Project Year: 2015
Country: United States
VIEW FROM F/R SHOWS ABOUT 1/3 OF THIS EXPANSIVE KITCHEN.....WE DIDN'T NEED TO MODIFY EXISTING WIDTH OF OPENING BECAUSE VISUAL WAS ALREADY GREAT.....PICS BELOW SHOW TRANSITION AROUND REST OF KITCHEN.
Tan
2nd VIEW MOVING FURTHER INTO KITCHEN.....WE DIDN'T CAP BEAM.....WOOD WAS ALREADY THERE AND ADDED TO OVERALL EFFECT.....WILL HIGHLIGHT SPECIFIC FEATURES FURTHER DOWN.....LOVE THE PENDANT FIXTURES!
Tan
3rd VIEW COMING AROUND KITCHEN TAKEN FROM BAY PATIO DOOR AREA.....NOTE SINK/CLEAN-UP AREA TUCKED OUT OF THE WAY.....PENINSULA HAS BASE ANGLE CABINET (WE LOVE THIS CABINET) WHICH TRANSITIONS PERFECTLY INTO F/R.....VISUAL FROM THIS POSTION IS QUITE DRAMATIC!
Tan
4th PIC SHOWS STOVE WALL VIEW INTO F/R.....WE ALWAYS OPEN KITCHENS UP FOR THE EXPANDED VISUAL.....IN THIS CASE, IT WAS ALREADY DONE FOR US!.....NOTE ISLAND L-SHAPE WITH OVERHANG.....FOLLOWS FLOW OF PENINSULA.....GOOD VIEW OF PENDANT FIXTURES.....(OUR CLIENTS ARE A HANDSOME COUPLE BUT WE STILL HAD...
Tan
"ENTERTAINMENT AREA" SITS ON IT'S OWN AWAY FROM KITCHEN AND HAS EVERYTHING THEY NEED.....WE TRANSITIONED DOWN TO STOCK 18"d VANITY BASE CABINETS TO FIT WITHIN TRIM CASING ON LEFT WALL.....SAVED OUR CLIENT $$.....NO CUSTOM BOX MODS.....SEE VIEW OF THIS FURTHER DOWN.
Tan
IF DOING KICK-ARSE APPLIANCES, SHOW EM OFF!.....WHAT A GREAT VISUAL YET SUPER FUNCTIONAL.....SEE HOW PENINSULA IS SO USEFUL GOING INTO F/R.....REMEMBER THAT WE DIDN'T CAP THAT BEAM.....IT ALREADY EXISTED AND TIES IT ALL TOGETHER....WE ALWAYS RUN B/S (THAT STANDS FOR "BACKSPLASH", BY THE WAY!) TILES...
Tan
STRUCTURE LAYED OUT PERFECTLY FOR US TO "TUCK" SINK/CLEAN-UP AREA AWAY FROM REST OF SOCIALLY FRIENDLY KITCHEN.....PUT THE DIRTY STUFF THERE FOR NOW AND LET THE PARTY CONTINUE!.....NOTE SIDE SPLASHES DUE TO WALLS ON BOTH SIDES.....OUT OF THE WAY BUT STILL INTEGRAL PART OF OVERALL KITCHEN DESIGN.
Tan
FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.....HERE'S LEFT WALL OF KITCHEN AS YOU WALK IN FROM FRONT HALLWAY.....DRAMATIC STOVE AND HOOD BACKED UP BY WOOD BEAM AT END SAY IT ALL SO WE DON'T HAVE TO.....CLOSE-UP W/DETAILS ON FLOORING COMES BELOW.
Tan
HERE'S RIGHT WALL VISUAL AS YOU WALK IN FROM FRONT HALLWAY.....AGAIN, INITIAL VISUAL DOES IT ALL.....NOTE HOW WE REDUCED DEPTH OF CABINETRY AT END OF RUN TO FIT USING STOCK VANITY CABS.....NOTHING BUT CHARACTER AND INTERESTING "THINGS" HAPPENING ON THIS WALL!
Tan
HAD TO ADD FLOORING PIC FOR A FEW REASONS.....GET AWAY FROM SQ. TILES IF POSSIBLE.....NO MATTER WHAT SIZE IS USED, ALWAYS OFFSET GROUT LINES.....ALONG WITH THAT, KEEP LINES AS THIN AS POSSIBLE.....YOU'RE SHOWING OFF THE TILES, NOT THE GROUT.....DON'T FORGET THAT GROUT COMES IN APPROX. 20 COLORS SO...
Tan
SINK BLENDS SO WELL WITH TOP AND HAS SOME UNIQUE FEATURES.....WE ALWAYS USE BOTTOM GRIDS.....NOTE THE INTEGRAL "SHELF" WITH THE BASKET STRAINER.
Tan
CLOSE-UP OF ISLAND SHOWS L-SHAPE TO TRANSITION INTO F/R AND WILL ALSO ACCOMODATE STOOLS, IF NECESSARY.....NOTE ROCKER SWITCH.....MOST CODES REQUIRE OUTLETS IN ISLANDS SO AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THE ELECTRICAL ANYWAY MIGHT AS WELL ADD SWITCHES TO CONTROL WHATEVER YOU WANT.
Tan
GOT A CENTRAL VAC SYSTEM?....THIS "SWEEP INLET" (AS THEY'RE CALLED) IS ON THE ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF A LONG TRAFFIC AREA.....WHILE VAC'S RUNNING, JUST OPEN IT AND SWEEP ALL THE DEBRIS INTO IT LIKE YOU'D USE A DUST PAN!.....WORKS GREAT.
