KITCHEN RENOVATION - After Photo
My clients are a sophisticated professional couple returning to their home town in rural Alabama. This kitchen was part of an entire home makeover/addition that we designed, and which gave us design flexibility. The only constraints for the kitchen were that we stay within the original footprint of the existing kitchen. A beautiful kitchen was the owner’s main wish and a binder of Clive Christian kitchens was her inspiration.
Removing walls and integrating the living room with the kitchen brought up the issue of how best to marry the antiques and paintings of this urbane couple with a functional kitchen. After viewing photographs of items they wanted to use in the adjoining room the Tuscan/Country theme evolved and the design developed.
The low ceiling height limited how my client’s vision of grandeur might be interrupted. Taking the cabinets to the ceiling gives a perception of height while the crystals from the chandeliers provided the appropriate bling desired by the client.
The beveled glass doors with glass shelves and lights is a main vocal point for the south side of the kitchen and definitely made a big difference in the aesthetic success.
Optimizing cabinet storage with pullouts is what should never be left out of any kitchen design and will be the one item that clients will thank you for each time they open their cabinet doors.
