kitchen
The kitchen is a linen color and has textured wood cabinets from Snaidero. "All the materials had to work with the color palette — gray, cream, taupe, tan and camel — and be incorporated to have the kitchen flow with the rest of the living space," says Riker. The glass backsplash has an iridescent, undulating quality and refers back to the wallpaper in the entry hall. Squared-down pendant fixtures by Ochre relate to the chandelier in the dining room. (Riker calls them "sister fixtures.") The classic Bertoia bar stools belonged to the owners and were reupholstered in leather.
Two dishwashers. Sinks were not the only elements you wanted to see two of; Houzzers with two dishwashers could not say enough good things about them. They even take clean dishes straight from dishwasher to table, a luxury that you have when you don't need to empty the dishwasher in order to refill it with dirty dishes.
The kitchen features a 36-inch Wolf dual range stove top and a Kenmore dishwasher and refrigerator. All of the cabinetry is part of the Ikea Akurum/Rationell system, which helped keep the kitchen design within budget.
