Upon returning from vacation our clients came home to find a flooded kitchen. Not the best way to end a vacation, but it did give them the opportunity to upgrade the kitchen in a house they had been living in for 10 years.
The client asked for a unique, but not showy, contemporary kitchen with a combination of open and closed storage. Another goal was to open up the previously closed-off central kitchen to the adjacent living spaces as much as possible.
Materials were chosen to create a warm palette that was simple, yet inviting with spaces that would allow for display of their collected objects. Paneling and cabinet fronts were a combination of rift-sawn white oak and painted. Counters were Caeserstone with Corian backsplashes. The former doorway into the kitchen was opened up as much as possible, and a small opening was made facing the front entry, which let in some light and allows the cook to see who is at the door.
