A rustic modern kitchen featuring custom wood cabinetry, stone accents, and sleek energy-efficient appliances, blending functionality with organic elegance in this sustainable mountain home.

This kitchen nook is beyond cute with a splash of style. The fabrics used on the cushions are exotic and pull in the culture presented by the woven chair.

An upholstered banquette creates generous seating while allowing the dining table to sit closer to the wall, preserving circulation through the adjoining kitchen. The sculpted dark wood frame gives the bench an architectural presence, while neutral upholstery keeps it light and versatile. A plum accent pillow and abstract artwork introduce soft color, creating a dining area that feels comfortable, polished and intentionally connected to the surrounding space.

This eat-in dining nook was designed to bring warmth and intimacy to the open kitchen layout. A built-in banquette tucks seamlessly beneath large windows, maximizing seating while creating a cozy, casual gathering spot for everyday meals. Paneled millwork adds architectural detail and softness, while woven roman shades introduce texture and warmth. A solid wood dining table grounds the space, paired with simple, tailored chairs to keep the look relaxed and functional. Layered pillows in soft neutrals and muted color add comfort without overwhelming the palette. Natural light fills the nook, highlighting the warm wood flooring and creating an inviting place for morning coffee, homework, or casual entertaining. The result is a kitchen dining area that feels intentional, comfortable, and deeply livable — a natural extension of the heart of the home.

The dinning room has two windows looking straight out to the street giving a lot of visibility into the room as well as light. We did Hunter Douglas Pirouette shades to cover the windows and help with all problem areas.
