One of the homeowners' renovation goals was to incorporate a larger gas cooktop to make meal preparation easier. The cooktop is located conveniently between the sink and the refrigerator. Now, not only is the kitchen more functional, it's also much more appealing to the eye. Note the handsome backsplash medallion in a strong neutral color palette which adds visual interest to the room and compliments the granite counter and maple cabinetry.

A symmetry supreme organizes the whimsical design elements such as classical porches, subtle bays, brick chimneys, lofty widow’s walk, and diamond-pane awning windows that decorate this peaceful easy dwelling on the Long Island Sound. James Merrell Photography

A vaulted ceiling in the spacious master bedroom allows sunlight to pour in through the elliptical arch of a pointed sunburst transom and the shallow triple bay of oversized windows below. Roll shades are built into the architecture and at the press of a button the room’s television ascends from the shelf of the window paneling within which it’s otherwise concealed.

The large granite topped island provides a surfeit of space for food preparation. It's also an ideal place to eat a quick meal or serve appetizers to visiting friends. The white painted Kahle's Cabinetry in the island was made right here in Pennsylvania.

Our clients love to entertain, but their old kitchen just wasn't conducive for hosting friends. Among other problems, pinch points caused traffic jams at key areas--especially between the adjoining family room and deck. By expanding their kitchen's footprint and reconfiguring the layout, we were able to provide them with the entertaining-friendly space they desired.

Under the evening sky, the shimmering glow from each window pane brings certain grace and sophistication to the hardy shingle style facades of this peaceful sound view home. James Merrell Photography
