Mixing themes in the hub of the home. This open and functional Showplace kitchen is the hub of the home, linking the entry, den, family room and formal dining room. The versatile maple Covington door in Hazelnut with Ebony glazing fits perfectly in this expressive setting that mixes elements of Western, Spanish and Arts & Crafts themes. The efficient galley layout of the kitchen incorporates a creative melding of angles and open spaces. The outer run of base cabinets is fronted with shallow cabinets at serving height, all topped with elegant granite. Note how these cabinets make the most of the available storage space, and how the carved corbels add flowing grace to the presentation.

The range hood is a one-of-a-kind creation by a local artisan, of hand-hammered copper. Note the creative use of narrow base cabinets on each side of the range base. Abundant storage is supplied by the tall cabinets. Note how creative angles and the addition of mullioned glass doors really set this design apart from the ordinary.

Showplace customization options allow you to design outside the (straight) lines. The attractive wall cabinet ensemble combines a standard wall cabinet with an angled corner cabinet, complete with a functioning door on the opposite side. The run of base cabinets wings out on both ends, giving the room both added character and efficient functionality.
