The waterfall island counter is a timeless statement, making the counter top a greater feature in the space. Because this is a lighter counter top, it also helps make the space brighter.

Blonde woods and brass-trimmed pendants are beautiful accents for this high contrast palette. Matte black and white kitchens are a sophisticated and timeless trend that’s easy to achieve with Cambria quartz countertops and Benjamin Moore paints in Classic Gray, Simply White and Black Ink hues. This space features an Ella™ kitchen island and backsplash and White Cliff™ perimeter counters. A spacious butler’s pantry offers a sleek storage and prep space.

  Free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW   Our clients and their three teenage kids had outgrown the footprint of their existing home and felt they needed some space to spread out. They came in with a couple of sets of drawings from different architects that were not quite what they were looking for, so we set out to really listen and try to provide a design that would meet their objectives given what the space could offer. We started by agreeing that a bump out was the best way to go and then decided on the size and the floor plan locations of the mudroom, powder room and butler pantry which were all part of the project. We also planned for an eat-in banquette that is neatly tucked into the corner and surrounded by windows providing a lovely spot for daily meals. The kitchen itself is L-shaped with the refrigerator and range along one wall, and the new sink along the exterior wall with a large window overlooking the backyard. A large island, with seating for five, houses a prep sink and microwave. A new opening space between the kitchen and dining room includes a butler pantry/bar in one section and a large kitchen pantry in the other. Through the door to the left of the main sink is access to the new mudroom and powder room and existing attached garage. White inset cabinets, quartzite countertops, subway tile and nickel accents provide a traditional feel. The gray island is a needed contrast to the dark wood flooring. Last but not least, professional appliances provide the tools of the trade needed to make this one hardworking kitchen.
