Kitchen of the Week: Old Meets New in the Northwest
NB Design Group uses a family's old Tudor kitchen as inspiration for their brand new home
This eclectic Washington kitchen gets most of its inspiration from the clients' much-loved previous home. Even though they were moving into a brand new house, the clients wanted to incorporate salvaged pieces from their original Tudor-style home. Designers at Seattle's NB Design Group used contemporary materials in a clean design to offset the older elements, creating a beautiful blend of traditional and modern styles.

| NB Design Group built a display shelf above the kitchen's stainless steel prep area for the clients' antique wine jugs and elegant ceramics. A built-in marble ledge was made for the client's collection of old cutting boards. Putting them near the prep area means they're easily accessible for chopping up veggies.

| The dramatic marble waterfall counter in this kitchen takes the design in a contemporary direction. The contrast between the white honed marble, the stainless steel, the rift-cut white oak cabinetry and the more Old-World elements creates a pleasing mix. NB Design Group wanted to use a variety of different materials in this elegant kitchen, but also wanted to make sure that everything would flow in a clean and seamless design. Hood: Miele |

The green hutch just beyond the kitchen was another element from the client's original home. The hutch was brought into the house and surrounded by built-ins with leaded glass doors to hold the a ceramic collection.
The stainless-steel counters were extended into the countertop surrounding the range, making the area easy to clean. A warming drawer next to the oven is a luxurious touch. Ann Sacks terracotta flooring tile adds warm contrast to the more contemporary stainless steel and marble elements.

zillij I like some of the elements on their own, but put together, I find the space overwhelming & overdone.

Gail Very modern......BUT....I do like the green cabinet in the 3rd picture. The kitchen is very balanced and the lines straight and clean.

CAROLE MEYER I think this is a beautiful kitchen...I really love the clean lines with the addition of the antique pieces. It also looks very functional.

skingftl It's a pretty kitchen...but doesn't appear to be functional. Where do you have your drinking cups? There are no cabinets near the sink or the refrigerator...you have to travel the length of the kitchen to get a cup?

Susie Q Design Studio It wouldn't surprise me if the cups and glasses are stored in all those medium sized drawers. My guess is all those drawers have lovely custom dividers in them to prevent plates, bowels and glasses from sliding into one another when the drawer is opened. How convenient. I wish I had all those drawers.
