Gallery #5

Images #5 and 6 are different shots of the same kitchen, which was featured in the March/April 2008 of Signature Kitchens & Baths Magazine. The homeowner’s didn’t like anything about their existing kitchen. The space was broken up and not well organized.  The mudroom/pantry area had limited storage and a peninsula with overhead cabinets separated the kitchen from the dining area and totally blocked any natural light.  The remodel was a full gut. The existing dark cabinetry was replaced with UltraCraft Sakura Cherry Thermofoil cabinets. The homeowner’s wish list also called for a small breakfast bar with seating for three, more natural light, better ventilation, and contemporary styling. Since aisle space was tight, in planning the breakfast bar that wrapped around the end of the island, the design team opted for a 1/2" thick clear Starfire glass countertop that floats above the granite island top. It is supported by stainless steel standoffs along the perimeter of the island with one large custom stainless bracket supporting the deepest part of the end curve without taking up any floor space. This glass top helps maintain the light, open feeling of the new kitchen as well as allowing for views of the granite beneath.
