Cherry Kitchen

Inside of a low-slung mid-century home, the original kitchen was poorly connected to the adjacent dining and family room spaces.

The homeowners requested a transitional style and selected the stunning combination of cherry cabinets with soapstone countertops. Flooring is porcelain tile.

This kitchen was formerly poorly connected to the adjacent dining and family room spaces. We opened up the dividing wall structurally and added a skylight to brighten the kitchen space. The owners' day-to-day entrance into the home is via the door at left, from a courtyard.

The cabinet at the left shields the kitchen somewhat from the family room. The cabinet has four drawers for personal storage--one for each family member--that contain outlets for charging devices.

Cabinets are natural cherry, and countertops are a green-gray soapstone--a richly beautiful material.

The kitchen window was enlarged to bring in more light, stretching from countertop to ceiling.

Behind the bar, a workspace is shielded by a taller countertop that caps a wine storage cabinet. To its left is a built-in dog food strorage drawer, with a sealed container within.

A central skylight illumines the kitchen beautifully.

An appliance garage with a bi-folding door hides the stand mixer. Open storage for cookbooks and 'objets d'art' lets the storage wall breath a bit.
