RESIDENTIAL PORTFOLIO
|
Private Residence Read about this project in Distinctive Kitchen Solutions magazine. |
| The owner of this elegant home is a gourmet cook and former caterer who likes to work alone. This Tuscan-inspired kitchen was designed with a fairly compact work space and prep area for the solo cook, but with a generous counter and plenty of seating so friends and family can enjoy her kitchen artistry without getting underfoot. |
Part of a major home renovation by our sister company, Abingdon Development Corporation, this project involved tearing out a load-bearing wall between the existing kitchen and dining room and replacing it with a steel beam. Lighted glass-front cabinets show off fine crystal while the built-in bookshelves accommodate the homeowner’s extensive collection of cookbooks. |
| When it came to this showplace kitchen, the homeowner wanted the best of everything: professional stove, custom cabinets in stained pine, verde butterfly granite countertops, tumbled marble backsplash. The floor is a custom combination of imported tiles in buff and slate tiles in green. |
The counter is perfect for casual dining, for staging a buffet, or for moving dishes to the formal dining room. Throughout the space are thoughtful nooks – coffee bar, wet bar, wine cooler – where guests can serve themselves. |
