Designer: Barbara Stowe, Allied ASID The clients were looking for a complete update of their original 1960's kitchen. They requested a clean and fresh look that would withstand the test of time. Although the footprint remained the same, eliminating soffits allowed for full height cabinets and made the space look larger. Brookhaven by Wood-Mode cabinetry, a narrow pull-out pantry cabinet and custom built-in plate rack provide plenty of storage and the dual-fuel Wolf range and Sub-Zero refrigerator are welcome upgrades. Classic colors of gray and yellow are repeated in the handmade ceramic tile back splash, the granite counter tops, porcelain plank tile flooring, decorative valance and the numerous fabrics. Antique chairs upholstered with new fabrics and a farmhouse table made from old doors add warmth, while polished nickel hardware and Schonbek crystal pendants add a bit of bling. The result is a kitchen that is wonderful to cook in as well as being a lovely gathering place for family and friends.

This country kitchen was designed with a busy family in mind. Lots of room around this massive island for the family to gather. Bright, white cabinets along the outside of the kitchen with built in double ovens and lots of light allow for natural flow. The beautiful grey, distressed island with loads of storage, a prep sink and a hole in the countertop for garbage to be wiped in makes meal prep a breeze. Plate racks, spice pull out drawers, and even a small bench for the cats make this homey kitchen complete.

This client wanted an open floor plan and we made it happen! The rich colors in this cherry kitchen with the white subway tile make the room so warm and inviting. The big kitchen island is used all the time for family gatherings!

This simple clean line shaker two toned kitchen. White painted upper cabinets to the ceiling with glass inserts and gray painted base cabinets. Stainless steel appliances and brushed chrome fixtures through out. Great way to utilize a small space.

Scottish architect Charles R. Macintosh left an abundance of work and creative effort to inspire generations. This kitchen is one of those inspirations. Designed and created for a client's row house in the D.C. area by Jaeger & Ernst custom cabinetmakers the attempt was to open and lift the space, provide a truly efficient kitchen and to acknowledge just a little of the architecture of the home. Too many kitchen designers design without consideration of the total feel of a home's architectural elements. Subconsciously the trim, casings, window style, flooring, door design, newel post, exterior features, fireplaces, etc act to provide us with a sense of the home's purpose and intent and quality. Originally in the architect's or builder's mind there was purpose and intent. Yes, they did not have the wherewithal of modern conveniences but rest assured many had a strong sense of proportion, intent and purposefulness when the home was imagined and built. We do ourselves and our homes a disservice when we act without regard for the home's legacy. Restoration is a glad burden; restoration is not a thing to be gotten beyond, rather it's an exciting path of growth and appreciation. Taken, skill and creativity are required, the skill sets of Jaeger & Ernst cabinetmakers: 434-973-7018
