With two elementary school age kids and a dog, this clients' kitchen was understandably full of commotion at all times. In the old kitchen configuration, the standard table and chairs didn't allow enough seating to include guests during casual get-togethers with other families (where the dining room was too formal of a choice). This built-in banquette was the perfect answer. The bench cabinetry itself is Shaker in style, but we used contemporary fabric with a big print to make it more hip. Under each seat there are deep, full-extension drawers which provide much needed storage for the kids toys and other bulky items. The custom made dining table sits upon hidden casters for ease of moving. Photo Credit: Jeff Freeman Photography (See his full gallery on Houzz.com)

Modern design that balances elegance with natural warmth. The perimeter of the kitchen is framed with sleek, black-painted cabinets, exuding a contemporary and refined atmosphere. The cabinetry is paired with polished gold hardware, which adds a luxurious touch and a hint of warmth, creating a striking contrast with the deep, matte black finish. Paired with rifted white oak island and quartz countertops with a waterfall edge.
