Clean, contemporary warm kitchen
http://kmkei.com

Clean, contemporary white oak slab cabinets with a white Chroma Crystal White countertop. Cabinets are set off with sleek stainless steel handles. The appliances are also stainless steel. The diswasher is Bosch, the refridgerator is a Kenmore professional built-in, stainless steel. The hood is stainless and glass from Futuro, Venice model. The double oven is stainless steel from LG. The stainless wine cooler is Uline. the stainless steel built-in microwave is form GE. The irridescent glass back splash that sets off the floating bar cabinet and surrounds window is Vihara Irridescent 1 x 4 glass in Puka. Perfect for entertaining. The floors are Italian ceramic planks that look like hardwood in a driftwood color. Simply gorgeous. Lighting is recessed and kept to a minimum to maintain the crisp clean look the client was striving for. I added a pop of orange and turquoise (not seen in the photos) for pillows on a bench as well as on the accessories. Cabinet fabricator, Mark Klindt ~ www.creativewoodworks.info

Kristin Lam Interiors I'm sorry but I don't remember the grout color. It's something the installer and I choose onsite.

what is with the random single cabinet on the wall? »
· Comment · 7 months ago
Kristin Lam Interiors I think chunky open shelves would have been a great option here but the client liked the idea of closed cabinets.

enmc Ummm, I think you missed the point of that question..WHAT is up with that...whether they wanted a cabinet or not, it looks ridiculous. It doesn't even look functional...who has the reach REQUIRED to lean in from the peninsula to put the dishes away? It is both, too high, and too far in. Client wants a cabinet..give them one...but one that works....and looks good, too. It is especially jarring when you read that it is supposed to give the feeling of openness..and that it is a fabulous design concept that does just that! It does NOT work.

What size pot lights? »
· Comment · 13 months ago
Emily Hurley Hi there! The designer says: "We use 6" cans for overall lighting and 4" halogen cans for more direct lighting above the peninsula."

Hope that helps!
