This kitchen was in desperate need of rework, and screamed potential! While the footprint was a good size, the layout was closed off and cramped, lacking both length and width, and just not very conducive for this family. They had a fair amount of cabinet space and a separate walk in pantry, but the kitchen still felt small and closed off. By removing the built in pantry, we were able to lengthen the kitchen and get this family all the bells and whistles they could desire. We didn’t miss a single opportunity! The cooktop wall features a patterned cement tile across the entire wall. It’s complete with large drawers for pot and pan storage, pull outs for spices, and a beautiful drop in range top with stainless steel hood. The back wall features a stand out concrete apron sink, panel front dishwasher, floating wood shelves, and soft gold wall sconces. Front and center is the lengthy island complete with a microwave drawer, beverage refrigerator, large storage drawers, waterfall edges, an illuminated shiplap back panel and seating for five! Lastly, we couldn’t remove a pantry and not replace that storage with something even better. That was the concept for the full height pantry wall. While these are reduced in depth for proper clearances, these pantries hold everything and then some! We love the contrast of light and dark elements paired with the warmth of the natural white oak floors and gold accents.
