Chef's Kitchen / Tudor Revival

This picturesque Tudor residence was comprehensively remodeled and restored to meet the needs of a ‘chef’, her husband, and their children. The project reconfigured nearly the entire Ground Floor including its key spaces ~ Kitchen, Breakfast Room, Powder Room, Mud Room and Family Room. However the “Chef’s Kitchen” is the piece de resistance of the newly configured space. The cabinetry was designed to accommodate the cook’s requests, special spaces for cooking utensils, Mix Masters, Cuisinarts, cutting knives, etc. Watery blue and sea foam green tiles along with pale blue paint colors were selected to soften and calm. A painted beamed ceiling with bead board infill panels float above supporting a contemporary Mouille styled bent-arm light fixture. A breakfast / homework table sits beside a re-purposed fireplace clad in Statuary White marble tiles, adding yet another dimension to the Kitchen’s luscious material palette indicating where, and when (note the clock), it’s time to work, or eat.
