This kitchen was designed and handcrafted for an Italian chef who loves to entertain large family gatherings. The sage green cabinets were handcrafted by our Caves Millwork Custom Cabinetry Brand to complement the white cabinetry. -Allison Caves, CKD Caves Kitchens

Eat-in kitchen - small coastal galley light wood floor eat-in kitchen idea in Seattle with a double-bowl sink, beaded inset cabinets, white cabinets, laminate countertops and white appliances

Mid-century modern home completely renovated in the entryway, kitchen and living room; the natural ledge stone fireplace and entry finish the space with a genuinely dated appeal.

Quinn and Paige, residents of this tired 1960’s tri-level home hated their kitchen. As a matter of fact, prior to making plans to renovate the first floor - they considered selling the home, but were reluctant because of its enviable location near the heart of downtown Barrington which was within walking distance to local stores and all their favorite places. So instead they contacted Advance Design Studio after hearing about them from a neighbor, to rescue their tired home and give it new life. The very first plan was to remove the constricting walls surrounding the original kitchen, and open the expansive first floor living room and dining area to the new heart of the space; a stunning state of the art coastal designed kitchen. Exposing attractive beams in the vaulted ceiling created an interesting structural detail that suits the open plan and salutes the original architecture of the home, further emphasizing the height of the new space enjoyed now by the family as a great room. The stage was set for the seaside feel of this kitchen by pairing crisp white painted maple cabinets with Dura Supreme’s one of kind hand weathered finish on the island in soft blue-green finish. But the authentic feeling of being on your favorite beach was supremely achieved by the matching of unique Mt. Claire marble on the island and the specialty Wareham acid washed stone on the perimeter counter tops. Pictures don’t do justice to the feel of this stone under your hand; its water-washed texture reminds instantly of summer vacations collecting rocks softly etched by hundreds of waves. Stainless steel appliances and satin nickel hardware shine brightly against the backdrop of bright white subway tiles accentuated by subtle grey grout lines contributing to the nautical feel of this comfortable kitchen. Seeded glass door cabinetry reminiscent of beach grasses dress up the space just enough, and a proud 6” stacked crown molding extends above 36” wall cabinets into the expanse of the now taller space; balancing this kitchen nicely within its newly integrated home. Features in this kitchen include a built in standard depth refrigerator, pull out spice racks, tall tray dividers and wood super Susan with double pull out trash and recycling. A cutlery divider holds sharp knives, and an angled cabinet was customized to hold a secret USB charging station. The bright white Kohler farm sink is graced by an elegant bridge faucet in brushed nickel. This now airy and spacious kitchen has room for guest and family to congregate around the large island, complete with stools and attractive hidden storage for seldom used entertainment pieces. “I was sold when I saw the drawings. My designer nailed it, down to every last storage idea and coastal detail I envisioned, it was all in there. It was unbelievable how accurate her interpretation was of what was in my head; working with her made my kitchen renovation so easy, it’s as if she literally read my mind”, said Paige enthusiastically. The woman of the house expressed upon completion not only her love for her fantastic new cooking space, but how renovating her kitchen has given new life to the entire home. Talk of moving has been relegated to the recycling bin, and instead the family is discussing plans to renovate the master bath now that they’ve decided to stay for the long term. Friends who visit the home do a double-take as they recognize the new space’s dramatic transformation from original cramped and closed spaces - to the now amazingly fresh open kitchen that has become the center of every gathering and family meal.

Colors played an integral part in the design of the kitchen. The color orange was strategically and artistically incorporated into the design by using it as a pop of color in only two wall cabinets. It was also extended into the breakfast bar countertop by creating a waterfall edge. The breakfast bar was also a way to separate the kitchen from the dining room while maintaining an open layout. The raised countertop also created a unique feature looking from within the kitchen and into the dining room. The raised countertop was positioned above the main countertop and cabinets, creating a pocket of space for cell phones and smaller items.

The Quarry Mill's Silver Cloud natural thin stone veneer looks stunning on the exterior of this beautiful home. Silver Cloud is an elegant dimensional stone with semi-consistent color tones including light blue/grey, buff and soft charcoal. The thin stone veneer showcases the interior part of the natural quarried limestone that has been split with a hydraulic press. One of the neat and unique things about Silver Cloud is there are some visible fossils within the stone. This natural stone veneer is dimensional cut into heights of 2.25”, 5” and 7.75”. Larger heights are available upon request. The stone is shown with a standard half-inch grey raked mortar joint between the individual pieces.

We were hired to turn this standard townhome into an eclectic farmhouse dream. Our clients are worldly traveled, and they wanted the home to be the backdrop for the unique pieces they have collected over the years. We changed every room of this house in some way and the end result is a showcase for eclectic farmhouse style.
