Fairfax Station Kitchen
This bright and airy kitchen used to be a dated family room covered in lots of wood. The homeowners wanted to take advantage of the rooms large size, beautiful views of the surrounding woods, and openness to the adjacent dining room. We utilized IKEA cabinets with Semi-handmade DIY shaker fronts which allowed us to have the contrast of bright white (Benjamin Moore Decorator's White) shaker style on the perimeter and a dark green island (Benjamin Moore's Jade Romanesque). This kitchen doesn't have a true pantry but now has more than enough food storage space in a series of 6 pantry depth and height cabinets next to the fridge. The center island which is HUGE, utilizes cabinets on both the front and the back creating space for less often used appliances. The counter for the island is a full Quartz slab in a marble look called Calcatta Verona. The perimeter countertops are also Quartz in a solid light grey. The brand new Marvin Contemporary Ultimate windows and doors in a black finish on both the interior and exterior. The homeowners weren't thrilled with their previous kitchen's electric range so they upgraded to a Wolf 48" dual-fuel range that has 6 burners, griddle and coordinating hood with the code required make-up air. The microwave is a super sleek drawer model which also functions as a warming drawer. Lighting abounds here with 2 clear glass pendants, 6 recessed dimmable LEDs, 2 black swing arm lights over each window, and under cabinet LEDs. To keep with the sleek modern look all hardware and fixtures are in a matte black and the floor tile is a textured linen-look grey 12 x 24 called Tapestry Fog with light grey grout.
