Normandy Designer Vince Weber, worked closely with the homeowners to create an open and spacious floorplan with timeless beauty and appeal. “The existing kitchen was isolated from the rest of the house,” says Weber. “One of the redesign goals of the homeowners was to tie the kitchen with the living room to create a ‘living kitchen’ that would function as the central gathering space for the family.” The resulting design paired timeless colors and classic inset cabinetry to give the kitchen a casual elegance. The island was designed to feel like a furniture piece, which creates a visual divide between functioning kitchen, and the informal eating and living space.
Featuring white painted cabinetry for the perimteter of the space and dark stained island for a contrast, the green backsplash tiles and subtle green countertops add personality to the space.
Weber worked closely with the homeowners throughout the design and construction process to ensure that their goals were being met. In the end, the homeowners are very happy with their new "living kitchen" and are proud to have this two-time award winning space in their home.

What brand and model of lighting is it over the lsland? Thank you »
Normandy Remodeling The dishwasher is located between the sink and the refrigerator. The wall from the refrigerator to the corner measures approximately 13' and from the cabinetry corner to the end of the wall with the cooktop is approximately 7 1/2'.
what style of hardware is on the other side of the island? - do you have a pic of the other side of this island? usually i love larger handle style hardware but this kitchen is stunning and it is an inspiration to me on my next kitchen in a new spec home....so whats on the other side? wondering if smaller knobs would look ok there. »
Normandy Remodeling This kitchen was featured in Remodeling Magazine last year and the article, which can be found here http://www.remodeling.hw.net/kitchen/simply-smart-some-deft-design-moves-completely-tr.aspx has some great photos of the other side of the island, including some hardware shots. It has a combination of the cuff style pulls and a few knobs, which you will see in the pictures. Good luck on your next home!

kitchen ceiling height - HI, How high is the ceiling height and do you know how many inches the crown molding over the cabinets takes up? it's beautiful! »
Normandy Remodeling Correction, the ceiling height in the kitchen is actually only 8 ft, the breakfast nook has a vaulted ceiling that goes to 9 ft. Sorry for the confusion!
Normandy Remodeling Thanks for your question. The room is actually painted white, just not a very bright white. The green cast you are seeing may be from your screen or may be a reflection from the green tiles and/or the green countertop.
Normandy Remodeling We did some research in our files, but unfortunately found that these chairs were purchased by the homeowner and we do not know the manufacturer. I'm very sorry that we were unable to provide the information you were seeking and hope that you will be able to find some similar chairs that will suit your needs.
kitchykitch I love the kitchen cabinets. Please tell me the width of the top cabinets adjacent to the large window above the sink. I hope it is as narrow as 12 inches! Thank you.
Like the nook with 3 sides. I also like the black island. LOVE the tops of the cupboards and how they are various heights. Click on comments to see additional articles about this kitchen.
