This kitchen is subtle, sophisticated and lovely. These are cabinets are full on custom. Custom paint color and custom stain on the island and bar area. Flat panel frameless construction. A simple 'L" shape kitchen with an island but this more than simple. The corner sink makes this kitchen layout work. So much countertop for chopping and creating that perfect meal. This family has kids at home and has enough storage for all 5 of them. Enough room for all of them in the kitchen at one time! There is a built in pantry and a perfect spot for charging your laptop or putting your keys down. The bar area is so clever. Those drawers were customized to hold wine in just the right spot. This designer was working closely with the clients to maximize storage and create a beautiful space. Photos @michaelakaskel

This thoughtfully designed kitchen blends the clean simplicity of Scandinavian style with the warmth of natural materials. Light oak shaker cabinetry pairs seamlessly with a soft blue quartzite island, creating a balanced palette that feels fresh yet timeless. Brass hardware, a farmhouse sink, and oversized pendant lights add refined character without overpowering the space. A custom range hood and full-height ceramic tile backsplash provide subtle texture and visual interest, while panel-ready appliances and smart storage solutions keep the look streamlined. The spacious island offers ample prep space and casual seating, making it both functional and welcoming for everyday life. From the light porcelain tile flooring to the gold-toned fixtures and tailored detailing, every element works in harmony to create a bright, inviting kitchen that celebrates craftsmanship and modern living.
