Transitional Kitchen

The kitchen was completely updated with custom cabinets along two entire walls, finished in a soft cream color. The full height upper cabinets feature glass door inserts and LED strip lighting for display areas, and they enhance the openness of the kitchen. Contrasting dark stained cabinetry was installed for the large island. The stunning feature of this kitchen is the eye-catching custom hood fan crafted in curved wood finished in a dark stain to match the island. New stainless steel appliances were installed including wall ovens and a warming drawer. The island serves up maximum function, which has ample circulation area around it. In addition to providing a central counter surface and area for seating, it houses the sink, dishwasher, and a beverage cooler. The large floor to ceiling cabinet section adjacent to the wall ovens provide for ample storage of pantry supplies. The custom cabinetry features maple melamine boxes with Whittington square raised panel solid core doors and drawer fronts, custom stained and finished in a satin lacquer. Soft-close blu-motion full extension glides are installed in the cabinetry. Counter tops are cosmic black granite, for natural beauty and easy maintenance. The back splash features elegant rectangular white tiles with a subtle raised profile, installed in a linear design and highlighted beautifully by the LED lighting installed under the cabinetry. This kitchen is the heart of this family home, and the design is timeless. Photography by Rob Moroto, Calgary Photos
