The original kitchen for this waterfront condo was small and closed off from the living space. The clients main wish was to open it up to take advantage of the stunning water views in the living room. By re-configuring the the space and taking down a main wall we were able to enlarge the kitchen and create an inviting eating bar facing Long Island Sound. The custom cabinetry is a Flat Panel door with white paint and a warm driftwood stain on White Oak.

A sleek white, ultra modern island allows for guests to enjoy island seating and the view at the same time. Slim, angular custom designed brass legs support the 13 foot long island, creating a cooking area with downdraft, preparation area, storage and seating. The pop of orange lifts the scene from the cozy social seating to the front of the kitchen.

The backsplash is a stone mosaic which beautifully complements the color of the perimeter cabinets and the stone wall gives the room an overall rustic feel. Designer: Jeff Eakley, Bilotta Kitchens.

Located in Hansville's WA., this waterfront home's kitchen was designed in the Craftsman Style to go with the Northwest architecture of the home. The cabinets are from DeWil's Custom Cabinetry, made from Quarter-sawn White Oak in a 111 Cherry stain makes the cabinets seem more like furniture than kitchen cabinets. Many of my client's antique furniture pieces were also were made from Quarter-sawn Oak which added the overall warmth and charm. Keeping to the same cabinet footprint so we could save the existing hardwood flooring, we were able to rearrange some of the cabinets making the space more functional.

My clients purchased a grand home on a spectacular waterfront setting, but the interior felt dark and drab. Our challenge was to turn the existing home into a high end Hampton-style residence without major construction. We choose to focus on color, contrast and texture, changing almost every surface in the home and reversing the contrast to make the home light and airy. We invested the construction expense on elements crucial to style and function. Removing a row of out of scale upper cabinetry in the kitchen and replacing it with 3 double hung windows expands the view to 180 degrees and floods the room with light. To create symmetry and balance in the kitchen, we moved the cooktop and centered the sink. The wine cellar entry opened awkwardly into the kitchen and there was no pantry, so we modified the wine cellar and moved the door for better flow, allowing for a large pantry. On the opposite end of the great room, we balanced the fireplace with cabinetry and tall wainscoting. The floors were stained dark espresso while all other trim and cabinetry went a bright white. It took 14 tries to get the perfect wall color – a pale beige/color reminiscent of sand. The blue and white furniture and details pull the entire space together and creates a sophisticated yet casual feel. Photos by Steve Armstrong www.cascadepromedia.com
