Project Year: 2017

Country: United States

TOTALLY UPDATED FROM FLOORING TO CAN LIGHTS.....REMOVED SOFFITS AND PENINSULA.....ISLAND HAS SEATING AND THE FLOORING IS SPECTACULAR.....BEAUTIFUL CLEAN AND BRIGHT!.....LOVE CONTRAST BETWEEN CABINETRY AND TOPS/BACKSLASH.

David

WE ALWAYS PUT "TALLS" (DBL. OVEN, REFR.,PANTRY CAB.) TOGETHER.....FAR MORE DRAMATIC.....ALONG WITH THAT, IF THEY WERE SEPARATED THEY WOULD CUT UP THE COUNTER TOPS INTO SMALL WORK AREAS.....NOTE ANGLE BASE CAB. BY DOOR.....REALLY IMPROVES TRAFFIC FLOW.....PENDANT FIXTURES OVER ISLAND ARE WONDERFULLY...

David

GREAT WORK AREA.....UNDERCABINET LIGHTING IS ALWAYS A MUST.....GOOD VIEW OF THOSE PENDANT FIXTURES....."NOTCH" IN ISLAND IS FOR REFR. DOOR SWING.....GIVES ROOM FOR TRAFFIC FLOW.

David

FUNCTIONAL SIDE OF ISLAND.....FROM LEFT IS A BASE CABINET, PANTRY PULL-OUT, 3" SPICE FILLER PULL-OUT AND MIXER LIFT CABINET.....THESE ARE ALL HIGHLIGHTED FURTHER DOWN.....IT'S USUALLY CODE BUT DON'T FORGET OUTLET(S) ON END(S) OF ISLAND.

David

OPPOSITE SIDE OF ISLAND.....CAN REALLY SEE RADIUSED CORNER TO ALLOW ROOM FOR REFR. DOORSWING AND TRAFFIC PASS-THRU.....DOESN'T AFFECT SEATING AREA.....NICE VIEW OF BEAUTIFUL FLOORING!

David

WE ALWAYS USE BASE ANGLE CABINET NEAR DOORS OR PASS-THRU'S.....ELIMINATES "HIP BANGING"..... ALSO IMPROVES FLOW AND ADDS MORE CHARACTER THAN A STANDARD SQUARE CABINET.....HERE YOU CAN REALLY SEE THE NOTCHED ISLAND TOP AND, OF COURSE, THAT FLOORING.

David

CAN'T BEAT THIS BLENDING OF CABINETRY, TOPS AND SUBWAY TILE BACKSPLASH.....NOTE TILE MEDALLION OVER COOKTOP.....IT'S HIGHLIGHTED IN PIC(S) FURTHER DOWN.

David

RANGE/COOKTOP WITH DECORATIVE HOOD ABOVE IS USUALLY THE CENTERPOINT (VISUALLY) OF THE ENTIRE KITCHEN.....NEEDS TO BE ENHANCED WITH PATTERNED TILES ABOVE COOKTOP AS IN THIS PIC.....THE EFFECT IS STUNNING.....LOTS OF IMPACT.....AGAIN NOTE BLENDING OF TONES AND PATTERNS BETWEEN TOP AND BACKSPLASHES.

David

DEPENDING ON APPLICATION WE LIKE TO USE BLANCO SILGRANIT SINKS.....NOTE LOW DIVIDE FOR WIDER POTS OR TRAYS.....DON'T FORGET THE GRIDS FOR THE BOTTOM.....INSTANT HOT WATER IS A REAL CONVENIENCE SO ALWAYS KEEP IT IN MIND FROM THE START.....HOLES ARE EASIER TO DRILL BEFORE THE TOP IS INSTALLED.......

David

ANOTHER SINK VIEW.....WHEREVER POSSIBLE CHOOSE THE REAR STRAINERS AS OPPOSED TO ONES IN THE CENTER OF THE SINK.....STILL LEAVES ROOM INSIDE FRONT OF CABINET ONCE PLUMBING MECHANICALS ARE INSTALLED.

David

THESE CLIENTS REALLY USE THEIR KITCHEN ALL THE TIME.....THE MIXER IS PROBABLY USED AS OFTEN AS ANY APPLIANCE IN THE WHOLE KITCHEN.....WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HAD TO PUT A MIXER THIS SIZE UP ON THE COUNTER?.....WITH A MIXER LIFT CABINET YOU COULD DO IT WITH ONE HAND!

David

WHEN MIXER LIFT IS CLOSED THERE'S STILL ROOM UNDERNEATH FOR STORAGE.....BE SURE TO PUT A ROLL-OUT TRAY THERE SO YOU CAN ACCESS THINGS EASILY.

David

LEFT OF THE MIXER LIFT CABINET IS A 3" SPICE FILLER PULL-OUT.....THERE'S ALSO ONE RIGHT OF THE COOKTOP AS YOU CAN SEE.....IF A FILLER IS NEEDED DURING THE INSTALLS, DON'T JUST PUT IN A BLANK ONE.....MAKE IT FUNCTIONAL!....THEY ALSO COME 6" WIDE.

David

NEXT TO THE 3" SPICE FILLER PULL-OUT SHOWN ABOVE IS A PANTRY PULL-OUT CABINET.....PRETTY OBVIOUS HOW IT WORKS.....WE LIKE THE PULL-OUTS IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS LIKE THESE .

David

ANOTHER VIEW (FROM OPPOSITE SIDE) OF THE PULL-OUTS ADDRESSED ABOVE.

David

CLOSE-UP OF 3" SPICE FILLER PULL-OUT RIGHT OF COOKTOP.....COULDN'T BE IN A MORE CONVENIENT LOCATION.....DON'T ALWAYS HAVE THE LUXUY TO FIT ONE THERE BUT WHEN WE CAN WE DOIT.

David

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.

David

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

David

WE PUT A POT-&-PAN DRAWER CABINET IN ALL OF OUR DESIGNS.....YOU CAN SEE WHY.....WHEN WE USE IT UNDER A COOKTOP WE HAVE INSTALLERS MODIFY THE TOP DRAWER BOX SO IT'S FUNCTIONAL!....SEE DETAILED PIC BELOW.
