Featuring a fresh view of the new pantry wall, kitchen table, and food preparation area. The pantry wall provides much needed storage and a convenient staging area for storing groceries. The custom 36" x 48" table and chairs was created when the homeowner couldn't find an appropriate size and style to complement the cabinetry This view of the kitchen featuring the rich old fashioned tones of the custom alder cabinetry with frameless full overlay doors in a shaker split door style and balanced by the Geriba Beach granite with a full backsplash. The countertop is one of the focal points of the kitchen. The countertop selected was Geriba Beach Granite which is Brazilian granite noted for its 'great movement'. It is an ivory colored granite with very rich random patterns of burnt amber which complements the wood tones of the cabinetry. It features crystals that display an opalescent quality providing the granite a three dimensional character that, according to the homeowner, 'sparkle' when highlighted. A full height backsplash was cut from the same slab as the countertop and provides continuity and visual appeal. To avoid dark surfaces, eight 6" recessed dimmable lights were strategically located for perimeter task lighting, and either SNL LED under cabinet lights were used as well. Shaw Medin 18" square porcelain floor tile in a lighter tone helps create the illusion of a larger space with less grout joints.

We decided on a retro look for our new kitchen with lots of display shelving, happy colors, laminate counters (no cracking!), a chubby old stove, period details and “linoleum” flooring.
