Kitchen

The kitchen is the hub of this home. With custom white shaker cabinetry on the perimeter + a contrasting dark + moody island, we warmed the space by bringing in brass hardware and wood accents. Windows flank both sides of the range hood giving a clear view into the expansive backyard while the floor to ceiling cabinets maximize storage!

Contemporary Chef's Kitchen

The main family room connects to the kitchen and features a floor-to-ceiling fireplace surround that separates this room from the hallway and home office. The light-filled foyer opens to the dining room with intricate ceiling trim and a sparkling chandelier. A leaded glass window above the entry enforces the modern romanticism that the designer and owners were looking for. The in-law suite, off the side entrance, includes its own kitchen, family room, primary suite with a walk-out screened in porch, and a guest room/home office.

We transformed the main floor by removing load-bearing walls and merging the kitchen and family room, resulting in an open concept layout. The kitchen boasts a large island perfect for food preparation, family dining and entertaining guests. By incorporating 2 toned cabinets featuring a mix of wood and MDF, we created a functional yet timeless kitchen design.

This contemporary kitchen is clean and functional, filled with state of the art appliances and luxury materials. We chose a rich rift cut white oak cabinet door with custom glazing and a wirebrushed texture for the majority of the kitchen. To create more depth we used grey painted cabinets for the tall pantry area. For the upper wall cabinets next to the sink, glass and metal frame doors were selected. The glass is frosted on the fronts and painted grey on the back for a very soft yet sophisticated feel. The stainless steel Dacor Modernist refrigerator is quite a statement on its own, and it integrated more of the desired metal element. Caeserstone countertops in marble-look Calacatta Nuvo were used to brighten up the space. The smoked oak wood bar top is a bold statement as it cantilevers out from the island. A Freedom Gaggenau cooktop and downdraft keep the island clean and ready for entertaining.

I fell in love with this geometric pattern for the backsplash. It's a small and dainty pattern, that over the large area makes a big impact. It also reminisces of an older style backsplash which I wanted to keep some of the detail grounded to the age of the home.

The owner of this new Scotch Construction home chose 2 islands in the kitchen for additional prep space away from the cook top. The space features a convection oven, 5 burner cook top, and a warming drawer.
