Adding a new addition to an old home can be tricky. We used Quartersawn Oak cabinetry, made by Dura Supreme, to create this timeless kitchen. The Cinnamon stain and glaze make this massive space look so warm and welcoming. The Mills Landing door paired with seeded glass helps give this kitchen a true Craftsman look.

Gorgeous, warm kitchen with lovely accents of granite, hardwood and custom cabinetry.

Backsplash- Natural stone subway tile. -Inspiration and Design Challenges The Original kitchen in this 1970’s raised ranch was bright an open yet left the dining room closed off from the home and wasn’t large enough for the island that Joe and his wife would have liked. Joe and Tim from THI Co. had developed a plan relocate the kitchen to one exterior wall and allow for an island that would function for both seating and entertaining. The challenge we faced was the original windows of the kitchen had to completely go. Relying solely on the open floor plan for natural light, Tim opened up the Dining room wall, removed the dividing half wall to the family room and widened doorways to the great room leading from the kitchen and dining room. The removal of the soffits and consistent wood flooring help tie together the adjacent rooms. The plan was for simple clean lines with subtle detail brought out in the trim on the cabinetry and custom 10ft island back panel. Finding a set of appliances was the next task. The kitchen was designed with the intention of being used. The Whirlpool convection wall ovens give the kitchen 3 possible functioning ovens with along with the Samsung 5 burner range. The end result is a simple elegant design that has all the functionality of galley kitchen yet the feel of an open kitchen with twice the square footage.

The outdoor eating area features built-in concrete benches and wood accents. Sometimes the wood acts as a screen from wind and sun, and at other times it creates a more comfortable seating option. The patio is shaded by sliding fabric shades above, which still illuminate the patio, but provide respite from direct sun.

This corner cafe features an outdoor dining area which is screened with wood and utilizes built-in concrete seating. This idea could easily be transformed to be used in a residential condition, especially where privacy is desired.
