Photos taken by J.W. Smith. This kitchen was designed to bridge the gap between contemporary and traditional styles since the architectural style of the house is traditional, but the owner's taste leans towards contemporary. The owner wanted the cabinets to be different from the often seen white painted cabinets, but also wanted the kitchen to appear light and breezy. The purpose of the glass tile work is to create a textural change from soft to chrisp and clean. The white dish pantry seen near the kitchen table was an existing piece. On either side, closed door drywall niches were built out to flank the dish pantry.
