Eric Kneller from Reico Kitchen & Bath in Frederick, MD, partnered with Ravenwood to design a transitional kitchen using Merillat Autograph cabinetry. The kitchen features the Bayard door style in an Evercore painted Warm White finish for the wall cabinets and Maple in Stained Molasses for the base cabinets. The client shared, “We avoided a kitchen remodel for years due to stories of stressful experiences. Our project with Reico was nothing like that! From start to finish, everything was handled professionally. Eric played a key role in the process, offering helpful suggestions for the layout and design that gave us great options for customization.” Eric added, “The homeowners wanted more storage space, especially since there was no pantry in the home. We worked together to design a solution that wouldn’t interfere with the dining area. The transitional style of the cabinets works well with the warm white and dark stained finishes. I’m pleased with the final result.” Photos courtesy of BTW Images.

Art display in a house with 'big walls' is strategic. Wall decor can be used to create 'areas', and my advice is to experiment during installation with placement and size; it's ok to put a few extra holes in the walls too! They can always be filled:) Vibrant colors: yellows, earth tones and blue accents. Jaimie Ellsworth's indigo elephant painting and cobalt blue Blencko reproduction lamp, $525.00.
