This warm and timeless kitchen pairs stained cherry base cabinets with custom-painted slab uppers for a refined, mid-century inspired look. The striking checkerboard tile floor by Daltile sets a bold foundation, while quartzite countertops and a vertical tile backsplash add texture and contrast. A mix of natural light and Lutron-controlled LED illumination enhances the angled wood ceiling and architectural beams above, creating a space that feels both nostalgic and renewed.

Working on this modern kitchen design gave me great pleasure. Unique flat-panel door, integrated and paneled high-end appliances, quartz counters, lacquered and wood veneer finishes, are just a few attributes of this stunning kitchen. Many intricate details, handle-less design, ample modern storage, elevated this kitchen to be one of my favorites projects.

Our clients love to cook and had a serious deficit when it came to space. We were able to redesign the space incorporating the breakfast area into the kitchen doubling their storage and wall space. The kitchen is now a chef’s dream! We love how open and bright it is now! Part of the remodel was expanding the windows in the breakfast area to take in their beautiful backyard and adding a new window next to the space where the door used to be.

Fireclay's handmade tiles are perfect for visually maximizing smaller spaces. For these condo dwellers, mustard yellow kitchen tiles along the backsplash infuse the space with warmth and charm. Tile Shown: 2x8 Tile in Mustard Seed DESIGN Taylor + Taylor Co PHOTOS Tiffany J. Photography
