Project Year: 2018
Project Cost: $75,001 - $100,000
Country: United States
ORIGINAL KITCHEN HAD CLOSED-IN DESIGN WITH ANGLED PENINSULA AND NO ISLAND.....WE CUT BACK WALL BEHIND SINK AND ADDED ISLAND W/SEATING.....HUGE IMPROVEMENT IN VISUAL.....UNIQUE BACKSPLASH AND PENDANT FIXTURES REALLY MAKE THIS KITCHEN SPECTACULAR.
Bel
VIEW FROM EATING AREA LOOKING TOWARDS L/R.....LOVE THE "OPEN" CONCEPT.....GREAT FOR ENTERTAINING.....NOTE 2 STOOLS ON OUTER ENDS ARE BACKLESS.....MAKES FOR BETTER TRAFFIC FLOW AROUND ISLAND.....BACKSPLASH AND LIGHTING FINISH THE EFFECT.
Bel
ISLAND CABS. & CTR. IN CONTRASTING COLORS REALLY ADD TO THE UNIQUE CHARACTER OF THIS KITCHEN.....GOOD SHOT OF THE 3 PENDANT FIXTURES!
Bel
CLOSE-UP OF THIS WALL IS TO SHOW RUN OF TALL CABS.....WE ALWAYS PUT "TALLS" (DBL. OVEN, REFR., AND PANTRY) TOGETHER.....IT MAKES FOR A MORE DRAMATIC EFFECT.....MORE IMPORTANTLY, YOU DON'T WANT TALLS ALL AROUND THE KITCHEN BECAUSE THEY INTERRUPT THE FLOW OF THE COUNTER TOPS.
Bel
VIEW FROM KITCHEN EATING AREA LOOKING ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO L/R.....LOVE THE OPEN FEELING.....GUESTS CAN ALL CONVERSE TOGETHER WHEREVER THEY ARE IN THE HOUSE!.....GOOD VIEW OF CONTRASTING ISLAND.
Bel
VIEW FROM FRONT FOYER (WALLS BEING PAINTED) GIVES SMALL PREVIEW OF SPECTACULAR KITCHEN AROUND THE CORNER.....NOTE THE 2 CTR. TOP OVERHANGS HAVE BEEN INCREASED TO GIVE MORE SURFACE AREA.
Bel
LOOKING IN FROM L/R.....KITCHEN REALLY LOOKS INVITING.....THE 3 PENDANTS JUST POP!
Bel
AS YOU GET CLOSER, THE KITCHEN REALLY COMES INTO VIEW AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL....THE CABINET FINISH AND BACKSPLASH TILES SAY IT ALL!
Bel
WE HAD ENOUGH SPACE IN HALLWAY SO WE INCREASED THE CTR. TOP OVERHANGS.....MAKES FOR A GREAT "BUFFET" AREA.....WALL BEHIND SINK IS RAISED APPROX. 6" TO PROVIDE BACKSPLASH (SEE PICS OF THIS AREA FURTHER DOWN.
Bel
CAN'T STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF BACKSPLASH TILES ENOUGH.....BE SURE TO USE UNDERCABINET LIGHTING.....WE ALWAYS USE LED LIGHT STRIPS.....THESE TILES WERE VERY EXPENSIVE BUT IT SURE WAS WORTH IT.....WHAT A BEAUTIFUL LOOK!!
Bel
CLOSE-UP OF B/S TILES REALLY SHOW HOW BEAUTIFUL THEY ARE.....UNDERCABINET LED LIGHT STRIPS ARE TUCKED IN JUST BEHIND FACE FRAME OF CABINET.....KEEPS THEM UNSEEN AND ALLOWS TASK LIGHTING TO COVER FULL DEPTH OF COUNTER TOPS.
Bel
HAD TO INCLUDE REAL CLOSE-UP OF BACKSPLASH.....PIC SAYS IT ALL.....JUST BEAUTIFUL!!
Bel
CHROME FIXTURES ARE REALLY MAKING A COMEBACK.....THEY'RE BEYOND SPECTACULAR IN THIS SETTING WITH THE BLACK CTR. TOP AND BACKSPLASH TILES.....NOTE HOW WE RAISED THE BACK WALL APPROX. 6" IN THE AREA BEHIND THE SINK.....HIDES THE DIRTY DISHES!
Bel
GROUND VIEW SHOWS OFF THE BEAUTIFUL WOOD PLANK FLOORING.....ALSO NOTE HOW "BACKLESS" STOOL LEAVES ROOM FOR TRAFFIC BETWEEN THE ISLAND AND PENINSULA.....ALSO ANGLED BASE CABINET ON END OF PENINSULA IMPROVES TRAFFIC FLOW.
Bel
OTHER SIDE OF ISLAND SHOWS THE OTHER BACKLESS STOOL TO SAVE SPACE.....TUCKS IN REAL NICE AND LEAVES ROOM FOR TRAFFIC.
Bel
WE BUILT THEIR KITCHEN USING SHILOH CABINETRY.....THIS WAS A NEW COLOR THEY JUST CAME OUT WITH AND IT WORKED OUT JUST GREAT!.....HOPE YOU AGREE!.....NOTE HOW WELL THE CABINET HARDWARE WORKS.
Bel
ANOTHER VIEW OF CHROME FAUCET AND INSTANT HOT WATER.....SMALL BUTTON TO THE LEFT IS AN "AIR SWITCH" THAT OPERATES THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL.....ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR A WALL SWITCH ON THE BACKSPLASH.....GOING MORE AND MORE TO SILGRANITE SINKS INSTEAD OF STAINLESS STEEL.....CAN'T BEAT THE LOOK.
Bel
KITCHEN THIS LARGE NEEDED PREP SINK.....SURE LIKE THE CHROME FAUCET.....BEAUTIFUL COUNTER TOP, EH?
Bel
ANOTHER VIEW OF PREP SINK AND CHROME FAUCET.....NICE COMBO!.....AGAIN, DON'T FORGET THE SINK GRID(S).
Bel
MIXERS CAN GET REALLY HEAVY AND THEY TAKE UP A LOT OF SPACE TO STORE.....IF WE HAVE ROOM FOR A MIXER-LIFT CABINET (USUALLY 18"w) WE'LL SUGGEST IT TO OUR CLIENT.....THEY'RE SPRING ACTIVATED SO YOU CAN LIFT UP THE MIXER WITH ONE FINGER!.....SEE NEXT PIC.
Bel
MIXER SHELF JUST LIFTS UP/OUT AND LOCKS IN PLACE.....YOU CAN USE IT AS IS (BE SURE TO HAVE OUTLET INSTALLED IN CABINET) OR SLIDE IT ONTO THE CTR.
Bel
ALWAYS PUT ROLL-OUT TRAYS IN PANTRY CABINET.....IT'S 24" DEPTH MAKES THIS MANDATORY.....ALSO BE SURE TO USE A CAB. MFR. WHERE THE TRAYS ARE HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE.
Bel
WE ALWAYS USE "SUPER SUSANS" WHICH DON'T HAVE THE CENTER POLE.....GIVES FULL ACCESS.....THE TOP DISC ROTATES ON IT'S OWN SHELF.....IF SOMETHING FALLS OFF IT JUST LANDS ON THE SHELF INSTEAD OF GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE CABINET!
Bel
A SOMETIMES OVERLOOKED CABINET IS THE "TRAY-DIVIDER" CABINET.....WE USE THEM ALL THE TIME.....NOT ONLY FOR BAKING TRAYS BUT CUTTING BOARDS AS WELL.
