Attention was given to the focal point of the kitchen’s oversized island with the use of blizzard white Ceasarstone with a ‘waterfall’ detail, giving the functional island it’s presence as the anchor to the kitchen and family eating area. Fixtures included stainless steel Electrolux Icon dishwasher, cabinet-depth French door refrigerator with bottom freezer and 30″ gas range. The counter tops were blizzard white Ceasarstone highlighted with a 3/8″ glass and stone mosaic tile backsplash reminiscent of a colorful mid-century tile. Cabinetry was IKEA Akurum with Adel espresso drawer and door fronts; range exhaust hood was by Broan. With the use of out-of-the-box cabinetry and careful attention given to appliance and other finish selection, the end result was a functional open plan kitchen with a spectacular presence completed at a fraction of the cost of a comparable custom kitchen.
