Dining, Coffee or Cocktails
http://www.eminentid.com

The dining room of this home was also updated due to the Kitchen and adjoining space remodel. Continuing the wonderful warm walnut into the Dining Room, the panels were specifically selected so the grain did not match to create interest. Hidden "windows" from the Dining Room into the Kitchen allow for ease of pass through serving. The contrast of the silver leafed cork wallcovering behind the wood countertop repeats the cool vs. warm play of tones as seen in the Kitchen. The homeowner has several different types of coffee and espresso machines. The large doors to the right of the dining room cabinet open to reveal a wet bar in which she can either make an eye-opening cup of espresso or a delicious cocktail. A refrigerator drawer and freezer drawer are also fully concealed within the rich walnut cabinetry.

Is the wall unit a custom unit, or a piece of furniture. If it a piece of furniture, who is the vendor? - This is beautiful!! »

Eminent Interior Design Hello,
This wonderful buffet also includes two refrigerator drawers, a wine refrigerator and a wet bar. It is not a freestanding piece of furniture but a cabinetry piece. It is made of walnut. The back side of this piece includes a picture rail for ease of hanging art.
Thank you for your question.

winslowd How retro cool is this.

Eminent Interior Design Hello! The species is rift cut oak. To achieve the finish, the oak was wire brushed. Then a white glaze was applied to hang up within the groves created through the wire brushing process. A matte sealer was applied. If working with a professional floor finisher, it is customary to request a sample for approval on the finish before work begins. Thank you for your compliments!
Thank you for your question!

Eminent Interior Design Hello,
These fabulous cabinets are made of walnut. We specifically requested that the grain NOT match throughout the space in order to create interest.

added by Charmean Neithart Interiors, LLC. to 12 Kitchenettes for Convenience and Compact Living
This clever kitchenette definitely falls in the convenience camp. A beautiful second kitchen, it's adjacent to the dining room and features a refrigerator and freezer drawer; coffee and other drinks can be served easily from it. The sink and bar area could have been fully concealed behind beautiful walnut doors too.
