The pantry encloses the refrigerator, keeping it out of view in the main areas of the space. Custom build shelves and wine rack surround the refrigerator making it appear to be flush with the rest of the pantry storage. The custom shelves continue into the main kitchen area, elongating and connecting the two spaces.

Incredible views from this waterfront beauty in Ponte Vedra. The clients wanted to update their 1990's home with a fresh open floor plan, furniture grade cabinetry, an eat-in island, a custom built in china display and storage cabinet, wine cooler and commercial appliances. The result is this stunning gathering and entertaining kitchen that opens to the family room, pool and inter-coastal waterway. The choice of a translucent quartz counter top and waterfall island along with a chic wavy back splash all evoke the beauty of the water. Perfect for this setting and this stylish client.

A wonderful home on the sands of Puget Sound was ready for a little updating. With the TV now in a media room, the cabinetry was no longer functional. The entire fireplace wall makes an impressive statement. We modified the kitchen island and appliance layout keeping the overall footprint intact. New counter tops, backsplash tile, and painted cabinets and fixtures refresh the now light and airy chef-friendly kitchen. Andrew Webb- ClarityNW-Judith Wright Design
