Kitchen

Typical of many San Francisco Victorians, this home’s kitchen had evolved over the years out of an enclosed porch. The centerpiece of the new light-filled space is a custom island / drop-leaf table that converts from a casual family dining area to an ample area for the children’s art projects, or seating for twelve. Open shelving and a series of custom ledges for the family’s seasonal canning efforts intensify the casual, working feel to the kitchen, which is both modern, yet appropriate to the essence of the home.

Interrupting the curved lighting track where it intersects a beam creates the illusion that the lighting track goes through the beam. The gracious curve of the lighting track complements the curved edge of the island countertop below. Photography: Richard Sprengeler

This colorful quirky-kitschy sophisticated ranch set in the foothills of Colorado boast an interesting use of materials. Hand-forged galvanized metal refrigerator door panels, rusted Coreten Steel backsplash, and oversized hammered metal island pendants add layers to this rustic kitchen.
