Muel

Project Year: 2016
Country: United States
WE DID A LARGE AMOUNT OF STRUCTURAL FOR THIS CLIENT..... REMOVED/RELOCATED SEVERAL WALLS TO "OPEN THINGS UP".....NOW VISUAL GOES ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE FAMILY ROOM!....NOTICE ISLAND CABS. IN DIFFERENT FINISH ALONG WITH TOP.....GREAT EFFECT AGAINST PERIMETER CABS.
Muel
VIEW FROM OPPOSITE SIDE.....NOTE PUB-HEIGHT COUNTER.....WE LIKE ANGLED BASE CABINET ON END OF RUN.....ADDS CHARACTER AND REALLY IMPROVES TRAFFIC FLOW.....CAN SEE WET BAR TOWARDS BACK.....SEE BELOW FOR CLOSE-UP OF IT.
Muel
VIEW FROM SUNKEN F/R.....WET-BAR MATCHES ISLAND.....WHEN DOING GLASS DOORS BE SURE TO HAVE MATCHING INTERIORS WITH LIGHTING.....ALSO GOOD VIEW OF PUB HEIGHT COUNTER AND STOOLS.....FLOORING IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!
Muel
THIS VIEW SHOWS WALLS REMOVED CREATING FULL VIEW INTO BEAUTIFUL BACKYARD.....NOTE 2 CABINETS ON END OF ISLAND FACING RANGETOP.....DON'T COVER UP HEAT VENTS.....INSTEAD, RUN THEM THROUGH TOE KICK AS SHOWN IN SINK BASE.
Muel
ISLAND CLOSE-UP SHOWS FULL HEIGHT DOOR CABS. UNDER OVERHANG.....TRIANGLE CABINET WAS USED TO TRANSITION AROUND OUTSIDE CORNER OF "L" SHAPE.....BASE MICROWAVE CABINET IS A GOOD ALTERNATIVE IN SOME SITUATIONS.....WE ALWAYS STRIVE FOR 24" WIDE AREAS FOR SEATING.....HOW ABOUT THAT FLOORING!!
Muel
LOVE "CLEAN" LOOK OF INSET DOORS/DRAWERS.....WOOD FINISH IS BEAUTIFUL AS IS THE FLOORING.....ENTIRE ISLAND IS CABINETRY (NO FILLERS USED TO TRANSITION AROUND "L").....IT'S USUALLY CODE BUT DON'T FORGET TO HAVE OUTLETS IN ISLAND.
Muel
END OF ISLAND HAS 2 CABINETS FACING RANGE TOP WITH ROLL-OUT TRAYS.....NOTICE OUTLET ON THIS SIDE ALSO.....MECHANICALS RUN INSIDE OF CABINET WITH PLENTY OF ROOM.
Muel
INSTEAD OF JUST FOLLOWING CABINETRY WE FLARED OUT TOP WITH DIFFERENT RADII.....GAVE CLIENT AN EXTRA STOOL AND REALLY ADDED A LOT OF CHARACTER TO ISLAND.
Muel
SUPER EFFECT WITH STONE BACKSPLASH.....BELIEVE IT OR NOT, CLIENT DID INSTALLS HIMSELF AND HE'S NOT A TILE SETTER!.....UNDERCABINET LIGHTING REALLY HELPS SHOW OFF THE TILE....HOW ABOUT THOSE MATCHING SWITCHPLATES!
Muel
THIS PIC IS TO SHOW UNDERCABINET LIGHTING.....WE MADE THE SWITCH TO LED LIGHT STRIPS YEARS AGO.....THEY FOLLOW ALL 3 SIDES OF THE CABINET (WHICH GIVES TREMENDOUS TASK LIGHTING), LAST 50,000+ HRS., BURN COOL AND COST ALMOST NOTHING TO RUN!
Muel
WHEN WE HAVE ROOM WE LIKE TO ADD A PANTRY PULL-OUT.....THEY CAN ALSO BE IN A WALL CABINET (SEE THE "Ols" KITCHEN IN OUR PROJECTS).....GOOD VIEW OF THE ANGLED BASE CABINET.....THAT'S A POT-&-PAN DRAWER CABINET UNDER THE RANGETOP.
Muel
INSTEAD OF USING A BLANK FILLER MAKE IT A SPICE FILLER PULL-OUT.....THEY COME STANDARD IN 3" AND 6" WIDTHS.....TRAY-DIVIDER CABINET NEXT TO RANGETOP IS VERY USEFUL BUT SO OFTEN FORGOTTEN.....THAT'S A GARBAGE PULL-OUT NEXT TO IT.
Muel
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.
Muel
STAINLESS STEEL DECORATIVE HOOD IS ALMOST ALWAYS THE FOCAL POINT OF THE KITCHEN.....BE SURE TO RUN BACKSPLASH TO THE CEILING BEHIND THE HOOD.....AGAIN, HOMEOWNER DID A GREAT JOB INSTALLING THE TILES.....SEE HOW SWITCHPLATES MATCH.....HOW WONDERFULLY DRAMATIC!
Muel
GOOD CLOSE-UP OF INSET DOORS AND 5-PIECE INSET DRAWERS.....CUP HANDLES ARE A REALLY GOOD COMBINATION WITH THE DRAWERS.
Muel
A LOT OF OUR CLIENTS ARE GOING TO SINGLE BOWL SINKS.....THIS SQUARE CORNER CONFIGURATION GIVES ADDITIONAL ROOM.....BE SURE TO GET THE GRID(S) FOR THE BOTTOM.....THAT'S AN "AIR SWITCH" NEXT TO THE FAUCET FOR THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL.
Muel
CROWN MOLDING STANDS OUT AGAINST THE CEILING SO GIVE IT SOME CHARACTER BY STAGGERING THE DEPTH OF THE WALL CABS.....CAN'T STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A GREAT TRIM CARPENTER.....CUTTING COMPOUND MITERS ON CROWN MOLDING IS AN ART.....NOTICE THAT THERE ARE NO GAPS WHERE THEY COME TOGETHER.
Muel
WHEN YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL KITCHEN WHY NOT SHOW IT OFF!.....CLIENTS HAVE FANTASTIC BACKYARD AND ENTERTAIN LOTS OF GUESTS.....KITCHEN VISUAL IS STUNNING, EVEN FROM THE OUTSIDE!
