Beauty in the Details Project Details Designer: Amy Van Wie Cabinetry: Brookhaven I – Frameless Cabinetry Wood: Maple Finishes: Antique White on Perimeter; Distressed Black Espresso Glaze on Island Door: Perimeter – Edgemont Recessed; Island – Edgemont Raised Countertop: Grey Soapstone Awards 2013 Parade of Homes, Pinnacle Homes-Best Kitchen 2013 NKBA Tri-State Award Columbia Cabinets designed the cabinetry for this stunning home that was featured in the 2013 Parade of Homes and is a multi-award design winner. After the initial meet with the clients and Witt Construction, I began to think about how the space could work. The cabinets were crafted with Edgemont Recessed doors in maple with an antique white finish…a perfect selection for the kitchen’s traditional/coastal design. For countertop, I suggested modern grey soapstone. With a nod to today’s popular trend to mix and match finishes, the island was completed in a black espresso glaze distressed finish with maple Edgemont Raised doors. What really distinguishes this project is the attention to the details. Along the refrigerator wall, the shelf area has lowered seeded mullion glass cabinets and a valance. This created an airy, open look within the space. The bead board accents and corbels throughout the kitchen complete the design.

Smokey Blue Kitchen: A Blend of Classic Elegance and Modern Flair This kitchen design showcases a harmonious balance of sophistication and warmth, where smokey blue cabinetry sets the tone for an inviting yet stylish space. Thoughtful details such as brass hardware and a striking black island create depth and visual interest, while natural stone countertops bring a touch of organic beauty. Key Features of This Kitchen Design: Smokey Blue Cabinets: The cabinetry’s soft, smoky blue color adds a layer of elegance and tranquility, making the kitchen feel welcoming and refined. This hue serves as the perfect backdrop for other design elements, exuding both charm and contemporary appeal. Natural Stone Countertops: Luxurious, natural stone countertops with subtle veining offer durability and timeless beauty. Their organic patterns pair perfectly with the blue cabinets, adding texture and a natural touch that grounds the space. Brass Hardware: Polished brass handles and knobs introduce warmth and a hint of luxury, standing out against the smokey blue and complementing the black island. The brass accents elevate the overall design and tie in seamlessly with transitional or traditional styles. Black Island: The bold, black island serves as a dramatic centerpiece, providing a striking contrast to the softer tones of the surrounding cabinets. This focal point not only enhances the color palette but also adds a touch of modernity. Pops of Color: Thoughtfully chosen decorative elements, patterned textiles, add personality and liveliness without overpowering the sophisticated color scheme. Glass Elegance: Glass-front cabinets or pendant lights with glass detailing contribute to an airy, open feel while adding a touch of refinement. These elements subtly reflect light and elevate the kitchen’s ambiance. This smokey blue kitchen is a masterful blend of classic and contemporary design. The use of brass hardware, natural stone, and a bold black island alongside glass details creates a space that is not only elegant but also rich with character and warmth.
