A life of inspired beauty featuring touches of elegance with a little old-fashioned detail combine to create the transitional spaces throughout this home. Creating a whole-home design centered around an open-plan kitchen and living space, the home features custom, handcrafted Wood-Mode cabinetry in the walk-in pantry, bar, master bath, and powder room. For these New Jersey homeowners wanting touches of elegance with a little old-fashioned detail, Penterman Kitchen & Bath created bright and roomy transitional spaces throughout the home. Starting in the heart of the home, the kitchen, collaborating with Wood-Mode on a design centered on its Arlington Recessed doors handcrafted of maple wood and finished in Vintage Bright White. Capped with dark, natural walnut countertops and Belwith Keeler Trellis hardware in polished nickel, finish out the overarching cabinetry design, creating a bright, open kitchen and living space. Beautiful mullion cabinets are faced with mirrors allowing light to be reflected around the room and hide items that the homeowner does not want on display. Stainless steel Wolf-Sub Zero appliances, including a gas stove with herringbone marble backsplash and oil rubbed bronze water appliances including a pot filler, coordinate to ground the transitional design. An oversized island is capped with a beautiful grey marble top and houses a strategically placed apron front ceramic farmhouse sink, allowing the homeowners to watch TV and engage with family members in the living area while washing dishes. The walk-in pantry continues the design, white cabinetry with striking walnut countertops, and an overabundance of under counter dry and refrigerated storage. Matching handcrafted walnut shelving becomes a featured architectural element as Hafele under shelf lighting and high gloss white tile create a bright, open space. Plenty of electrical outlets allow the homeowner to keep entertaining prep in the pantry, allowing for clean kitchen countertops. A breakfast nook featuring a ring of windows is drawn into the room with the same walnut wood from the countertops utilized on the nooks built-in benches. The family dog even has a place at the table with a feeding area and cabinet above to hold dog food and supplies. To soften and melt into the adjacent room, the bar area features marble countertops with the coordinating herringbone marble backsplash. Glass front upper cabinets allow the homeowner to display treasured glassware while matching hardware pulls the specialized area into the overall space design.
