Beautiful open concept gray kitchen in Charlotte, NC with large island decorated for Christmas with wreath on the range, red apples and holiday shaped charcuterie boards, white quartzite countertop and white porcelain backsplash with matte black hardware

This butler’s pantry of this traditional South Carolina mountain home is as elegant as it is functional. With ivory walls and ceilings, dark grey moldings and rich walnut-stained hardwood flooring, the space is both luxurious and welcoming. Custom taupe cabinets with chocolate glaze are accented by pewter hardware. The restoration glass with lead caming on the upper doors showcases elegant tableware. A rolling library ladder coasts on a bronze rail with brass appointments, making for easy access to the highest shelves. A white and gray marble backsplash pairs with Black Pearl brushed granite countertops. Everything needed to host casual dinners and sophisticated soirees alike can be stored here, giving the space purpose as well as beauty. Finishing the room with one final detail is a vintage aqua rug. The rug adds color to the neutral palette and calls to mind the lake views just outside.

Consider window treatments in your dining area. You don't want your guests to have sun in their eyes.
