The owners of this mid-1960s home love its location, landscaping and fully-grown trees, so instead of building new they decided to undertake a truly ambitious remodel. The dramatic end result is shown here. The kitchen and dining room were combined into one flowing space, graced with the warmth and rustic charm of Showplace Vintage Autumn cabinetry. Bright accents are created with the strategic placement of Showplace Antique Linen elements.

Careful attention was paid to materials and details. Note the scraped-cherry floor, and the tumbled stone backsplash accented with glass tiles. Also note the lovely stone tops and top-quality appliances and fixtures.

The Cambridge door style, with its raised panel and mitered frame, is a great choice for this setting of elegant comfort.

The island adds a bright touch to the setting with its beaded panel in Antique Linen. Black elements like moldings and corbels contribute important visual contrast.
