Noe Valley kitchen

http://www.briandittmardesign.com

Built as a schoolhouse in the 1920s, this historic building in San Francisco's Noe Valley district was converted to condos in the late 90s. The original kitchen in this unit was very small and crowded into a dark corner. By doubling the footprint, adding white cabinets and a new custom grey stained island and replacing all the dated appliances, this space has a fresh, new outlook.

I was hoping you could share the wall color and island cabinet color. Do you do work outside of SF? »

Brian Dittmar Design, Inc. The wall color is Benjamin Moore "Flint" AF-560 and the island is maple wood with a graphite colored stain. And yes, I do work outside of the SF Bay Area. Thanks!

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Vanessa Brunner to Houzz Tour: Brian Dittmar's Relaxed Classic Style

In the Noe Valley kitchen, Dittmar used Flint from Benjamin Moore to define the space. White cabinets from Segale Brothers and CeasarStone counters round out the fresh but classic look. All appliances are from GE and Thermador.

added by Dytecture to 9 Ways to Add Color to a Kitchen

The kitchen is defined not only by a lowered ceiling, but also by the blue-gray color of the surfaces.

A soffit that closes the gap between the top of the cabinets and the ceiling of the kitchen is more common, although in this case the curve and extension over the entire space is unique.
