Project Year: 2018
Country: United States
WE DID EXTENSIVE STRUCTURAL MODS. (REMOVED 4 WALLS) TO TOTALLY OPEN UP THIS KITCHEN.....THIS VIEW IS FROM THE FRONT HALLWAY FOYER.....HUGE ISLAND (APPROX. 175" x 40" IS REALLY DRAMATIC AND SO FUNCTIONAL.....SEATING FOR 8!!.....SEE PICS FROM ALL POSITIONS BELOW TO APPRECIATE THE OPEN VISUAL THIS...
GnK
2ND ISLAND VIEW LOOKING INTO FAM. ROOM.....FAMILY AND FRIENDS CAN ALL CONVERSE FROM VIRTUALLY ANY LOCATION IN ANY ROOM.....GOTTA LOVE THIS SPECTACULAR ISLAND.
GnK
VIEW FROM OPPOSITE END (FIREPLACE/FAM. ROOM) REALLY SHOWS HOW EXPANSIVE THIS KITCHEN IS.....BEAUTIFUL BLENDING OF CABINETRY, CTR. TOPS., FLOORING AND BACKSPLASH COLORS.....THIS IS JUST THEIR KITCHEN TABLE!.....THERE IS ALSO A LARGER TABLE IN THE DINING ROOM (OFF TO THE RIGHT).
GnK
WHAT GREAT COUNTER SPACE.....THAT'S A DESK IN THE BACK (NEXT TO THE FOYER DOOR) WHICH WILL BE FEATURED BELOW.....CLOSED DOOR IS STRUCTURAL PANTRY WITH SPECIAL SHELVING (ALSO SHOWN BELOW).
GnK
BACK FAR RIGHT IS D/R WITH LARGER TABLE.....NOTE HOW EVERYONE AROUND TABLE CAN INTERACT WITH PEOPLE IN KITCHEN, KITCHEN TABLE, AND BAR (WHERE THIS PIC WAS TAKEN FROM).....SEE STRUCTURAL COLUMN ON RIGHT.....THERE WERE WALLS COMING OFF ALL 4 SIDES WHICH CUT UP THE SPACE INTO 4 MUCH SMALLER ROOMS.......
GnK
GREAT VIEW OF GORGEOUS GRANITE CTR. TOP.....SMALL BUFFET ON LEFT FITS IN L-SHAPED WALLS PERFECTLY AND IS TREMENDOUSLY FUNCTIONAL.....SEE OPEN CABINETS CLOSE-UP PIC FURTHER DOWN AND YOU'LL SEE WHY.
GnK
CLOSE-UP OF VERY FUNCTIONAL ISLAND CABS.....CAB. ON END (BY SINGLE STOOL) IS TRAY DIVIDER.....CAB. ON RIGHT OF STOOL HAS 2 ROLL-OUT TRAYS.....REST OF CABINETS ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN PICS FURTHER BELOW.
GnK
VIEW FROM FRONT OF FIREPLACE.....NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE YOU'RE IN CONTACT WITH EVERYONE.....BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THEY USE ALL THAT SEATING!
GnK
LOOKING AT KITCHEN FROM FAR CORNER OF FAM. RM.....WHAT A VIEW.....LOVE HOW EVERYTHING IS SO BRIGHT WITH WALLS REMOVED.
GnK
ISLAND CLOSE-UP FROM OTHER END.....CABINET ON END FACING OUT IS A BOOKCASE CAB.....IT'S SHOWN OPENED IN PIC BELOW.....NOTE LIGHTING ON STOOL SEATS.....IT'S COMING FROM UNDER THE COUNTER!!.....AGAIN, YOU'LL SEE IT BELOW.
GnK
HERE'S BOOKCASE CABINET ON END OF ISLAND PICTURED ABOVE.....GREAT SHOT OF BEAUTIFUL WOOD FLOORING!
GnK
BAR AREA W/BEVERAGE FRIDGE.....ANGLED CABINETS ON EACH END IMPROVE TRAFFIC FLOW AND GIVE REALLY UNIQUE CHARACTER TO DESIGN.....USING SAME CTR. AND BACKSPLASH TIES IT INTO THE REST OF THE KITCHEN.
GnK
WALL CABS ABOVE BAR UNIT IN LAST PIC.....INCREASED DEPTH OF CENTER CAB BY 3" AND ADDED CLIPPED CORNERS.....THEN ADDED GLASS DOORS W/INTERIOR LIGHTING TO REALLY MAKE IT "POP"!.....PUT ANGLED CABS. ON ENDS TO MATCH ANGLED BASE CABS.....NOTE HOW UNDERCABINET LIGHTING ILLUMINATES ENTIRE WORK AREA.
GnK
CLOSE-UP TO FEATURE INTERIOR CABINET LIGHTING.....DON'T JUST PUT A PUCK LIGHT IN TOP OF CABINET BECAUSE IT WON'T LIGHT UP THE ENTIRE CABINET.....INSTEAD, USE LED LIGHT STRIPS AND RUN THEM INSIDE THE DOOR FRAME THUS LIGHTING UP THE ENTIRE CABINET FROM THE FRONT!
GnK
DESK AREA.....ANGLED END CABINET REALLY IMPROVES TRAFFIC FLOW AND GIVES A UNIQUE LOOK.....MATCHED CABINETRY AND CTR. TOP TO TIE IT IN WITH REST OF KITCHEN.....WINDOW CASING WAS TOO CLOSE TO CORNER FOR A CABINET.....SEE HOW WE HANDLED THIS PROBLEM BELOW.
GnK
WE HANDLED THE PROBLEM OF THAT TIGHT CORNER DEPTH BY USING A STOCK DEPTH VANITY CABINET THEN A STOCK 12"d CABINET ON THE END.....FIT IN PERFECTLY AND DIDN'T COST OUR CLIENT ANY CUSTOM CUT-DOWN CHARGES.
GnK
CLOSE-UP OF BUFFET.....WAS ABLE TO USE 3 STOCK CABINETS TO FILL CORNER SPACE.....NEXT PIC SHOWS THE 3 CABINETS OPENED UP.....NOTE MATCHING BACKSPLASH AND COUNTER TOPS ON KNEE-WALLS!
GnK
BUFFET IS MADE UP OF 3 STOCK WIDTH CABINETS.....FROM LEFT-BASE CAB. W/2 ROLL-OUT TRAYS, SUPER-SUSAN (NO POLE), TRAY DIVIDER CAB.
GnK
MODIFIED THIS AREA BY BUILDING STRUCTURAL PANTRY (W/DOOR) AND LEFT JUST ENOUGH WALL TO INSTALL DBL. OVEN CABINET.....FIT TOGETHER GREAT!
GnK
HERE'S INSIDE OF STRUCTURAL PANTRY (NEXT TO DBL. OVEN).....HOMEOWNER DID FANTASTIC JOB OF INSTALLING SHELVING AND INTERIOR LIGHTING.....EVERY INCH OF EVERY SHELF IS LIT FROM FRONT-TO-BACK!
GnK
3 CABINETS UNDER THE COOKTOP.....THEY ARE 12" PANTRY-PULL-OUT CAB., 39" POT-&-PAN DRAWER CAB. AND 3" SPICE FILLER PULL-OUT......THESE 3 REALLY GET THE JOB DONE!
GnK
WE ALWAYS PUT A POT & PAN 3-DRAWER CABINET UNDER THE COOKTOP BUT WITH A MAJOR TWIST.....WE MAKE SURE THE TOP DRAWER IS FUNCTIONAL.....WE DO THIS BY MODIFYING THE DRAWER BOX TO ACCOMMODATE THE MECHANICALS UNDER THE COOKTOP.....IN THIS CASE, THE MECHANICALS WERE IN THE BACK RIGHT OF THE COOKTOP SO WE...
GnK
ANOTHER VIEW OF HOW TOP DRAWER BOX WAS MODIFIED SO DRAWER COULD FUNCTION BELOW COOKTOP.....SO MANY COMPANIES JUST REMOVE THE BOX COMPLETELY AND ATTACH THE DRAWER FRONT SO IT'S PURELY DECORATIVE AND DOESN'T OPEN.....NOT GOOD.
GnK
CLOSE-UP OF 9" TRAY-DIVIDER CABINET.....WE PLACED IT SO STOOLS COULD BE USED ON EACH SIDE OF IT!
GnK
THIS PIC IS TO SHOW THE UNDER-COUNTER LIGHTING FOR THE BAR STOOLS.....NEXT PIC SHOWS HOW WE DID IT!
GnK
WE USED LED LIGHT STRIPS UNDER THE CTR. TO LIGHT UP THE STOOLS.....THE STRIPS ARE VERY FLAT AND DON'T INTERFERE WITH YOUR KNEES.
GnK
GREAT VIEW OF SINK, FAUCET(S), CTR. TOP AND BACKSPLASH.....BEAUTIFUL COMBINATION.....WE'RE USING NON-STAINLESS STEEL SINKS (SUCH AS SILGRANIT) MORE AND MORE .....WE ALWAYS SUGGEST GETTING THE SINK GRIDS.
GnK
JUST TO SHOW CLOSE-UP OF CTR. TOP AND BACKSPLASH.....THEY REALLY GO GREAT TOGETHER.....DON'T FORGET UNDER-CABINET LIGHTING!
GnK
HAD TO SHOW A CLOSE-UP OF THIS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL GRANITE.....GOTTA LOVE THIS HUGE ISLAND!
