Keen Kitchen
We began by lightening the space up with a whole unit paint job and lighter engineered wood floors. This lighter space gave us a great foundation for the relaxing feel the client wanted. These clients do not cook. They typically order in or eat out. They do like to entertain with light hors' dourves and drinks, so with that in mind, we proposed a reduction in cabinets to give the kitchen area a larger more airy feel. They fell in love with the blue glass picket tile we found and loved the idea of making a feature tile wall with floating shelves. To complement the tile, we found granite with hints of blue and added the waterfall edge that gave the client the feel of a wall of water. Large polished nickel hardware gave character to the new cabinet door and drawer fronts. For a unique touch, we found reclaimed wood from an old train car that was lightly stained to pull out some blue/gray tones.
