The client’s goal was to create a kitchen that maximized storage space and countertop space, while keeping with the traditional design aesthetic of the home. Double stacked upper cabinets took advantage of the high ceilings and an island with pull out cabinets concealed the microwave. All new appliances other than the industrial range were incorporated. Upper and under cabinet lighting was installed with new island pendant lights in an amber accented glass. This coordinated with the custom made glass backsplash tile from Italy. The hardwood floors were refinished throughout to coordinate the kitchen and living / dining rooms on the main level. New wall coverings and paint colors adorn the living room area and the collection of Asian art and puppets were installed on custom made rods.
