In this kitchen, we wanted to tie in the pink tones used throughout the rest of the house with copper metallic light fixtures and hardware, as well as a rose quartz counter top. For the island we chose a rich coffee brown for contrast. The space flows seamlessly and feels much lighter than the previous kitchen. 

We used lots of glass and mirror to create a feeling of space. The mirror-backed cabinets and extensive lighting create a feeling of openess and sparkle.

We did a major re-design in this kitchen. The last update had been done in the 70's. Our goal was to incorporate modern conveniences while retaining the character of this antique home.

We found stools and light fixtures that really worked with the farmhouse style.

We went to great lengths to make sure the cabinets had a true aged looking finish including the seed glass in the cabinet doors.

The kitchen was a major change, and done on a tight budget, so the location of all major appliances stayed the same. We added a tiered island where you could work, but hide the mess from guests. The elevated bar height for seating allowed the homeowners to have an even better look at the outside view. The kitchen ceiling was so high, we actually lowered it, and then built a "pop down" ceiling over the island to define it, creating strong architectural lines and giving a warmer feeling to the space.

In this kitchen we reused the existing cherry cabinets and replaced the countertops and back splash with continuous slabs of Carrara marble. We redesigned the island, creating one level and repainting the cabinets underneath. It gave the kitchen a big facelift without redoing everything. We found wonderful wrought iron glass lanterns to hang above the table and serve as the focal point in the room. Columns with partitioned walls were added to delineate the kitchen and dining spaces. 

The kitchen cabinetry is mahogany and the back splash is bead board in this classic New England home. Granite behind the stove provides a beautiful focal point for this kitchen. 

A kitchen is all about the great details. That's what a designer brings "to the table". It's all about enhancing what you have and making the space even more like home.
