TRANSITIONAL

kitchen

the project

The kitchen and family room in this home
are combined to make a great space for
entertaining and hanging out. The synergy of
these two spaces was imperative in the overall
design as I envisioned that the homeowners
would spend a lot of time in this space.

“A white kitchen feels fresh
and uncomplicated”
foyer chandelier

The selection of stone for the fireplace
wall needed to work well with the finishes in
the kitchen. A white kitchen feels fresh and
uncomplicated. The shaker style cabinetry was
elevated by adding a small half inch banding
in addition to the traditional shaker look.
This created a little more interest and a lot
more style. I’m usually not a fan of granite,
therefore the slab for the waterfall of the island
took me by surprise. The fireplace wall was
so monochromatic; the kitchen would have
lacked pizazz with a solid coloured quartz
counter top. When I saw this piece of granite,
I was sold. It had the movement and depth
of marble or quartzite with the durability of
granite! The stainless steel backsplash provided
a great backdrop for the ‘statement’ stone that
was used on all the counters in the kitchen.
Lastly, the three pendants over the island are a
nod to the foyer chandelier keeping the design
consistent throughout the home.
