Sitting at your kitchen bar enjoying the ocean view, or visiting with the cook while relaxing on custom bar stools, this kitchen has it all. Recycled glass countertops, refrigerator drawers, built-in desk, fireplace in nook area, built-in plate racks and fruit baskets, columns, mechanical blinds under cornice boxes, and views from every window.

This inverted box pleat valance was designed to be the finishing touch in a kitchen. Complimentary pillows were made to accent the design in the open concept adjoining family room.

Designer: Barbara Stowe, Allied ASID The clients were looking for a complete update of their original 1960's kitchen. They requested a clean and fresh look that would withstand the test of time. Although the footprint remained the same, eliminating soffits allowed for full height cabinets and made the space look larger. Brookhaven by Wood-Mode cabinetry, a narrow pull-out pantry cabinet and custom built-in plate rack provide plenty of storage and the dual-fuel Wolf range and Sub-Zero refrigerator are welcome upgrades. Classic colors of gray and yellow are repeated in the handmade ceramic tile back splash, the granite counter tops, porcelain plank tile flooring, decorative valance and the numerous fabrics. Antique chairs upholstered with new fabrics and a farmhouse table made from old doors add warmth, while polished nickel hardware and Schonbek crystal pendants add a bit of bling. The result is a kitchen that is wonderful to cook in as well as being a lovely gathering place for family and friends.
