This traditionally styled kitchen showcases a refined blend of timeless design and modern functionality. Richly detailed cabinetry offers a polished and elegant appearance, reflecting light to enhance the room's spaciousness. The central island, anchored by a custom-fabricated metal base, provides a striking contrast to the warm cabinetry while offering ample workspace and integrated storage. Overhead, classic lighting fixtures complete the sophisticated ambiance of the space. One of the most distinctive features of the kitchen is the sliding backsplash system, which reveals concealed storage or spice niches behind beautifully crafted panels. This thoughtful detail merges form and function, maintaining clean sightlines while maximizing utility. Adding to the intrigue, the bar area is equipped with hidden doors that open seamlessly to reveal beverage storage including a paneled ice maker and glassware, blending discreetly into the surrounding millwork for a sleek, uninterrupted design and a true bar setup. The overall layout is designed for both everyday use and entertaining. Precision craftsmanship is evident in every corner— from the seamless cabinetry transitions to the integrated appliances and refined trim work. Every element is considered, from the durable finishes to the subtle mix of traditional and modern details offering a culinary environment that is as inspiring as it is efficient. Tucked just beyond the main kitchen, the butler’s pantry extends the workspace with additional cabinetry, countertop surfaces, high gloss cabinets, and hidden appliances, perfect for staging, prep work, or entertaining. Designed with continuity in mind, the pantry mirrors the kitchen’s traditional elegance and high-end finishes while offering discreet utility. This area underscores the home’s attention to detail, functionality, and a thoughtful approach to transitional spaces.

There’s nothing quite like a cozy cottage to call home. Especially when you can get creative, renovating key spaces to balance modern convenience and vintage charm. We collaborated with the talented homeowners to bring their vision to life an the results speak for themselves. A gourmet kitchen fits seamlessly in the original home’s footprint and not one, but two thoughtfully re-designed bathrooms bring a slice of luxury and function to this sweet little home. The modern-meets-classic kitchen tiles started it all, setting the tone for the entire renovation. Gourmet appliances and custom cabinetry maximized function and storage and new lighting was a perfect finishing touch. We completely re-worked the home’s “master” bath (you should see the “before!”), adding a spacious frameless glass shower. In the basement, the new bathroom is every bit the retreat the homeowner dreamed of, with the freestanding composite tub, an enormous vanity and a hidden stackable washer and dryer. The decommissioned fireplace is oh-so decorative, showing off with new Ann Sacks marble mosaic tile. The transformation is impressive, and it’s so rewarding to see this lovely couple and sweet pup happy in their adorable home! Furniture staging for photography provided by Crush Staging, Portland.

Photographer: Steven Paul Whitsitt ALLENTOWN CHARMER - Designed by George Siwy of Artisan Kitchens and Baths This unique home located in the historical Allentown area of Buffalo, was purchased by two busy professionals who had a dream to bring back this historical mansion to its original glory and add a modernized kitchen to its design. The owners with their passion for Architecture and their love of cooking and entertaining hired George Siwy of Artisan Kitchens & Baths at Appliance Associates to make this dream a reality. The project started with the removal of a load bearing wall that structurally supported two stories above. The project called for a structural engineer to design the right size beam that can be supported by two columns that were built flush into the walls to give the space a more open feel. George Suggested in bringing in the homes architectural elements by choosing materials and details that were historic to the era of the home. Such details consist of the inset cabinet doors and its recessed panel and molding details, which relate to the quarter sawn oak stair case existing and wainscoting panel details found throughout the first floor of the home. The perimeter cabinetry in the kitchen consist of a maple wood species with a reversed raised panel door style painted white. The island and bar cabinetry consist of a wood species quarter sawn oak stained in an onyx color to relate to a historic cast iron stove inserted into a fireplace which is all original to the home. The imperfect glass seen on either side of the mullion glass windows, which are original to the home, is repeated within the design of the hutch and bar areas with a “seeded glass” material. The natural countertop materials chosen for this project were seen in the early 20th century era homes, such as Carrera marble which was used in the island and bar areas as well as the Soapstone material used for the perimeter cabinetry. The well thought out design has made the homeowners dreams a reality, with a kitchen that relates well to its existing architectural elements and brought up to date with modern conveniences of today. Designer: George Siwy Special Features: Glass hutch cabinetry with wainscoting, large bar area with beverage center and prep sink, expanded island with seating for four.
