With its functional wraparound design, this kitchen works hard in an active family home. But what is perhaps most striking is the rich interplay of textures, including the backsplash tile, the stone counter tops, and the natural stone above the range hood. One of the most important textures is provided by the distressed Showplace rustic alder cabinets. With its diverse patterns, open knots and hand distressing, this lovely wood is known for its personality. In the Autumn stain with Ebony glazing, it creates a setting of glowing warmth as well.
