outdoor adventures. Regardless of whether your mountain experience includes skiing, fly-fishing, hiking, or lounging by the fireplace, the majestic grandeur and awe of the mountains have inspired a unique, architectural style. Rustic woods and equally rustic finishes are a notable feature of “Mountain” architecture. A massive, stone fireplace is another definitive focal point. Furnishings are imposing and luxurious, design elements are grand scale, and natural textures and surfaces (stone, wood, burnished, metals, etc/) are expertly blended. Rustic woods and distressed finishes are a perfect complement to “Mountain Resort” styling.

Signature Homes kitchen at Chace Lake in Birmingham, AL

The window "backsplash", two islands (one with an attached kidney-shaped countertop), textured glass doors, and zebra striped cushions on the stools qualify this kitchen for an "eclectic" designation.

The island is stained walnut. The cabinets are glazed paint. The gray-green hutch has copper mesh over the doors and is designed to appear as a separate free standing piece. Small appliances are behind the cabinets at countertop level next to the range. The hood is copper with an aged finish. The wall of windows keeps the room light and airy, despite the dreary Pacific Northwest winters! The fireplace wall was floor to ceiling brick with a big wood stove. The new fireplace surround is honed marble. The hutch to the left is built into the wall and holds all of their electronics. Project by Portland interior design studio Jenni Leasia Interior Design.
