Project Year: 2017
WE DID EXTENSIVE STRUCTURAL MODIFICATIONS ON THIS KITCHEN.....THIS PIC IS FROM FAMILY ROOM WHICH WAS SEPARATED BY OLD-FASHIONED WOOD BANISTER AND DIFFERENT FLOORING.....FURTHER BACK (BEHIND HOOD) WAS A D/R WALL WHICH WE REMOVED.....THE RESULTING OPEN VISUAL IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.....SEE PICS...
Pavel
CLOSER VIEW FROM ABOVE PIC.....NOTE 2-TIERED ISLAND/TABLE COMBO, PENINSULA HOOD, ANGLE BASE & WALL CABS. ON ENDS.....THESE ARE JUST A FEW UNIQUE DESIGN ELEMENTS IN THIS KITCHEN....MANY MORE DETAILED PICS BELOW.
Pavel
VIEW OF SINK WALL AND GOOD SHOT OF TABLE HEIGHT COUNTER ON END OF STD. HEIGHT ISLAND.
Pavel
OPPOSITE WALL.....WE ALWAYS RUN "TALLS" (DBL. OVEN, PANTRY, REFR.) TOGETHER.....FAR MORE DRAMATIC.....IF WE WERE TO SPREAD THEM OUT IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS THEY WOULD CUT UP ALL THE COUNTER TOP RUNS.....REALLY LIKE PENDANT FIXTURES.....COLOR COORDINATION IS STUNNING.....IN VERY BACK YOU CAN JUST...
Pavel
SINK WALL CLOSE-UP.....AGAIN, GREAT COLOR COMBOS.....GLASS SUBWAY TILES "FRAME" SMALLER GLASS TILES.....NO TRIM ON WINDOW ADDS TO EFFECT.....HAMMERED COPPER APRON SINK IS DETAILED BELOW.....NOTE OUTLET ON END OF ISLAND THAT ALSO SERVICES TABLE HEIGHT ISLAND.
Pavel
ISLAND "TABLE" MAKES FOR GREAT TRANSITION FROM STD. ISLAND.....OVERHANG IS APPROX. 12" ON ALL 3 SIDES AND HAS NO LEGS OR CORBELS SUPPORTING IT.....WHAT WE USED IS FEATURED SEVERAL PICS DOWN.....NOTE ANGLED BASE CABINET.....WE USED ONE ON EACH END RUN OF CABS.....ALLOWS FOR BETTER TRAFFIC FLOW AND...
Pavel
ANOTHER CLOSE-UP OF ISLAND TABLE.....PRIMARILY HIGHLIGHTS ELECTRICAL OUTLET AND HOW TOP WAS "NOTCHED" AROUND ISLAND CABINET.
Pavel
HERE'S WHAT THE KITCHEN LOOKS LIKE FROM THE D/R.....NOTE ROOM ON BOTH SIDES AND BEHIND COOKTOP.....GREAT PENINSULA HOOD.....ALL ANGLE WALL CAB. HAVE GLASS DOORS.....GREAT VISUAL ALL THE WAY INTO F/R FIREPLACE!
Pavel
VIEW OF OTHER SIDE OF D/R.....LIKE THE PENDANT FIXTURE OVER TABLE.....NOTE HOW RUN OF "TALLS" HAVE STAGGERED DEPTHS.....REALLY ADDS CHARACTER.....ANOTHER BASE ANGLE CABINET AS YOU ENTER FROM THE L/R AREA.
Pavel
OUR 2ND ROW OF BASE CABS. ON THE PENINSULA EXTENDED INTO THE D/R AREA.....NO PROBLEM EXCEPT FOR THE BAY WINDOW AREA.....SO WE ANGLED THE CTR. TOP BACK LEAVING ROOM AWAY FROM THE WINDOW.
Pavel
NOW WE'VE LEFT THE D/R AND HAVE MOVED INTO THE L/R.....WHAT A VISUAL AS YOU ENTER FROM THIS ROOM.....PIC SAYS IT ALL!.....NOTE-YOU CAN SEE A BIT OF THE L/R BUFFET IN RIGHT FOREGROUND.....IT'S FEATURED BELOW.
Pavel
VIEW MOVING FURTHER AROUND TO FRONT DOOR OF L/R.....PASS THRU ON LEFT IS D/R LEADING INTO KITCHEN.....BUFFET IS SAME CABINETRY, TOPS AND B/S TILES AS USED IN THE KITCHEN.....TIES IT ALL TOGETHER.....GIVES VISITORS A SMALL TASTE OF WHAT'S AROUND THE CORNER!.....DETAILS OF THIS DESIGN SHOWN FURTHER...
Pavel
NEVER DO STRAIGHT RUN OF CABINETS WHEN YOU CAN DO THIS.....INCREASED DEPTH OF CENTER BASE AND WALL CABS. BY 3".....THEN ADDED 3" FLUTED CLIPPED CORNERS TO RETURN TO ORIGINAL CABS. ON EITHER SIDE.....WHAT A GREAT LOOK AND WAY MORE CHARACTER!
Pavel
INSTEAD OF A BASE CAB. WE USED A BEVERAGE FRIDGE.....JUST INSTALLED THE CLIPPED CORNERS AS IF THERE WAS A CABINET THERE.
Pavel
CLOSE-UP OF WALL CABS. SHOWS THE FLUTED CLIPPED CORNERS.....WHEN DOING GLASS DOORS BE SURE TO DO FINISHED INTERIORS AND INTERIOR LIGHTING.
Pavel
STAINLESS HOODS COME IN NUMEROUS CONFIGURATIONS.....THIS PENINSULA HOOD WITH THE GLASS "UMBRELLA" IS ONE OF OUR FAVORITES.....IT'S THE FOCAL POINT OF THE KITCHEN SO SHOULD HAVE THE PIZZAZZ.....IT SURE DOES!
Pavel
THERE ARE 3 PLACES TO PUT THE MICROWAVE- ABOVE THE RANGE, IN A WALL CABINET AND IN A BASE CABINET AS WE DID HERE.....WE'RE DOING THIS MORE AND MORE.....THEY'RE ADDING NEW BASE CAB. MICROWAVE DESIGNS CONSTANTLY.
Pavel
THIS ISLAND CABINET IS RIGHT OF THE MICROWAVE CABINET REFERRED TO ABOVE.....IT WAS CUSTOM MODIFIED TO HOLD SPICE JARS.....WHEN DRAWER IS OPEN, THE TOP SHELF GLIDES BACK TO EXPOSE THE LOWER SPICE RACK!
Pavel
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.
Pavel
CLOSE-UP OF HOW WE HAD THE TOP DRAWER BOX MODIFIED SO IT WAS FUNCTIONAL UNDER COOKTOP.....HEIGHT OF DRAWER BOX HAD TO BE REDUCED BUT IT STILL HOLDS ALL SORTS OF IMPLEMENTS.....THEN THE RIGHT SIDE HAD TO BE REBUILT IN ORDER TO LEAVE ROOM FOR MECHANICALS UNDER COOKTOP.....SURE WORKS!
Pavel
WE LIKE TO USE ANGLED BASE (AND WALL) CABINETS AT END OF RUN, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE'S A PASS-THRU.....IN THIS CASE, THERE'S A SLIDING DOOR.....MAKES FLOW TREMENDOUSLY BETTER AND ADDS CHARACTER AS COMPARED TO A STD. SQUARE CABINET.
Pavel
HERE'S A GOOD EXAMPLE OF "INS-&-OUTS" (AS WE CALL STAGGERED DEPTHS OF CABS.) WHEN WE DO THEM.....YOU CAN REALLY SEE HOW THE VISUAL OF CROWN AGAINST THE CEILING STANDS OUT AND ADDS SUCH CHARACTER.....LOOK CLOSELY AT THE VARIOUS SEAMS ON THE CROWN MOLDING.....THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPOUND MITER CUTS...
Pavel
CLOSE-UP OF ABOVE PIC SHOWING PERFECT SEAMS IN CROWN MOLDING.....AS WE SAID, YOU REALLY NEED THE BEST TRIM CARPENTER YOU CAN FIND.....IF THERE WERE SPACES YOU'D SEE THE WHITE CEILING RIGHT AWAY.
Pavel
CROWN MOLDING USUALLY JUST RUNS BACK TO WALL AND STOPS IN THIS TYPE OF CONFIGURATION.....TRY RUNNING IT STRAIGHT ACROSS LIKE WE DID HERE.....REALLY GREAT EFFECT!
Pavel
COMBINATION OF TOPS, BACKSPLASH, CABS., SINK, FAUCET AND FLOORING IS JUST BEAUTIFUL.....UNIQUE HAMMERED COPPER APRON SINK REALLY ENHANCES THE VISUAL!
Pavel
NORMALLY THE MAIN VISUAL IN A KITCHEN IS THE COOKTOP AND DECORATIVE HOOD.....THE SINK AREA IS USUALLY "JUST THERE".....NOT IN THIS CASE.....HAMMERED COPPER FARM SINK REALLY DRAWS ATTENTION.....THE OIL RUBBED BRONZE FAUCET AND SOAP DISPENSER BRING IT ALL TOGETHER.
Pavel
3cm (1.25") GRANITE SHOULDN'T EXTEND MORE THAN 12" WITHOUT SOME SORT OF SUPPORT (CORBEL, LEG, ETC.).....BUT THEY GET IN THE WAY!.....ANSWER IS TO AFFIX STEEL PLATES TO CABINET AND EXTEND AS NECESSARY TO SUPPORT TOP.....NOTE HOW CABS. ARE NOTCHED SO TOP STAYED LEVEL.....ALSO SEE THE "GOR" KITCHEN.
Pavel
CLOSE-UP OF SINK AREA TO SHOW THE BACKSPLASH TILES.....THE LED UNDERCABINET LIGHTING REALLY MAKES THE GLASS "POP".....ALWAYS USE UNDERCABINET LIGHTING.....WE USE LED'S EXCLUSIVELY.....SOME CAN BE DIMMABLE.
Pavel
COOKTOPS ON AN ISLAND OR PENINSULA NOT ONLY NEED SPACE ON EACH SIDE (USUALLY 12" MINIMUM) BUT ALSO IN THE BACK.....PIC FURTHER ABOVE SHOWS THE SPACE WE MADE BEHIND THIS COOKTOP.....ANOTHER VIEW OF THE GREAT COLOR COMBOS.
Pavel
IN SEVERAL OF THE ABOVE PICS WE'VE COMMENTED ON UNDERCABINET LIGHTING SO WE'VE INCLUDED THIS CLOSE-UP.....WE MADE THE TRANSITION FROM HALOGEN PUCK LIGHTS TO LED LIGHT STRIPS YEARS AGO.....THEY BURN COOL, LAST 50,000+ HOURS AND COST NOTHING TO RUN.....THEY GIVE FULL TASK LIGHTING TO CTRS. WITH NO...
Pavel
ANOTHER VIEW OF THE BEAUTIFUL BACKSPLASH TILE AND UNDERCABINET LIGHTING.....GREAT LOOK!
