Kitchen - cottage l-shaped dark wood floor kitchen idea in Seattle with an undermount sink, shaker cabinets, blue cabinets, blue backsplash, stainless steel appliances and an island

This stylish, family friendly kitchen is also an entertainer’s dream! This young family desired a bright, spacious kitchen that would function just as well for the family of 4 everyday, as it would for hosting large events (in a non-covid world). Apart from these programmatic goals, our aesthetic goal was to accommodate all the function and mess into the design so everything would be neatly hidden away behind beautiful cabinetry and panels. The navy, bifold buffet area serves as an everyday breakfast and coffee bar, and transforms into a beautiful buffet spread during parties (we’ve been there!). The fridge drawers are great for housing milk and everyday items during the week, and both kid and adult beverages during parties while keeping the guests out of the main cooking zone. Just around the corner you’ll find the high gloss navy bar offering additional beverages, ice machine, and barware storage – cheers! Super durable quartz with a marbled look keeps the kitchen looking neat and bright, while withstanding everyday wear and tear without a problem. The practical waterfall ends at the island offer additional damage control in bringing that hard surface all the way down to the beautiful white oak floors. Underneath three large window walls, a built-in banquette and custom table provide a comfortable, intimate dining nook for the family and a few guests while the stunning chandelier ties in nicely with the other brass accents in the kitchen. The thin black window mullions offer a sharp, clean contrast to the crisp white walls and coordinate well with the dark banquette. Thin, tall windows on either side of the range beautifully frame the stunningly simple, double curvature custom hood, and large windows in the bar/butler’s pantry allow additional light to really flood the space and keep and airy feel. The textured wallpaper in the bar area adds a touch of warmth, drama and interest while still keeping things simple.

A comfortable bedroom doesn't have to come with a luxury price tag. This inviting space showcases the Buena Vista® Medium Mattress from Denver Mattress, designed for shoppers who want dependable comfort, lasting quality, and smart value. The Buena Vista® Medium offers a balanced feel that combines everyday support with comfortable cushioning, making it a versatile choice for a variety of sleep styles.

The result is a bedroom that reflects thoughtful design and practical decision-making, proving that quality sleep and beautiful style can go hand in hand without overspending.
