This traditional kitchen design has a surprise around every corner, as it comes packed with amazing storage options throughout the kitchen. Behind the cherry glaze DuraSupreme cabinetry is a treasure trove of storage, including pull out shelves for small appliances, spice storage, a cutlery drawer insert, vertical storage for baking trays and cutting boards, a dish drawer with peg inserts, and a built in microwave. The island also includes a hidden ice dispenser and bar stools that store neatly underneath the island. A slate veneer hood, SubZero Wolf appliances, and Danze faucet are among the kitchen design details that make it the perfect center of this home.

After more than a decade in their new Alexandria home, our clients decided their kitchen was ready for a major refresh, both in form and function. The original stained wood cabinets and granite countertops had served them well, but the traditional design no longer fit with their evolving style which had become less formal and more transitional. The homeowners liked the idea of two-toned kitchen cabinets, so we opted for a combination of pure white and charcoal gray for dramatic contrast. Brushed gold fixtures and statement brass pulls add warmth and sophistication. The distinctive quartzite counters are a showstopper, with unique veining and striking color variation, from blue to gray to ochre. The shimmering blue-gray backsplash unites the entire space. The overall goal was to create an expansive entertaining kitchen that could accommodate our clients’ large gatherings of family and friends, and provide them with several zones for prepping, serving, seating, and socializing. Also high on the clients’ wish list: a more generous island, professional appliances, and better storage. We expanded the island in two directions to allow for comfortable seating at the counter with plenty of room for a table in the breakfast nook. An expandable bar height table in the adjacent dining area offers even more flexibility for eating and socializing. We designed a custom hutch which has a multitude of storage options and functionality – open display shelves, roll-outs, drawers, extra counter/serving space, as well as a beverage fridge and appliance garage/coffee center. On the opposite side of the kitchen, we replaced a small pantry closet with a furniture style built-in that took advantage of underutilized space. Anticipating issues with supply chain, we opted to use a local cabinet maker on this project which allowed us to fully customize the cabinets for optimal functionality. Other stand-out features include a Thermador appliance package, workstation farmhouse sink, ‘touch’ faucet, hot+cold water dispenser, and hidden toe-kick storage. Our clients now have a beautiful, cohesive space that reflects their personal style and fulfills their dream of a having an expansive kitchen where they can cook and entertain for years to come.

By removing the existing sofit, and replacing that space with cabinets, helps to visually enlarge the kitchen. The existing fridge was closer to the corner, making it difficult to open the right hinged door. By switching the ovens with the fridge, provided the room needed. The cabinetry to the right of the ovens was a shallow pantry cabinet - we replaced with base and wall cabinets providing space for additional counter area.
