PROJECTS

This gracious kitchen perfectly balances high function and timeless beauty. Open to the home's main floor -- it is expected to work and look good too. The 11-foot center island, capped in Italian Statuary White marble, is stained a coffee color, to resist visible wear-and-tear in this high-traffic zone. Crisp white enameling is reserved primarily for cabinet uppers and other decorative trim. Hand-glazed porcelain tile, wrapping all four walls, is stunning yet practical. Directly off the kitchen is a tailored butler's pantry with butcher block counters, wine fridge, and task-specific storage. Paired with the built-in coffee bar, these two modest, yet high-function spaces, make entertaining easy and elegant.

Our clients wanted to make the most of summer. Home and outdoors are seamlessly blended, using Marvin’s 14’ bifold door, paired with a 14’ rollup Phantom Screen. Connecting dinning, screen room and a bluestone patio beyond, with a fountain crafted by local pottery artist Steve Hemmingway.

"Our home feels so small!" was the refrain we heard. Removing large sections of wall between this 1940's kitchen and the dining room, rear entry, and an unused bedroom beyond, created a sense of openness and space without the need for a costly addition. Highly detailed cabinetry, designed to the square inch, provides for function and storage beyond the original wish list. Fixtures and finishes were selected to meet the clients' clean-lined tastes, while toned to reflect the homes original aesthetics. New, not so new, timeless.
